The Amazing Use of a Magnet

The earliest record of magnets was in 600BC when Greek philosopher Thales of Miletus used the term ‘lodestone’, which refers to a naturally occurring magnet. However, according to Greek mythology, magnetism was first discovered around 4000 years ago by a shepherd named Magnes, whose shoe nail got stuck to a magnetite rock.
Sharks have sensory pores on their heads that helps them detect lunch. By attaching magnets to fishing nets sharks are thrown off, repelling them from snacks already caught in the net. A magnetic window cleaner is a two-part tool that magnetically clamps on each side of windowpane. Magnets are used to increase oxygen in the blood and reduce blood pressure They are also used to clean up oil spills, and during MRI's, you can also find them in a paper clip. In TMS, it is used to fight depression. It acts as an electronic woodpecker to help fight depression. Magnetic Silly Putty is used to test underwater pipes and structures for damage. It has also been used in vending machines. Even dogs, like other animals, are affected by the Earth’s magnetic field and often choose to poop on the north-south axis. So, there you go, magnets of every kind. Drawing us to the conclusion that we need magnets in our lives. Including the magnetic force of spirituality, passion and love to say the least.
