If humans could fly

Now it is assumed that humans in this reality do not have what it takes to fly without the aid of some machine. But what if humans did have the ability to fly? What if humans could just jump up and fly away.

Humans do not have wings. Most things that can fly in nature has wings, even a lot of man made flying machines have wings. Humans not having wings do give some level of problem for humans flying. So how would humans fly if they do not have wings? In dreams and fiction humans can fly. Superman can fly and although not human does have the physical appearance of a human, i.e. no wings. However superman is alien which the ability of flight is not explained. Although there are theories to how superman can fly, such as, magic, supernatural ability, anti-gravitate and riding magnetic fields. The first theory magic, superman could be using some kind of magical power of levitation to fly, this would enable him to be able to fly as well as be able to walk and run. The second theory of supernatural ability would be very much like magic, in that he would have an ability to fly when he wanted to. Anti-gravitation cannot be the answer because there is no gravity in space and superman is seen flying in space. The last riding magnetic fields could be the answer but would be very much like the supernatural ability, in that he would have an ability to ride them. This does not really answer how superman can fly but has shown us ideas to how humans may be able to.

If humans could gain the ability to reverse gravity or create an upward fiction humans could fly. How this would happen is unknown but if humans could master gravity then they could fly at will. Let us assume humans gain the ability to fly and stop trying to explain how it could work. The truth is humans have not displayed any means of flying and science would say they cannot anyway.

So humans learn to fly, how fast can they go? G-force is the acceleration experienced when something goes fast. Humans appear to black out and can even die from g-force. This may not be a problem though; if humans can gain the ability to fly they may also gain the ability to reduce the fiction of the air around them and as such lower the g-force. If this is the case would it be fair to say the humans could fly very fast? There would not be any power needed or muscle movement and as such nothing to delay the travel. The whole earth is only around 25,000 miles around if humans could travel 5000 miles pre hour they could go around the globe in 4 hours. What about travelling even faster than that? I am not talking about the speed of light as that is very fast around 300,000,000 miles a second. But it is possible if humans can over come the two limits, flight and g force.

What about water? If a human is underwater a human uses their muscles to swim. If a human can fly it is safe to assume they can fly underwater and as such not need to use their muscles to swim. This would mean humans could move through water very quickly and fly out of it when required.

This theory is going to be listed under science fiction as although it is an interesting idea it is more likely not to happen. The idea of humans gaining more abilities is very interesting and has been featured in television shows such as the USA show Heroes. If humans could gain this ability what other abilities could humans gain? Precognition or even post-cognition, not that post-cognition would be of any real help but the ability to see what has happened would be an interesting ability. Flight is just one of many abilities humans could gain.
