Capslock Science: Magnets edition

[foxfirefey]

JUST SAW "HOW ITS MADE" ON MAGNETS. THAT SHIT IS FOR REAL. I THOUGHT MAGNETS JUST SORT OF EXISTED.

THEY DON'T.

THESE FUCKING WIZARDS MAKE THEM OUT OF MAGIC SAND MOLDS AND MOLTEN METAL THAT BURNS THE MOLDS FROM THE INSIDE OUT AND THEN THEY BASH THEM WITH SLEDGEHAMMERS AND PACK THEM IN MORE SAND AND HEAT THEM TO FUCK KNOWS HOW HIGH AND THEN CHARGE THEM WITH ELECTRICITY.

BASICALLY, SUPERCONDUCTORS ARE SUCH STONE-COLD (LIQUID NITROGEN COLD, BITCHES, AND THAT'S THE NICE ONE OF THE FAMILY) BADASSES THAT WHEN THEY ENCOUNTER A MAGNETIC FIELD, THEY'RE ALL LIKE, "DID I SAY YOU COULD TOUCH ME, BITCH? NO, I FUCKING WELL DID NOT," AND THE LINES OF MAGNETIC FORCE ARE ALL LIKE, "OH SHIIIIIIIIIITTTT" AND AVOID THAT MOTHERFUCKER. EXCEPT THEY CAN'T GO TOO FAR AWAY, SO THEY SORT OF DIVERT AROUND THE SUPERCONDUCTER AND HOLD IT ALOFT LIKE THE GODDAMN KING OF PHYSICAL LAW THAT IT IS. SUPERCONDUCTER GOES WHERE IT WANTS (GIVEN IMPETUS BY AN OUTSIDE FORCE, BECAUSE IT HAS MINIONS FOR THAT, BITCHES). PHYSICISTS HAVE BEEN BEATING THEIR BRAINS OUT TRYING TO EXPLAIN THE GODDAMN MEISSNER EFFECT FOR ALMOST 80 FUCKING YEARS. THAT'S HOW BADASS THE MEISSNER EFFECT IS.
