Just a little article I found interesting and I hope others do too.

So often the answer to something is right under our nose, but we are so used to our normal concept that we don't see the wood for the trees! (Enuff' metaphors!)

Thank you for that! I've printed it off to show my son, who is entering his final year at uni studying physics. His final year project is in magentism which at this moment he is trying to learn as much of as he can...

I wish that I understood magnetism. I feel its part of the building blocks of life.
