Magnetism is the most powerful force on earth. It’s the energy of light and heat. Its force causes the earth to rotate and the acceleration of all causal chain reactions set in motion along radiate pathways, outward like meridian lines from pole to pole. ​The science of magnetism is a fascinating subject, and a vital component of many scientific communities, but what inspired me to learn more of its fundamentals was how it affects the way our bodies perceive space and time, thinking about the curvature of light through the force of energy.
We use different wavelengths of light and different frequencies to determine how magnetism affects our perceptions. Light is reflected from particles which are attracted to each other, and thus is affected by the light waves from another object, similar to the way we see colors in a rainbow come from millions of raindrops that are sitting at different angles in the sky. The energy of the magnetosphere, which is caused by movement of mass and friction, causes things to move around, such as light waves, or particles in a field. If the movement is constant, not stationary, it moves in a circular motion in a constant direction, thus it becomes a magnet. In essence, this vortex is like a large cyclone that forms when the extended space over the poles starts to cool down.

The change in temperature causes the magnetic field to spin, and since water is the fluid attracted to magnetism, by freezing a magnet, the force allows the ice to hold on to it, which enable the magnet to pull it even more. The magnetism is repelled by the water molecules, not the water itself. The molecules move away from each other, which causes the water to separate and form different magnetic fields. In a solid state, water molecules have a lot of energy and are more conductive, because the magnet keeps them in a constant state, it causes the liquid to freeze faster, thus, with a stronger magnet, it would release more energy than it would take to move the molecules toward it. The water molecules would move in a direction that would cause the water to flow. So when you see the transverse waves on the surface of water, you are actually seeing the flow of energy from a magnetic field traveling at a constant speed. Since water is diamagnetic, it shouldn't be affected by a magnetic field, but studies on the magnetic effects in water have shown that upon applying a magnetic field to the water, the thermal motion of the partially changing atoms causes a Lorentz force to occur. Lorentz forces stimulate hydrogen bonding, which could explain the higher melting points due to suppressed thermal motion.
The effects of various diamagnetic phenomena in terms of magnetic energy can be referenced in this published article, Magnetic Processing of Diamagnetic Materials.

The force acting between the dipoles may be attractive or repulsive, depending on their mutual location and orientation (Figure 1), resulting in aggregates.
