Magnetism is everywhere, but what is it really? In this slow, relaxing journey, we explore the strange history and science of magnetism — from ancient lodestones and the first compasses to Ørsted, Ampère, Faraday, Maxwell, electromagnetic waves, electron spin, and Einstein’s relativity.
Along the way, we’ll see how magnetism powers motors and generators, helps protect Earth from the solar wind, and quietly works inside technologies we use every day. A calm exploration of one of physics’ most fascinating invisible forces, designed to help you learn while you relax or fall asleep.
