/sci/ - Science & Math

Hey guys, I've been wondering about this for a few months I guess; the only answers I get when I search google are metaphysical and vague, so I'm hoping you can give me some better understanding of this phenomenon.

Hold your hands a few inches apart from each other, then pretend there's an invisible ball and slowly roll it around between your two palms. Alternatively, slowly bring your hands back forth from each other. Eventually you'll start to feel something that I can only describe as magnetic repulsion between the two hands.

If someone could tell me why this happens I'd be grateful.
