minus-squareAnticorp@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5arrow-down2·2 years agoRight. Magnets only work on ferrous metals. Black holes will suck anything in, even light.
minus-squaresploosh@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·2 years agoSaying they suck things in isn’t really correct, unless you want to also say that the sun is constantly sucking Earth toward it. It’s just gravity. Also, magnets don’t only work on ferrous metals. Magnets push electrons through copper loops in generators and that’s how we have electricity.
