Well I'm ever so glad we've cleared that up.

Plutonium, apparently, isn't magnetic.

Neither are copper, silver or gold, so I dunno why this is such a big deal.

Not sure that I'd go shooting neutrons at the stuff, mind.

For dear old Freako, this is an experiment which has determined that the non magnetic properties of Plutonium are caused by its unpaired electrons being in 3 states. All at the same time.

So there.

No mention of a lambent blue glow, so I'd assume that the sample wasn't particularly big.

Magnetic is a misleading term.

Is Aluminum Magnetic?

Try dropping a rare earth magnet down an alumnium pipe.

[zeitghost]

Yes.

I've got a Lenz's Law apparatus.

Fun, innit?

And that's eddy currents.
