Isn't it an amazing thing? What about repellant magnetism (or whatever it's called) That two objects can be pushed apart by an unseen, unsensed force. I had two speaker cones in my hands the other day. Both with strong magnetic coils pushing the other away.

Amazing to just dwell on it on a primal level. I mean we can all take it for granted. Magnets are everywhere. On a fridge. But what a concept! The only way to know about magnetism is through it's effect. It cannot be seen or sensed with the natural senses we've been given.

Oh wow.... on a completely different note, I have my blinds wide open, and before me is the most amazing sunset. Pastel pinks and purples. Beautiful.

Anyhow have a great Sunday (or Monday if you're in Australasia) Don't mind me. Carry on.. [img]smile.gif[/img]
