The mighty, mighty atom.

Like an ant walking along a lily pad, completely unaware of the deep waters lying just beneath the visible surface, we could be floating within a grand, expansive, higher-dimensional space, as in Figure 13.3b, but the electromagnetic force – eternally trapped within our dimensions – would be unable to reveal this.

Thank you, tumblr user @evilwizard , for the absolutely correct clarification on the fact that, for chemistry and molecular bonds, gravity doesn't do fuck-all.

If you hadn't said it, i would have.

how fucked up would the spell "liquify calcium" be. honestly

The natural webbing is really cool, ngl. But how do you explain sticking to things if not by finger hairs? Some kind of molecular force? Psht.

I actually just stick to walls with sheer will power.

When listening to the lightning storms in your area on a standard AM radio, you will hear a sound like bacon frying and this is the electromagnetic energy that the storm is generating. Plants react to this energy and may show vigorous growth during lightning seasons.

Context matters, people!

If anything, Eldest Girl should be concerned about matching Gerri’s freak.

(Seriously, though, for someone as smart and generally risk-avoidant as Gerr-bear to be engaging in psychological kink play with her boss’ notorious little weirdo of a son? When that boss is Logan, and they both work so closely with him?

There’s gotta be a strong pull there.

Like, the force that holds the nuclei of atoms together is, according to West Texas A&M University, the strongest force in the universe.

But that’s just because the theoretical physicists weren’t in the room to observe whatever horny freak-drive overtook Gerri when she decided to start talking off Roman instead of sending him back to his own room.)

having a lot of fun reading generation x and x-force rn but magneto war just happened and we aren't talking about genosha can we talk about genosha pleaseeeeeee

Since gravity is an extremely weak force* and since, it turns out, the longer the string the stronger the force transmitted, Schwarz and Scherk found that strings needed to be extremely tiny to transmit a force with gravity's feeble strength; they needed to be about the Planck length in size, a hundred billion billion times smaller than previously envisioned. So small, doubters wryly notes, that there was no equipment that would be able to see them, which meant that the theory could not be tested experimentally.¹⁰

* Remember, as noted in Chapter 9, even a puny manner can overpower the pull of the entire earth's gravity and pick up a paper clip. Numerically, the gravitational force has about 10^-42 times the strength of the electromagnetic force.

10. Indeed, the difficulty of designing experimental tests for superstring theory has been a crucial stumbling block, one that has substantially hindered the theory's acceptance. However, as we will see in later chapters, there has been much progress in this direction; string theorists have high hopes that upcoming accelerator and space-based experiments will provide at least circumstantial evidence in support of the theory, and with luck, maybe even more.

Turns out, you CAN learn how Force pull your tools from across the room!

That is, as long as your tools are made of metal, you keep a VERY powerful electromagnet nearby, and your reflexes are quick enough for you to dodge a wrench flying at your head when you turn said electromagnet on.

Take THAT, midichlorians!.

Smh the strong and weak nuclear force don't make it but electromagnetism makes it twice? Blatant macro scale favoritism.

What Are Magnetic Lifting Systems

What Are Magnetic Lifting Systems Weighty steel parts, metallurgical components, scrap metal… For most lifting magnets, this type of load is too much to handle. Large magnetic lifting systems save the day and efficiate processes in production facilities, warehouses, and scrap yards. What benefits do they bring? Magnetic lifting systems consist of multiple electropermanent magnets or…
