Magnetism

Magnetism is facilitated by virtual photons which have a corkscrew shape. This is different from photons which are flat and therefore can only have a wave-shape.

Space is full of virtual photons that travel in straight lines.

Magnets have channels that allow them to pass through.

However, because of their immense number, they cause a traffic jam at the poles.

This causes the exiting particles to go around where they are funneled back into where they entered.

This flow is called the magnetic field.

Metals that have channels that fall within this field will be pushed by the virtual photons towards the magnet in order to relieve the traffic jam, only to create a new one.

The more metals are added, the less straight the channels become.

This reduces the power of the magnet.

Superconductors solve this by having very straight channels.

Repulsion happens when the channels are opposed to each other
