"Glass is not magnetic. If a smooth piece of glass is sticking to him and a smooth piece of metal, what do those have in common? A very smooth surface. Not magnetism." That shows that quite a different physical effect is at play. "These people aren't magnetic, it's just that things that have smooth surfaces stick to skin," said Radford, adding, "Often these magnetic people have smooth skin and hairless chests." Bogdan, shirtless in the MSNBC video, is quite devoid of chest hair. According to Radford, scientists and paranormal skeptics have often tested alleged attractors to see whether they are generating magnetic fields, and they aren't. For example, Radford said, when a compass is hung around their necks, it doesn't point toward them, as it would if they were magnetic enough to attract spoons. Instead, it points due north to the Earth's magnetic pole." [link to www.lifeslittlemysteries.com] I can't find the explanation I was looking for, but it clearly debunks the 'magnetic' aspect. essentially, a few people have very smooth skin with very small pores, allowing greater surface tension to be generated between the skin and the item placed on it. |
