Magnets still work in a vacuum, though...

@Drewski4343 Prove it

well, here's a video showing it
https://youtu.be/8nLd5q7UOyE

I don't think that's real

perpetual motion does not exist

note the *almost*

please don't troll here

I'm being quite serious - action at a distance was something Newton came up with to prop up with theory of gravity

It simply cannot be observed

so, you're choosing to not believe the video evidence?

prove me to me how we can have an atmosphere if there is space surrounding us

it defies common sense

air moves from high pressure to low pressure

we do not see that

now you're strawmanning.

No, that's literally what round earthers teach

that the earth maintains its atmosphere under high pressure

even though empty space surrounds it

So, we've moved from the topic I jumped in at of magnets working in vacuum to the plausibility of the earth's atmosphere.

well the vid obviosuly shows vertical levitation to a lower atmospheric pressure

so the top spins at a slightly lower pressure

then the air is removed, so conservation of angular momentum would keep it there

because energy would be destroyed if it fell down

and energy cannot be created or destroyed

It's not magnetism then

Something like this might explain how the Sun and Moon orbit the earth at constant altitude

*above

the earth

but did you say that the magnetic force vanishes at a lower atmospheric pressure?

maybe I misunderstood

what's keeping the magnet levitating if it's not magnetism anymore?

angular momentum conservation

the top is spinning

if it stopped spinning and dropped momentum conservation would be violated

The top spinning and it levitating are two different things. Its angular momentum of spin has nothing to do with how it levitates.

howdy

hello!

how are ya

good how you doing?

swell
