Whenever I think about magnets I remember this Feynman interview where someone asks him why magnets behave the way they do, and he says that to answer a “why"-question you need a foundation where something is agreed to be true, and it seems like for electromagnetic forces we end up in " because that’s how the universe is apparently”.

I guess those spinning magnetic pills one puts in beakers over a magnetic hot plate in chemistry labs are all an empirical hoax then.
SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
Those are stir bars.
That they’re magnetic is propaganda to push magnetic field bunk to sell more so-called “magnets”. Stir bars are moved by phlogiston, which is why the liquid medium is often heated in tandem.

They’re my fave bit of lab equipment. That and the Vortex because I must touch it.
Alvaro@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
They are protected by the PTFE cover, so the magnet is not in contact with water. Basic chemistry…

I always wanted kitchen cookware with a stirring pill. But it would require using glass or ceramic cookware on the stove. Which can be done to some extent but still feels sketchier than metal.

It isn’t just that Trump is a dumbass, being uneducated and “stupid” aren’t what makes Trump worthy of hatred and endless namecalling.
It is the complete lack of curiosity people like Trump have that I despise more than ignorance, it is violently antithetical to the basic reasons I love science and the pursuit of understanding the world. I am curious, I ask questions I don’t just accept shit that people say because they say it a lot. Trump hates people like me because we can walk all over him on basically any topic, and I hate people like Trump not because they don’t know anything but because they do not desire to have to know anything at all but what they want.

I wonder if we could engineer some material that does fulfill his spec. Magnetic in air, loses magnetic properties underwater, regains them when out of the water…
echodot@feddit.uk 2 months ago
An electromagnet with no waterproofing. Stick it in water, it shorts out, once it dries out it starts working again.
arcine@jlai.lu 2 months ago
That’s fine but it would be better if a partially submerged device also functioned partially. And I said material specifically because it’s lame if it needs power.

Quibblekrust@thelemmy.club 2 months ago
At best you’re preaching to the chior. At worst you’re wrong and it’s not A.I., and you just look foolish. Your comment is a waste of bandwith either way. I’m tired of literally every thread having someone yelling “slop” in it.
Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 2 months ago
And I’m tired of the fucking slop. Not posting slop is how you avoid unnecessary bandwidth.

is that true? Do magnets not work underwater

Well, electromagnets don’t work when they short-circuit in water…
prenatal_confusion@feddit.org 2 months ago
He is stupid, yes. But I think he might have been talking about electro magnets that get damaged when not properly protected. It is about the aircraft carrier that used it as a new launch system. Water, saltwater at that and there were some problems reported. I am sure the engineers are smart but a new system always has problems. Orange brain goes “bad tech” orange mouth goes “blaaargh”.
Nalivai@lemmy.world 2 months ago
You’re doing the same bullshit that a bunch of idiots did all over media for years, when you hear trump or his ilk talking shit out of their ass, you immediately go “but if there was a sane normal person there what could they say”, and report on that, and this makes it as if there was a normal person there talking. It’s a sanewashing and it is a problem.
Johanno@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
Yes of course. That is the reason why you can put magnets under your foreskin under water and have nothing to fear under water, like getting hurt when metal comes nearby /s

i wonder if his dimwitted supporters actually understand or trying to decipher what hes saying or they just like hearing him talk as background noise to affirm thier beliefs.
1984@lemmy.today 2 months ago
If you actually look at the pattern, you will see it used everywhere. He is using the same words all the time.
It’s a kind of rambling that people recognize now, and you could have a stranger guess that it was Donald Trump who said this just from the semantics of the words.
At this point I know what he is going to say before he says it. :)
jdr@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
He said he would drop the glass on the magnets, not put them underwater. You can demagnetize a permanent magnet by violently striking in the absence of a background field.
I’m not saying he’s good, but I don’t think he’s entirely wrong.
marcos@lemmy.world 2 months ago
He was talking about electromagnets at sea ships… Because the sea-water would short them.
But then, it’s almost as stupid as the short version.

And just in case anyone thinks that’s AI, ABC News vetted it as being true here (in the body, not the video). I know why voting records can’t be public, but I simultaneously wish they had to be too. As an appropriately-colored scarlet letter.
Eldritch@piefed.world 2 months ago
When ever you think something sounds too stupid even for trump. No you didn’t.
His stupidity is his defining characteristic among his voters. For the wealthy and powerful, he’s an easily manipulable rube. For the poor saps he says the same stupid things they think and say. He’s just like them, so relatable!

It sounds shocking until you remember Americans are dumb as shit. I have to keep reminding myself of this to make any sense of the absolute dystopian nightmare that somehow they support.
