ha magnets they're not just for
decorating the fridge they're hiding
everywhere the earphones you're wearing
right now the computer or phone you're
watching this video on there's a big one
right under your feet at this very
moment when place they aren't hiding or
at least shouldn't be is your belly so
what would happen if you swallowed one
would you become a walking magnet
yourself or would you just become more
attractive excuse me
Steve from legal here with a short but
crucial disclaimer please do not ever
try to swallow a magnet in real life
this is very hazardous to your health
and we require immediate medical
attention thank you for listening
well sorry about that Steve is very
careful of course you shouldn't swallow
a magnet in hopes of gaining some
superpowers but let's just go on a crazy
hypothetical journey I know Steve calm
down you're not responsible for any of
my fantastical wonderings but let me
have a little fun will you so you've
swallowed a special magnetic capsule
that only exists in my story gulp it
enters your stomach and endowed you with
magnetic properties you immediately run
to the fridge to check the results you
take a souvenir magnet and try to stick
it to yourself it repels oops wrong side
you know when the same sides of two
magnets are pressed against each other
then magnetic resistance appears you
flip the magnet around and ding it
sticks strange feeling kind of cold and
now it looks like your belly button is
sending you greetings from Niagara Falls
you giggle ok that's enough you put it
back on the fridge you remember that
trip to Niagara Falls last summer and
staying in a hotel now you wouldn't even
need a key card you could just wave your
hand over the lock Jedi style and the
door would open like that wait you could
get into any hotel room in the city
right now and that gives you an idea
the reception's greets you you try to
hide your nervousness and start with a
hole just visiting a friend story but
you're caught in an awkward situation
when you can't give a name a room number
I mean I'm here to book a room as she's
taking your information you feel
yourself being pulled the elevators are
right around the corner you try to fight
it cash your card
her voice snaps you back to reality you
pull your hand to your wallet but then
you realize there's a magnetic strip on
your debit card you could use this strip
to pay but what if my card you say and
hold your palm over the card reader the
device reads your hand like a magnet but
there's obviously no money on it the
receptionist gives you a strange look
you'll need to insert your card you know
what I need to withdraw some cash have a
nice day there goes that idea even if it
did work it wouldn't have been honest
snooping around the rooms like that
yeah thanks Steve you leave the hotel
and decide to grab a bike your favorite
diner is just a couple of blocks down
the road you feel so in tune with your
surroundings well kind of pulled and
repelled by all their metal around you
the car zooming wife zippers and jewelry
on each passerby the loose change in
everyone's pockets oh that's an idea now
don't even think about it no more
shenanigans plus you're starving and
you're already at the diner as soon as
you walk in the utensils on all the
tables start vibrating you can hear pots
and pans clanging together in the
kitchen
uh-oh you pick a table in the far corner
and order your favorite dish baked
chicken with mushrooms as the waiters
writing down your order all of a sudden
his pen flies out of his hand and sticks
to your forehead he's speechless you
know what can I change that to a plate
of seafood with a side of black eyed
peas he nervously takes the pen off your
head
coming right up shrimp oysters tuna
chickpeas beans they're rich in iron and
that's exactly what you're craving
you've become a magnet and any magnet
loses its strength over time therefore
you need a lot of metal to fuel your new
superpower with your magnetic belly full
do you pay for your meal and head
outside so music would be nice as soon
as you put your earphones in they
immediately bounce magnetic resistance
remember there's a small magnet inside
each earphone okay no music today the
sound of the city will do as you walk
down the street you get that same weird
feeling again like you're being drawn by
some huge magnet it leads you down to
the subway the controller stops and
checks you through a metal detector and
of course the thing starts going nuts
all devices start wigging out because of
strong electromagnetic power the
controller is as confused as the waiter
and the hotel receptionist but a clear
search grants you access to the platform
you're going down the escalator there
are no people around right now which
means you can have some fun you close
your eyes and feel all the mechanisms in
the escalator then you make it go faster
you're at the bottom in less than a
minute
the trains door closes right before you
get in but you can use your new magneto
powers to open it and you're on your way
you get off at the last station the
outskirts of the city and is that Oh a
junkyard
the magnetic crane pulls you you try to
fight it but you can't resist thankfully
the yes confused worker operating the
thing turns it off before it can pick
you up off the ground before he can ask
any questions you decide to get out of
this place and fast you hitchhike a ride
to the countryside well hitchhike might
not be the word for it you stick
yourself to a passing car heading
further away from the city a fun perk of
your new powers the driver doesn't know
so no harm done
you unstick yourself when you've reached
a good spot it's pitch black
quiet not a single metal object around
you only trees and the ground you can
still feel the power of magnetism but
where is it coming from you look at your
compass the arrow spins erratically in
different directions
if compasses work thanks to the Earth's
magnetic field it must mean you're
throwing it off at this moment you
realize what magnet is pulling you to
itself our whole planet is one giant
magnet and the center of this magnet is
the Earth's iron and nickel core you
touch the ground and feel that the
signal is coming from there whew think
of the possibilities you could move the
earth make it spin faster slower the
whole world is in your hands thanks
what's left then well have some fun with
your new superpowers legal fun we got a
Steve thanks you can not only stick
fridge magnets to yourself you can also
become a huge magnet for a large
industrial refrigerator you'll become
the best treasure hunter your body is a
metal detector
who needs pocket change when you can
find a chest of coins buried in some
forgotten place or even better use this
magnetism for a good cause you see the
planets electromagnetic field protects
us from flashes of solar winds that hit
Europe but not 100% the field is raging
because of these solar flares and then
it forms magnetic storms they affect the
work of electricity and can even cause
headaches and some people you can become
a superhero by stopping these storms or
now that you feel the fluctuations in
the Earth's magnetic field you can
predict earthquakes magnetism is so
influential and powerful not only on our
planet
but also in the universe there are
cosmic objects called magnet arms that
are huge
neutron stars with a magnetic field so
strong that it can attract and destroy
entire planets hmm you know what
I'll let you finish the story down in
the comments what would you do if you
were magnetic and if you learned
something new today then give the video
a like and share it with a friend um
Steve yeah here are some other cool
videos I think you'll enjoy just click
to the left or right and remember stay
on the bright side of life how is that
you
