Are atoms magnetic and if they are magnetic can there properties be manipulated by electric current and cause a quantum leap of electrons which puts negative energy and causes a cancellation of gravity.
does this make sense:confused:
if not with electricity then how could this effect be achieved ?
I don't fully understand the question. But as far as I know atoms are not magnetic or something.
But...... the nucleus of an atom does have a certain spin. This spin does create a magnetic field around the nucleus, just as fast spinning neutron stars etc.
This magnetic field is the basic for NMR (nucleair magnetic radiation) which is used in MRI. That is used in brainscans and stuff.
I don't know exactly, but it is something like this.

Most atoms have a net magnetic dipole moment (i.e. they act like little bar magnets). They can be affected by both external magnetic and electric fields, which can produce forces on the atoms. This in no way cancels gravity or affects it in any way, but electromagnetic forces can certainly hold atoms up against the force of gravity.
There are three types of atomic magnetic interaction -- paramagnetism, diamagnetism, and ferromagnetism.
Rather than to type out an essay, I'll just refer you to the hyperphysics site, which gives a fairly hand-waving treatment: http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/solids/magpr.html
In no way does any electromagnetic effect cancel gravity, however -- but, as James said, you can certainly use an electromagnetic force to counteract the gravitational force. For example, you're sitting in a chair right now -- you have (at least) two forces acting upon you -- one is the gravitational force, attracting you to the center of the earth. The other is the force of atoms in the chair pushing back on you, which is electromagnetic in origin. Thus, you, sitting in your chair, are defying gravity with electromagnetism, all the time.
