omg.....look at this video...........Lock wins !

[LOCKSUIT]

Anybody have a camera and a strong magnet to prove the styrofoam wasn't the trick in the video?

[Korrelan]

Boggles it does...

Did you notice him switch the poles around on the magnet lock... perhaps that's a even newer/ better discovery... wood/ plastic has a north and a south pole... cool... world changing stuff.

 

[LOCKSUIT]

Are you being funny or serious, really? I'll rewatch it closely but it seemed both sides pushed it on the new angle to the left

Here's some more reading for you Lock: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamagnetism

Diamagnetism was first discovered when Sebald Justinus Brugmans observed in 1778 that bismuth and antimony were repelled by magnetic fields. In 1845, Michael Faraday demonstrated that it was a property of matter and concluded that every material responded (in either a diamagnetic or paramagnetic way) to an applied magnetic field.

I apologise, I was being a little sarcastic, I couldn't resist, it's a well studied property of matter, (As Freddy pointed out)

 

[Freddy]

Yes I pointed it out, but I was not fully aware of what was going on. I first assumed it was trace metals causing it along with the super strong magnets on a low friction solution - water I think they call it.

So yup I learnt something today. Thanks Lock

Ok I tried it for 40 minutes. . .

Works. Barely observable results, but I tried it so many times from the edges etc that it was not like my fingers, not the wind....so it was the magnet..

Took forever to get the baggy i cut to stand up on a piece of paper, thin, and filled with water, light enough for my tiny nyodiamye magnet.....now i have to worry if it was the baggy that was electromagnetic nooooo

baggy was a plastic baggy....those stick darn it....

Remember physics experiments from high school? We can charge even a baloon with electrostatic something by friction. And then it moves toward other, uncharged object. Then hair also, when we brush it... It follows the plastic brush after, floating in the air.

A lot of paper currency can be affected by a magnet. It is more than likely a property of the ink(s) used in the manufacture of the bills. Hold a bill so that it hangs down between the fingers, then move a strong magnet toward the paper and watch what happens.

Yet thermal temperature greatly affects magnets. When I used to make knives I would always tell when the steel was heated to the proper temperature when a magnet would no longer stick to it. Hmm...strange but true. 

Then there are magnetic Trains like the Mag-Lev which hovers above and is propelled along the row of magnets alternating their flow. It's a frictionless ride that goes very fast...thanks again, to magnets.

There is also the Rail Gun which works a bit similar to the train but on a much smaller and way more deadly scale shooting a tiny projectile at blinding speeds.

Ah yes...magnets...stick with them!

A small toy home experiment would be one that is simple and shows barely (but just only enough!) effect/proof of the effect we need to see. We could buy a huge neodymium magnet, and put it near a super tiny shell of water hanging by a string attached to a small water boat above it or something with low friction, and super-cool the shell of water using liquid nitrogen. We would then look for the shell to first move when near the magnet, once we see this, we can try the liquid nitrogen. When we try the liquid nitrogen, we would look to see if the shell of water resists us blowing at it, or something, and then compare this to the shell of water at room temperature with no magnet so to check if we were 'locking' it in place just a bit. With enough effort, time, and money, this should be EASY to experiment and get results, I simply am too busy with AI.

[LOCKSUIT]

My next question would be, a supercooled magnet stays lock in relative to the magnet near it, but does this simply hold the magnet from outside, or does it really indeed hold each atom basically? If the latter, then it slows ageing. I know magnets penetrate but they seem to show the field expelling out and locked, could be possible it leaves the inside alone hmm...

[HS]

If the latter, then it slows ageing.

Being frozen at liquid nitrogen temps does that too...  Need room temp superconductors.

When I used to make knives

What kind of knives? Cool ones??

[goaty]

But... Why do we age in the first place.  How come we can produce generations and generations of offspring.

We age as a unit,  but not a population, and my conjecture, is these two phrases don't make sense in a row. And its a common logic.  I wonder if my beloved Alan Watts knew this trick.

@goaty cus there's something in the cell that STAYS repaired, the DNA! So maybe for any cell you can restart the cells. You need to clean out the old, add the new, and change some things.
