Mahindra's brow furrowed as he processed the information. "But, sir," he persisted, "is it possible to remain suspended in thin air without moving?"
"To remain suspended in thin air without any physical support, Mahindra," he replied, "would require defying the laws of physics. It's not something that's possible in our understanding of the world."
