    Do magnets work in space or in places were there’s no magnetic field?

    Hello, my name is Jacob. Thank you for informing me about magnets. I find it really interesting how there are magnets that are so strong that they cause distortion. Anyway, thank you for the knowledge.

    It is interesting that the North pole of a magnet will attract the South pole of another, but 2 North poles will repel each other. Yet, if you cut one magnet in half, results in 2 smaller weaker magnets not a single north or south pole. It is these invisible forces at work that control navigation, protect us from harmful solar radiation and even hold up pictures on fridges.

    Magnets are very interesting because they can both be used to pull items and push items depending on how you orient them
