r/Magnets

Magnets. No one knows how they work. We just know that they work

Magnet stick to fridge. How? Idfk magic? 4th dimensional physics beyond our understanding? How does the magnet stick to my fridge? Does the magnet transcend time? Is the magnet supreme ruler of the earth? Does the magnet rule the space time continuum? How the hell does it stick to my fridge? Does the magnet secretly have a soul trapped inside it that powers its magnetic abilities? HOW THE F*** IS IT STICKING TO MY FRIDGE?!?!?!

When I put an unopened pack of magnets under the thin metal shelf at the Fred Meyer store and another on top the shelf directly above it, sometimes when I move the bottom one, the top one moves slightly with it, and other times not at all, despite the same movements/location. Why?

what kind of magnets should I buy to hold lenses to my glasses?

I have a thin strip of metal on the ridge of my glasses (2mm wide) and I want to buy some thin black magnetic strips to glue to sunglasses lenses so I can clip them on when I need them instead of buying prescription sunglasses. I'm looking for something thin and strong enough to hold them in place and not so thick to hinder my vision. what would be the best strip to buy? If I buy the kind that can be cut with a scissors will they be strong enough to hold

Tesla coil shooting electricity down pyramid prism to layer of magnets below

I layered 3 rows of 16 magnets (cube, sphere, cube) and placed a pyramid prism on top. Then held a Tesla coil over the top to simulate what electricity striking the top of a pyramid may look like.

Cool visuals

Edit: glad people think this is cool, anyone have any ideas what else to try?
