What is magnetism and where does it come from?
Another unexplained mystery of physics is magnetism. We know a lot about its properties, and we even know how to create it. But, exactly what is it?
Here is the textbook definition.
[Magnetism is:
a physical phenomenon produced by the motion of electric charge, which results in attractive and repulsive forces between objects.]
That says a lot about magnetism as a phenomenon, but precious nothing about where it comes from. I find it very odd that the origin of two of the most important forces in the universe, in over three hundred years of physics, have never been addressed. This is perhaps because nobody has yet formulated a model of the universe that can logically account for their presence or origins. The Big Bang model certainly doesn't account for them. However, magnetism and gravity can both be accounted for when explained by the bubble universe model.
In the bubble model universe the presence of gravity is described as a function of the difference in vibrational states between its energy boundaries. Because the universe is spherical or toroidal in shape it needs to spin in order to maintain its form. This spin, in turn, creates a motion bias (direction) to all matter contained in it, and because the energy is carried by electrons, in the form of electricity, the electrons naturally seek the best conductors to act as their pathway.
The vibrational states create the up and 'down' while the directional motion polarises the directional flow of electrons. When these electrons encounter a good conductor, i.e. a metal, they are able to pass more freely through it, it passes through in the form of an electric charge. The charge, in turn, evokes a polarisation in the atomic alignment into the direction of the universe rotation. In some metals, like iron, the directional alignment sticks, (or takes longer to dissipate) and in other metals, like silver, the dissipation of alignment is virtually instantaneous, so the polar alignments do not stick. How long the polar alignment lasts probably relates to the metal's atomic number, making some materials more polar-friendly than others.
If the universe, as suggested by the bubble model, is shaped and connected by electricity, and not as commonly taught, by gravity, this would follow the big pattern nicely, since a planet with an iron core would gain a permanently replenished magnetic core, which, in turn, provides it with a more effective Meissner field to protect its surface from solar radiation, enhancing the potential to support biological life. Gas giant planets, like Jupiter, with an intense magnetic field would electrically interact with both with the sun's field and every other local magnetic body, to create a bigger Meissner field around the entire solar system, clearly defining a boundary for the planetary system, which is itself, a self-organising system, and interstellar space. The pattern seems to follow the general shape of the atom and its electron cloud, and is another example of the big pattern shaping the micro-world being reflected in the macro; a repeating pattern, that scales up or down, like fractals.
