This is an iron bar, full of atoms...

After 1 day, the same atoms will be in the iron bar?
Will they change places?

After 1 week, the same atoms will be there, in the same place?

And after 1 year?

After a year, all those atoms will be in the brain of that anon obssessed with brain chelation.

Seriously wtf happened to this board? Posters here used to pretend to be retarded as a troll, but now they're all actually retarded. There's a thread with 65 replies attempting to explain how magnetism works....and every single post failed to do it. Where have the smart anons gone?

yes, you can image them with an electron microscope

the relative position of all the atoms in the bar does not change unless you take a fucking hammer it.

>> No.14619014

it does, but very little

>> No.14619016

>>14619014
no, it really doesnt. you realize the atoms are locked in crystal lattices...because iron is a metal...right?

they are, but that doesn't mean they don't move at all, you're either underestimating just how many of them are there or else how chaotic such lattices are

But electrons aren't locked, and if some foreign molecule were to touch the border with its negatively charged ass...

Does thermal expansion not disturb the atoms at all? Radioactivity, cosmic rays, any stray magnetic field near the iron bar?

A numerically huge number of atoms would have been fucked by quantum shenanigans but it won't even register percentage-wise

yes, anon. thermal strain can move the atoms in the bar. but given "nice" conditions these atoms do not stray from their spot in the crystal lattice in their grain, and the grains return to their original position at the end of the heat/cool cycle.
supposing the iron was warm enough to literally bend under its own weight and buckle slightly, the grains would be permanently, PLASTICALLY, deformed from where they began.
magnetic fields do very little to the atoms.

It could have some iron oxide. It's called rust

>> No.14619675

>>14619144
nah, there's "plenty" of plastic deformation from even the smallest of forces

macroscopically negligible, but we're talking about individual atoms here
