This is about reference points because direction is all relative to where you are. Since the Earth is round, theoretically, you are never really north or south.
The article is about how electromagnetism ha no real direction, meaning that our conception of north and south isn't really true. its all a geomagnetic field, rather than an electromagnetic one.
It talks about how the electrons move at a velocity (speed in a given direction), but don't actually go "north" or "south". It depends on the reference point.
The article has to do with velocity which was in chapter 1

This article is all about how the human mind thinks of North and South. When you go North you are really going South and vice versa.

this reminded me of "relative motion"

ReplyDeleteIt talks about North and South and how it's different according to your reference point
ReplyDeleteElana wins!
ReplyDeleteThere will be more my little science nerds. Stay tuned!
