Richard Feynman explains magnets, sort of

Feb 3, ’10 7:52 AM

I really can’t do a good job, any job, of explaining magnetic force in terms of something else you’re more familiar with, because I don’t understand it in terms of anything else you’re more familiar with.

This is why science is so maddening for some and so great for others.
