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?

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.
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?
I always wanted kitchen cookware with a stirring pill. But it would require using glass or ceramic cookware on the stove. Which can be done to some extent but still feels sketchier than metal.
I guess those spinning magnetic pills one puts in beakers over a magnetic hot plate in chemistry labs are all an empirical hoax then.
Those are stir bars.

Please tell me you forgot the /s …
Haha, 100%. I’m a scientist, I haven’t believed in phlogiston in years!
Another phlogiston denier in an ivory tower. Tell me then, how does fire work?

Oh my god a real luminiferous aether believer. Basically christian theology. How fucking convenient for you, father.
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.

so you can tell!
They’re my fave bit of lab equipment. That and the Vortex because I must touch it.
They are protected by the PTFE cover, so the magnet is not in contact with water. Basic chemistry…
