  1. First, thank you so much. I really appreciate this forum. I am an undergraduate focusing on the evolution of plants with an interest in chemical engineering, but I had to take physics and I took geology, I also love astronomy. I qualify for an AA in natural philosophy and almost for Engineering/tech - I just need a humanities class for the engineering degree. I can follow along so far, Studiot is a genius! Also thank you for the very cool, simple and step-by-step definition based explanation. 'Toroidal' is a great vocabularly word, points! I had to look that up, my math level is that I have taken two Calculus classes, up to that I have seen a differential equation and also evaluated series and functions with limits at infinity. So, studiot, I follow up to the last two parts - I don't understand how the electron orbitals cause magnetism. In looking up the topic, I found quantum electrodynamics, which I realize I have yet to work up to in courses - so I know there is a lot I don't know about that has been explained. I am interested in how the ferromagnetism occurs naturally, what makes this magnetic field? I think it is the electron motion. I realize connecting any of this to gravity is, by the common perspective today of mass/mass stuff, ridiculous, and Swansont has defended the establishment with vigorous debate. I am super interested in how spin, or uncancelled spin... makes magnetism? In reading about the Earth's magnetic field and its reversals, I came across research about the curie temperatures of titanomagnetite, how the three crystal structure variations each have a specific curie temperature. I took this as data to support the idea that electron motion, or limitations of the cycling of confined electrons, as a system, like a crystal structure, would affect the magnetic field potential of the substance - as in a unique curie temperature. Did that make sense? Modred, thank you. This is so amazing, I don't know who to ask about these ideas - I like how you brought up iron. I am interested in studying the periodic table by atomic structure, to see why is iron so susceptible to generating or holding - a pattern of electron motion (i think) - that makes magnetic field force - or the titanomagnetite crystal structures - and why are other metals, like copper, more conductive of electric flow. I have tried to learn a little about electrons as a fluid but it is complicated. So back to atomic structure, and isotopes, I wonder if there is something about the electron configuration, or the most stable one (or the most relevantly common one, like in earth's core), of iron that allows for magnetism. Sorry, this is all over the place, points for Rowland, I will read more about him. Also, I have heard of the VSEPR theory of quantum orbitals, so that is just a little past Neils Bohr - I know also that he described the difficulty in ionizing the noble gases form a chemistry website with one of his papers, but I do not know much about his original thoughts of the atomic model because I only scanned his paper and I learned a different model, the VSEPR model. Organic chemistry would be my next chemistry class. Just to clarify - there are two ideas under discussion, magnetism related to gravity which has been set aside now to discuss magnetism and electrons or atomic/molecular structure. The gravity idea is far more risky as far as reputation, which I don't have anyways, than the idea about magnetism by electron motion -which maybe is already described? I recently had a flash of insight to think more about the kinetic energy of electrons as they orbit by thinking about their momentum, so it is super interesting that you brought up momentum of electrons, Swansont, but I don't understand what you meant.
  2. okay. I don't account for them, I'm asking to learn. I wonder what the average composition of such an asteroid is?
  3. A copper wire is made of matter sir. The current itself is made of matter, the only reason it "runs" is because of voltage drop which is induced, sure, but it happens in nature as lightning bolts. Magnetism occurs naturally too, as the mineral magnetite for example. So do you think there is some current going through a wire to make the Earth's magnetic field? How the magnetic field not an inherent property of the matter? Aren't electrons matter?
  4. Spin and dipole-dipole interactions may not be responsible for gravity, but they may not be directly relevant to magnetism either. Why do our solar system's solid bodies with relevant gravity have magnetic fields (omitting Venus)? Aren't magnetism and magnetic susceptibility inherent properties of matter, which has the mass? They are related by potential energy because mass has energy relevant to its inherent properties. [The potential for magnetism is related to energy which is related to mass which is related to gravity. ] why does mass attract mass? Do two marbles in space fall into orbit because of their mass? Why is some matter magnetic and other forms not so magnetic? It is interesting that the center of the planet is made of a large, magnetic form of matter.
