B Question about magnetizing and the First law of Thermodynamics

AI Thread Summary
The discussion explores the relationship between magnetization and the First Law of Thermodynamics, specifically regarding the energy involved in creating magnets with a pea placed between them. When two pieces of iron or cobalt are magnetized, the energy exerted on the pea during this process raises questions about where that energy originates. After the magnets are formed, the distance between them decreases, resulting in a reduction of electromagnetic field energy in the surrounding space. This energy is theorized to be utilized in compressing the pea. Ultimately, the conversation highlights the interplay between mechanical power used in magnetization and the energy dynamics involved.

TL;DR Summary
If you make two magnets with a pea inbetween them so they squash the pea upon their creation where does the energy squashing the pea come from?
I've been learning a lot about life from Internet searches and I do hope this isn't too basic of a question for you gurus.
If I had two pieces of iron next to each other with a pea in-between and two pieces of cobalt with a pea in-between. Then I magnetized the four pieces of metal by brushing them with magnets so that the pea was pushed on by the created magnets. Could you use exactly the same mechanical power to make those magnets? If so would one pea have more energy exerted on it?

After the pea crash the two magnets are closer in distance so electromagnetic field energy in space is lessened. The pulled out energy was used to crash the pea.

Thread 'Is there a white hole inside every black hole?'
This is what I am thinking. How much feasible is it? There is a white hole inside every black hole The white hole spits mass/energy out continuously The mass/energy that is spit out of a white hole drops back into it eventually. This is because of extreme space time curvature around the white hole Ironically this extreme space time curvature of the space around a white hole is caused by the huge mass/energy packed in the white hole Because of continuously spitting mass/energy which keeps...
Why do two separately floating objects in a liquid "attract" each other ?? What if gravity is an emergent property like surface tension ? What if they both are essentially trying to *minimize disorder at the interfaces — where non-aligned polarized particles are forced to mix with each other* What if gravity is an emergent property that is trying to optimize the entropy emerging out of spin aligned quantum bits
