Magnets

Post by Guest »

Do we know exactly how these things work and why they work or is there still anything yet unknown about magnets or magnitism in general. If that's the right word for it :confused: :icon26:

This is where those "books" come in handy.

Actualy, I was hoping this is where the discussion would come in, you know, this being a discussion oriented message board I thought maybe that might not be too far fetched, but hey, with fucking idiots like you all over the place I guess I could be wrong!

Hey man, you mind telling me how this "gravity" stuff works?

Man that's some heavy stuff man.

Well I'm actualy curious about the relation between gravity and magnets. got any input or are you just going to do the same thing you do in every thread I've posted in since 1999.

That is something which has always intrigued me but I never really took the time to do a research on it. How do we make one? What type of material? Is there a way to make one any stronger from another one of the same size/mass?

Yes pete, they can. I'm more curious to know if we know everything there is to know about the way they function or if there's still some things that are a puzzle. I figure one of the info gurus probably know.

That is something else I've always wondered...How does it react in space? In a zero gravity environment? On the moon? Would a compass work on the moon, in space?

There is a good amount we don't know yet.

No. I don't think the moon has a magnetic core such as the earth does.

But we do know magnets :icon26:

Seriously though, there's ton of information explaining magnets down to the atomic level. Just search it up.
edit: If I remember correctly, I think it has something to do with the electron spins in magnetic materials, but I honestly could be pulling that out of nowhere..

May be but could a real good compass react to aim to the earth then?

I Have a lot of studying to do...ever since I am here… Electromagnetism and kinematics. Thermodynamics, Learning about the id and the strings thing, just to name a few.
Man, I didn’t know a forum mostly dedicate to gaming players would have teach me so much…Oh Yeah…Forgot… English.
Thanks my friends

Depends on what you want to get into further down the line. Different fields of science treat thermodynamics differently.
