Form Ranks

Magnets finally make sense now. Somebody FINALLY explains that magnetism is just spinning all the electrons the same way. Though it is likely not that simple. Then what happens if you use one of those cool or really freaking cold laser traps to slow photons down to near absolute zero but instead tune it differently and start synchronizing up any old set of electrons. Like you'd be this drill instructor making weird magnets. Maybe electromagnets work like a river, you pour in enough juice and the whole thing starts to flow one way and bam, you got yourself a whole mess of synchronized electrons running one way in this big herd. Pretty much makes you wonder if we live in the veldt of some other creatures africa and these magnetic herds of migrating beasts are what they see and live on. Whoa, like the electrons beat like waves or music, the more there are, the larger the wave, the stronger the magnet. Least that sounds good. Resonance probably is that. Synchronized swimming for the kiddie pool guys orbiting the nucleus.

Yah, and the dance is infectious.

Sick magnets get cheered up and and try to join the dance whenever the waves of flux produced by a healthy magnet's marching band shake all the windows in their house.

Power that comes from just being organized, from having your ducks in a row, from things dancing and singing and clapping and stomping their feet together in harmony, from highly ordered states.

The bigger the crowd gets, the more powerful and addictive and louder the emotion gets, the bigger the crowd gets.

Entropy has its enemies.

Woke up a 3AM wondering if the uncertainty of knowing the exact state of a particle in some way violates knowing that everything is beating in a wave and synchronized.

But its way too complicated, I'm going to need a picture to figure this stuff out.

Entropy has enemies... that is fascinating. Consciousness being one, at least in most cases.
