The Magnetic Field

As we have already seen with ferrofluids, magnetic fields fan out to the side. Outgoing photons allow incoming photons to come in between them. To do this, the outgoing photons have to yield to the incoming ones.

If we place a bar magnet under a sheet of paper, and sprinkle iron filings on top of it, we can see that this fanning out continues in all directions so that we get a pattern that connects the north pole to the south pole.

This is sometimes interpreted as some kind of overall flow between the poles. However, polarized photons stream out from the north and the south pole of magnets in equal measure. There is no overall flow. All that is happening is that the polarized photons arrange themselves in the most efficient manner possible. Magnets polarize photons which in turn polarize all photons in the entire space around the magnet.

If two magnets are placed so that their north poles or south poles face each other, polarized photons from the magnets will meet head on in a non-reactive collision. Since the colliding orbs are of the same charge, there is no latching onto each other. There are no hard turns, so the photons will tend to stay in the field. The result is over-pressure and hence repulsion between the poles.

Photons do not react with each other, so they stay in the field and produce over-pressure.

Conversely, if a north pole is facing a south pole, the polarized photons will collide with hooks against hoops. The collisions will be abrasive. The photons will latch onto each other. They will make a hard turn and exit the field. There will be under-pressure and therefore attraction between the magnets.

Photons react to each other, so they exit the field and produce under-pressure.

This is identical to how neutrinos produce over-pressure and under-pressure through collisions with each other. The magnetic force is communicated by photons in the exact same way that the electric force is communicated by neutrinos.

From this it follows that the magnetic force is just as dependent on the availability of photons as the electric force is dependent on neutrinos.

The magnetic force is therefore just as unlikely as the electric force to be constant throughout space and time. The strength of a magnetic force does not depends solely on the strength of the magnet. It depends just as much on much on the availability of photons.

Finally, it should be noted that the fact that magnets polarize photons in their vicinity, including visible light has been known since Victorian times. Polarization of light in the presence of a magnet was first observed by Michael Faraday in 1845, and is today known as the Faraday effect. However, the effect has been largely misinterpreted as merely one of many properties of magnetic fields. But polarized light is not merely an effect of magnetism. Polarized light is magnetism.
