At Peace.
It was so ridiculous and implausible that it should have never been confused with reality.
But for a while, everyone in town believed it. Even the FBI showed up to investigate.
Who could have known? Especially Sam's Dad.
He didn't give much thought to what his 5 year old son did when he was at work, but knew his son liked to watch him work on his models, and patiently answered the boy's questions, but he didn't dream that a 5 year old would get so much media attention.
Sam was a very curious boy, who was thouroughly infatuated with Science. He loved magnets ever since his 4th Birthday, when he he got his horseshoe magnet.
When he discovered his dad had stronger magnets in the shed he snuck out to the shed every chance he got to see what he could do with them.
When he discovered copper reactions slowed down magnets falling, it then became an obsesssion.
He Rigged up the wheel of his radio controlled car as a drive wheel to spin a copper tube, and inserted a cylindrical magnet inside. The magnet became suspended inside the copper tube when the tube was spun.
That was how it started. His dad was impressed when his son showed him that..
Lenz's Law was nothing new to him since his degree was in physics and chemistry,
Lenz's Law. The magnetic field induced in the metal attracts the falling magnet, creating resistance. ... Gravity speeds the magnet back up again until it reaches a happy medium speed. Basically, your magnet is creating a whirlpool of electrons around it as it falls through your pipe.
But he never saw anyone suspend a magnet inside a spinning copper pipe. That was an impressive thing even for an adult college student,
"Who showed you that?"
"Me."
"Don't tell your mother."
