Magnets, how do they work?

"Magnets, how do they work?"

Pretty well!

"The laboratory of Enrique del Barco, Ph.D., and collaborators at the University of California, the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, the Norwegian University of Science and Technology and the Chinese Northeastern University..."

I bet that we and the Norwegians are paying for most of this and doing most of the research but the Chinese will steal it all.

Research cooperation with China has to stop immediately.

“Magnets, how do they work?”

Einstein told the story of his receiving a compass from his father. He could not get over his fascination that some magical Force was able to get through the case to the needle.

As an adult he reflected back; something is strange only if we are not familiar with.

We grow up with many things that we cannot explain but because they are familiar they are not strange. (leading to his thoughts on gravity).

They are attractive.

re: “Today’s computers rely on ferromagnets (the same kind that stick to your refrigerator) to align the binary 1s and 0s that process and store information. “

Core (magnetic) memory, so, 1950’s ....

Ping to Magnet discovery.

Now maybe we can anti gravity propulsion. I’d slap on a belt and float above the bilabong fishing for salmon.

They can also be very repulsive.

Magnet research is not very attractive

[Maceman]

I suggest that we just dig up the Founding Fathers, wrap their corpses in copper wire and surround them with magnets.

The amount of electricity they produce by their constant and rapid spinning in their graves will provide all the electricity that 21st century societies will ever need.

I wonder if they realize we don't use magnetic memory anymore?

[PapaBear3625]

I wonder if they realize we don't use magnetic memory anymore?

We're going back. Google "magnetic semiconductor".

[bert]

magnets use flux

[Bitman]

I must be getting old as I remember when 1 millisecond access to a ferite core was considered fast.
