I really enjoyed reading that...

But you only read it for the articles, right?

Well...

My kids could use a science lesson today. Maybe I'll have them prepare a summary

You spelled re-enter wrong

When one piece of metal thinks another piece of metal is really hot, it makes the moves.

Let's post pictures of magnets and then do a poll to determine which has the most magnetic strength

CDV

A metallic "hot or not" as it were. I think Jefe might disapprove.

All you need to know is these four things:

Magnetism is a property of all matter.

Pretty condescending to assume he knows what atoms are

StantonMac

No, that doesn't seem right. I am pretty sure only metals have magnetic pull.

CDV

There IS an attractive force between all objects. It's the reason you're stuck

Umm CDV does take his iron supplements, so he is made of metal.

Actually, most elements can be affected by magnetic fields (paramagnetism)

That’s both condescending and not helpful!

StantonMac

But why is it not helpful?

I'm no expert on this, but since nobody has offered an explanation, I'll give it
