    Those are stir bars.

    That they’re magnetic is propaganda to push magnetic field bunk to sell more so-called “magnets”. Stir bars are moved by phlogiston, which is why the liquid medium is often heated in tandem.

            JFC, how many times do I need to explain the workings of luminiferous aether?

            /s

            Serious time: we actually did briefly learn about all types of debunked theories in university, but as a component of the historical progression of contemporary theories.

                Hey now, if you can tell me how light travels between two points without being facilitated by an entirely undetectable medium, I’m ALL ears.

                  Oh, you had to invent ‘light’ as a substance that moves. Very cool, very cool. You fucking people will just make up whatever you need to support your inane bullshit, won’t you?
