    Understanding Static Magnetism: How Does it Work?

    So it's a "solenoidal" vector field, by the maxwell equations, this is twist and spin, but no divergence at any point in the field... A gradient that integrates to 0... But is not 0 itself... Bizarre concept... Interesting... Almost as if two opposing forces apply to every point...

    Understanding Static Magnetism: How Does it Work?

    Eisenstein is a typo, between me and my iPad I'm getting everything wrong! Lol... I suppose entropy is more like the ambient state of energy... Something like thermodynamics ... So that things tend toward the most abundant state of energy... None the less I am now officially off topic... Thanks...

    Understanding Static Magnetism: How Does it Work?

    Sorry, I just have a naive view, in that i just see things in terms of Newton's third law, objects travel along a straight line and everything that goes along with that, and Eisenstein's general relativity in which states that straight lines are not always straight in that a property of matter...

    Understanding Static Magnetism: How Does it Work?

    I suppose its pointless trying understand it by way of metaphor...

    Understanding Static Magnetism: How Does it Work?

    As in spin, does space have spin? Such that electrons tend to want to spin in the same direction? Or what you are saying is that the magnetic field is on top of and additional to space, like a membrane that exists in space?

    Understanding Static Magnetism: How Does it Work?

    Ok thanks, understood, I was just under the impression that force was transmitted only by way of particles. So does that mean that space has a moment? Such that the difference in the two moments, particle vs space, causes the magnetic force? Which suggests space has spin itself? Sorry if these...

    Understanding Static Magnetism: How Does it Work?

    Ok thank that makes it more clear, so in essence, it's a property of space time, if every point in space time has a magnetic vector associated with it, that sounds like extra dimensions in space time? So particles could be described in terms of position (and derived forms like speed...

    Understanding Static Magnetism: How Does it Work?

    Maybe a stupid question, but I'm trying to get my brain around the concept of magnetism, specifically for static magnets, not electromagnets. I understand that the magnetic field is a result of all the moments in the atoms being aligned. The spin of the electrons around the atoms is the current...
