We know that light travels through the vacuum of space because it is a self perpetuating system of electronic and magnetic waves.
Since this is the case, why do we not see the magnetic wave of light move magnets, or even make a magnet vibrate?
Is it simply because the magnitude of the magnetic wave does not exert enough force to move magnets?
If so can we not create an E&M wave with a large enough magnitude to move magnets?
OR can we create a magnet small enough to be moved by a magnetic wave?
Any insight into this topic would be helpful
Thanks
