The Electro-Magnetic Connection: Magnetism as an Emergent Function of
Electric Force

Wikipedia tells us that magnetism is derived from the particle spin of
electrons – that is how electrons spin about their own axis, coupled with
Special Relativity. (1) Well we here at Occam’s Razor have already exposed
Special Relativity to be mere optical illusion, and wish to propose a much
more elegant explanation besides.
What do we know? That protons attract electrons and vice versa. We also
know that electrons orbit the nucleus of atoms at specific rates, based
upon the ‘height’ of their orbit. So then what would occur if two
neighboring atoms had electrons that orbited in such a configuration that
whenever one electron was in between the atoms the other’s electron was on
the opposite side of its atom? One would expect that these electrons would
attract the neighbor’s protons so as to pull it closer – magnetic
attraction. What would happen if both electrons were on opposite sides?
The electrons would come in close proximity, repulsing one another (and
therein pushing the atoms apart), and the protons left unshielded by their
electrons would push on each other as well – magnetic repulsion.
[Figure 1]
The question could be raised: “Why only two polarities? Why not
multitudes of opposing electron-configurations?” I posit that this is a
self correcting dichotomy. In conductive materials, whenever electrons are
in a certain range (less than the half-way mark in between one or the other
configuration) their respective electrons, through the aptly named
electro-magnetic force, will mold them into the closest polarity.
Addendum: I would be surprised if heavy, magnetically active elements,
being in close proximity do not in fact share electrons. This would serve
to strengthen the magnetic bond, and surely is not forbidden by
contemporary physics. For a quick elaboration: let’s say we have two atoms
in close proximity, where the electrons of both are offset in their orbits
so that when the electron of one atom is in between the two atoms, the
other’s electron is on the other side of its atom. The two atoms’ nuclei
are now, for the first atom’s electron, equally distant from said electron,
which already has momentum from its elliptical orbit heading toward the
field of influence of the second (or other) atom’s nucleus. It is
perfectly plausible that this electron would then ‘jump’ to orbit the
second atom’s nucleus, and this pattern would repeat until the atoms were
separated by some external force.
As Special Relativity is off the mark (2), and as the above explanation for
the link between magnetism and electricity is not forbidden by physics
(“and everything that is not forbidden is mandatory”), this must be the
actual connection between the two.
