Unlikely. I'd recommend flipping through an issue of Discovery, Omni or
Popular Mechanics before you accept Life's version of what is and isn't
an advance in technology. Medical technology alone has advanced in leaps
and bounds since 1969, and if you don't consider the Internet an earth
shattering invention then you're not using it properly.

I have seen some interesting experiments in what might be considered
'anti-gravity' ... though I can't remember the exact reference they've
started to levitate frogs using magnetic forces.

Did you pick that term up from the article? If you did then it shows how
misinformed it was, there is no such thing as 'Devolution'.
