 wj25czxj47bu6q (A) | aaaaa I can't think anymore | 01:21:23 |
| wj25czxj47bu6q (A) | My physics is too rusty | 01:21:32 |

Magnetic force is a function of radial distance A radius is 1d btw | 01:22:05 |
| idkrn | The magnet will not pull something in a circle | 01:22:43 |

A radius is 1d btw Technically yes, but it's a 3-dimensional vector | 01:23:08 |
| idkrn | Ok but it could also be a 5d vector if the rest of the vector was 0s | 01:23:46 |
| idkrn | It's just a line | 01:23:56 |
| idkrn | A line can exist in any space | 01:24:05 |
| idkrn | That doesn't change how many dimensions it has | 01:24:13 |
| wj25czxj47bu6q (A) | It's a 3-dimensional vector in this context because our world is 3-dimensional | 01:24:23 |
| wj25czxj47bu6q (A) | You can move your body in 3 dimensions | 01:24:36 |

It's a 3-dimensional vector in this context because our world is 3-dimensional The force still acts between 2 points | 01:24:48 |

The force still acts between 2 points Yes, the quantity that matters is the length of the radius vector | 01:25:10 |
| wj25czxj47bu6q (A) | In reply to @idkrn:envs.net
The force still acts between 2 points * Yes, the quantity that matters is the magnitude of the radius vector | 01:25:17 |
| wj25czxj47bu6q (A) | * Yes, the quantity that matters is the magnitude (length) of the radius vector | 01:25:33 |
| idkrn | The vector field is a bunch of 1d vectors plotted | 01:25:46 |
| idkrn | They're all still 1d vectors | 01:25:53 |
| idkrn | It doesn't matter how many dimensions it passes through | 01:26:06 |
| wj25czxj47bu6q (A) | The magnetic field is a 3D vector field | 01:26:12 |
| idkrn | A line is always 1 dimensional | 01:26:13 |
| wj25czxj47bu6q (A) | Redacted or Malformed Event | 01:26:36 |
| idkrn | What | 01:27:11 |
 Krzysztof | MSPaint to the rescue... | 01:27:28 |
| Krzysztof | 
Download magnets.png | 01:27:34 |
| Krzysztof | this will still mostly work | 01:27:48 |
| Krzysztof | magnets are doing most of the work here | 01:27:52 |
| Krzysztof | friction helps, but not much | 01:27:55 |
| Krzysztof | I'm still pretty sure I'm right | 01:28:16 |
| Krzysztof | The lateral force slides the magnets apart... magnets don't like being apart
hence
magnets (mostly) stop the wallet from sliding laterally | 01:29:09 |
