Answer 1

Answer: Water is magnetically charged, with positive and negative sides. You can bend falling water with an electric charge.

Warm water has a lot of energy, which is greater than the magnetic force. Cold water will attract itself while hot water won’t.

Even cold water has enough energy for the molecules to have enough energy to not stick magnetically. Once it does have that energy, the magnets take over and form a crystal much larger and stronger than the water before.

Water is like a magic puzzle, if you move the pieces all around they fit in a tiny box and flow, if you let the piece slow down, they will form the picture on their own as be much bigger than the pile of pieces.
