Also does anyone know how those ultra strong magnets are affecting our planet if at all?
Edit: sorry the [link](https://imamagnets.com/en/blog/what-is-most-powerful-magnet/#:~:text=The%20world’s%20most%20powerful%20magnet%20is%2044.14%20Teslas.&text=This%20super%20magnet%20has%20a,we%20find%20in%20a%20hospital) says 900,000 times the earths magnetism
Edit 2: Thank you wonderful people for clearing that up. Your minor support did more for my mental health than you realize not just for the knowledge but also the general support from the community. Y’all are amazing.

Magnets ability to do, well, magnet stuff decreases rapidly over distance. Very rapidly. That means to effect a long distance, magnets need to either be super big or bonkers, absolutely wildly powerful, or even both.
The earth’s magnetic field is both powerful and super big…. so it does its thing, its really really big
I’m not sure exactly what magnet you’re talking about, but im sure its fairly small in comparison. Even industrial facilities that do extreme magnetism, with powerful magnets, the magnetism doesn’t stretch out very far, think like in terms of like several meters, with most of the power right up near the magnet as it drops off tremendously with distance. The earth’s magnetic field though is just insanely massive, so it still has some strength even at a great distance
So if you put a compass right up to a small powerful magnet, yeah it’ll fuck up the compass, but even if its just a little bit away, the power of that small magnet won’t be much, so it won’t affect the compass, the earth will though
