What Determines the Speed of Magnetism?

In summary, magnetism remains a mystery due to the inability to locate its source, the magnetic monopoles. It is believed that understanding magnetism may unlock the concept of perpetual motion, as the magnetic field is constantly in motion. The strength of the field is determined by the speed of the field, which is related to the speed of light. Matter and magnetism are intertwined, as a lack of magnetic dipole moment results in the non-existence of matter. Beauty and magnetism are also linked, with a higher level of magnetism resulting in increased charm and longevity. Symmetry is highly valued in physics, with perfect symmetry being the ultimate goal. The universe follows the laws of asymmetry and broken symmetry is prevalent in the quantum realm

Magnetism is still a big mystery. This is due to the fact that the source of it cannot be found, the magnetic monopoles.

It can be theorized that magnetism is the key to understanding the concept of perpetual motion. It seems that the magnetic field is always in motion. This motion is nonstoppable. It detection can be seen by the presence of charged particles in the field. But how fast is the field moving can only be guessed. The strength of the field is determined by the radius of spiral of the charged particles moving along the field lines of force. If the speed of the field is directly proportional to the speed of the field, then when the radius of the spiral is almost zero, the field is moving at near maximum speed. Is this the speed of light?

The existence of matter seems to be tied to the existence of magnetism inside matter. So we can say that if there is no magnetic dipole moment inside matter then matter cannot comes into existence.

It has been said that beauty is magnetism. The more magnetic a person is the more beautiful and charming this person becomes.

If a person becomes 100% magnetic then this person lives forever, becoming a perpetual motion person.

Further, beauty and magnetism are both related to concept of symmetry. The idealization of a perfect symmetry is the ultimate goal of any physical theory. In Einstein's own words, he would call this perfect symmetry as simplicity.

The working universe seems to be ruled by laws of asymmetry. The more asymmetry the more complicated the law becomes. And broken symmetry seems to rule the domain of the quantum. But on the large the universe appears isotropic and homogeneous.

But an electric person is the one that can do the actions of creativity. So electricity is related to creativity.

A person that is 100% electric can in reality create the entire universe.
 

1. What is magnetism?

Magnetism is a physical phenomenon that describes the attraction or repulsion between objects due to their magnetic fields.

2. What causes magnetism?

Magnetism is caused by the alignment and movement of electrically charged particles, specifically electrons, within a material.

3. How do magnets work?

Magnets work by exerting a magnetic field, which can attract or repel other objects with magnetic properties. This is due to the alignment of the magnetic domains within the magnet.

4. Can magnets lose their magnetism?

Yes, magnets can lose their magnetism over time or if they are exposed to certain conditions such as high temperatures or strong magnetic fields.

5. What is the difference between permanent magnets and electromagnets?

Permanent magnets are made of materials that have their own magnetic field and do not require an external source of electricity to maintain their magnetism. Electromagnets, on the other hand, are made by passing an electrical current through a coil of wire and can be turned on or off depending on the flow of electricity.
