Talk:Magnetism

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

[edit] pna-cite

There are only two references to the term "magnetism" was in reference to a person's "charm".

Otherwise there are literally a couple hundred references to "magnet", "magnetic". --Alan 15:58, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Maybe the article should be magnet? The current definition in there isn't even that accurate anyway, since most magnets seen in Trek are electromagnets. -- Kingfisher 17:00, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

There was an anvil in (TNG: "Time's Arrow"). I made a request on that ep's talk page for a photo! I just revised Electromagnetism slightly -- see the Talk:Electromagnetism there for my thoughts on Electronics. I'll see what I can do with Magnetism and Electromagnetic field. I don't intend to replace Wikipedia's or Citizendium's definitions of the subject... MA shouldn't be the be all end all source for these kinds of subjects. --vorik111 01:32, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

There are about 40-some references to "electromagnet", about the same to magnetic field, 4 to "magnetic pole", 9 to something being "magnetized"...--Alan 17:13, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
