What is a magnet? Why there are only a few metals that are attracted to magnets?
In: Physics
Hi, it looks like you’ve just asked a question humans have yet to get a clear answer to.
You’ll find descriptions of what magnets DO, how they BEHAVE, or what we use them for, but we still don’t know what magnets ARE.
it seems everything is a magnet. We experience magnetism in some metals not because they are the only metals with magnetism, but that the magnetism is unbalanced, and so interacts with other nearby objects.
The magnetic and electric fields are properties of spacetime, and depending on your velocity will measure certain values. Spacetime is 4 dimensional, and 4 dimensional rotations can appear in 3d space as translations, so where in 3 dimensions, two magnets look as if they are moving apart or together, in 4 dimensions they are simply rotating.
Don’t worry if you’re confused by this, it took me years of studying physics to get an understanding of it.
