Just watching new episode tonight, when talking about tonight’s “Word” he was listing reasons to go to church and when he brought up answering life’s greatest questions the side screen read “f**ckin magnets, how do they work” I started crackin up instantly 

yawn.

My wife took on the whole “How magnets work” when she took Advanced Electromagnetic Fields in college. It seems we can describe all of the effects of magnets and we know why those effect result from certain material arrangements BUT we do not know how the effect of magnetism manifested as what it is and not some other type of effect.  In fact, even at the forefront of physics, we can only describe the observable effects of anything and not how or why that particular effect exhibits the properties it has. This is at the fundamental level. If you accept the fundamentals “as is” then you can go on to say how magnets work but you are basing that on fundamentals that still have not been defined in the sense of “Why does that fundamental force result in this particular effect and not some other effect instead?”

So people who claim to “know” how magnets work are really only telling you that they have the ability to describe it’s effects. If you keep pushing them on the “Why” then it becomes clear that they are as clueless as we (juggalos) are about magnets.

A good explanation of magnets is this video from YouTube – Here. But if you go to 1:47 in the video he says that in the end while they can explain all the effects of magnets, NO ONE KNOWS why at the fundamental level they have the properties they do.

So Shaggy is really smart in questioning magnets and any scientist that claims to know is lying to themselves.
