Should have gone to your physics class about 60 years ago. 😉.... 😀

If you ever find out, tell me first.
I will either cut you in (or cut you up - insert evil laugh).

The whole idea of electrons and atoms is essentially the same as the planets around the Sun, they can revolve on their own axis as well as spin around the Sun.
The question is how does the Moon not crash into the Earth or the Sun? (I am not accepting any jibber jabber for my over simplification of the subject, this is the general forum - and I don't acknowledge the word Gravity as anything other than an answer for "I don't know"😉.

It's easy; magnets are possessed.

Actually it's not the elctrons spin that causes (phenomological) magnetism, but the coupling of spin and orbital spin, so that only lone electrons in very asymmetrical orbits contribute to ferrimagnetism.

But in the boing boing, they are clearly talking about another class of magnet altogether, that of the REPRODUCING magnet. Apperently magnets have sex which they referred to several times so there must be another overriding theory to cover reproducing magnets.

Our entire perception of our lives, the world and the universe is nothing but a hypothesis.

only in Britain, where they habitually drop the H...

last I checked, H is not a vowel.

and don't give me this "but it's silent" bullcrap.

just sayin'

Hmmmm. Last I checked (looked at my passport and SIN card) I'm a Canuck not a Brit. Silent, schmilent, "an" just sounds right. Let's see (hear)..." Humans are a hypothesis"....nope just doesn't sound right. Nah, it's not even close.

It's a hypothesis. The word doesn't start with either a vowel or the pronunciation of one.

I've been committing sins all these years and you can get a card for that? Cool.
