/sci/ - Science & Math

nobody knows how or why magnets work, they don't even have instruments which can accurately quantify the energy involved yet, so i can't help you on the magnetic half of "magnetic flux", but flux is the amount of energy passing through a surface per unit time.

can magnets bend light?

OP here, pretty funny that nobody on /sci/ has any idea whats going on in the pic or why, must be meme magic.

i got no goddamned clue

nobody knows, they just work.

Fckn environment, how does it werk?

Isn't this just the plot to the Iron Man song?

The movement

I can't find an answer for this anywhere on Google!
I found this magnetic bar at work, and when I put a neodymium magnet up to it, it repels like a regular magnet. But when I force the two similar poles together and it gets close, it no longer repels and they stick together. What is going on?

Alright can someone explain to me why two pivoted magnets next to each other is not used to create energy? I mean fuck, you can have it churn a stick connected to a cog and use friction electricity shit like in those power bikes. The magnets don't spin fast enough or what? Plus I don't understand why this isn't perpetual motion. Like I get if the magnetic fields decrease overtime but that's not related to the energy of the system right? Like the shit used in order to create power decays over time but like for a realistic amount of time, why isn't this shit utilized?
