New Theory of Magnetism

No.13071137 ViewReplyOriginalReport
Magnetic attraction/repulsion in ferromagnetic metals is based upon near-collisions of magnetons with metal nuclei, not based upon "we don't know what causes it."

I think you'll find this a far superior theory than the existing theory, which is that "it just works."

This theory is supported by the fact that elements 26-28 are ferromagnetic metals, and they have a specific positive electrical charge based upon their proton count, which corresponds to their atomic number. Iron 26, Cobalt 27, Nickel 28.

I propose that magnetic attraction at the quantum level is due to individual magnetons being pulled closer to the nucleus as they pass by, similar to a space probe slingshotting around a planet. Each time this happens, the metal atom is pulled in the opposite of the direction of travel of the magneton, electrostatically. Although the effect is due to the EM force, the behavior observes Newtonian Laws and is analogous to what would happen if a series of massive bodies shot past a small planet or moon, one after the other. The cumulative force from multiple passes would alter the position of the celestial body in question, propelling it.

Ferromagnetic metals 26-28 have exactly the right positive charge to attract magnetons without sucking them in entirely, which results in neutralization and virtually no effect on the motion of the atoms.

I have not heard anyone express this theory before, so I can only assume it's original, but is it correct? If it's correct, would I be eligible to receive credit for the idea? How does that work?
