While physics has been integral in learning about mechanics and electromagnetism, there is unquestionable evidence that magnetism may be an oversimplified hoax that scientists implemented because they couldn’t figure out the full story of this strange force. There are major flaws in both the equation and the magnet pole system.

 
The magnetic force is different for every different point of view. The equation is as follows: F(B)=qvXB. F(B) represents the magnetic force, q is the charge on the particle/object, v is the velocity of the particle/object, and B is the magnetic field that the particle/object is immersed in. While the equation may look fundamentally sound at first glance, their is one major flaw that scientists have not answered: the velocity. While equations and complex physics can prove the flaw, I will describe a situation that every person can understand. Imagine you are sitting down and you see someone on a bike, riding at 5 m/s. For simplicity sake, let’s pretend that the charge and magnetic field are both equal to 1. The force that the biker feels in your frame of reference is 5 Newtons. Now let’s take a journey to a far away galaxy that is moving extremely fast compared to Earth. We would then see the biker moving at a much faster rate: 500,000 m/s, for example. The perceived force on the biker from the new point of view could be 500,000 Newtons. So who is right? How can a biker react to two different forces. The person on Planet X sees the biker get thrown across the street while the bystander watches as the biker easily slides through the negligible force. How can both situations happen? There is an easy answer: it can’t! We only looked at two possible scenarios, but in reality, the Force equation implies that any and every force perceivable acts on the biker simultaneously. We don’t need a mathematician to know that our world does not work that way.

 
Scientists must either revise their equation or give limitations to their formula. The problems are clear and we deserve proper answers.
