The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

"Magnetism warping space-time?"

Well, gravity certainly does. So the question may be paraphrased as, how does gravity relate to magnetism?

From physics.stackexchange.com:

physics.stackexchange.com - Does gravity affect magnetism vice versa or do they ignore each other

TL;DR: summary seems to be: "Magnetic effect on gravity: In technical terms: yes. For practical purposes: no."

But, the reason for "practical purposes being no" is the disparity in strengthen between magnetism and gravity: " This answer suggests that if you could somehow generate a magnetic field that was strong enough, you could create artificial gravity. That would have to be an unimaginably strong field to produce anything practical, however"

And so when you're talking about "the strongest magnetic fields in the universe", then, well, I guess, sounds good, maybe.
