[geocentrism] Re: Joshua's Long Day

Its evening, and Im in a friendlier mood..  Its been a long day for me but I 
left Josh up there in the subject line. 

If I had not balked at calculus, I might have gotten to like math.. Today i had 
confirmed some of my disbeliefs, and unconfirmed some of my beliefs. I was 
unsure that mag fields worked according to inverse square law... Now I know 
they dont.  because inverse sq only works for a point source .. Even light 
doesn't if it is coming from a flat plane, and electric fields do not if they 
are coming from a linear conductor..  hmm

So I just got a problem that is so complex it needs a High priest of math. In 
the sense that gravity causes acceleration because it is a constant, how does 
one calculate the acceleration on a unit pole from a magnetic field that is not 
constant universally???
No one on google knows..  But experiment shows that the force between magnets 
increases rapidly with decreasing distance.. 

My experiment..  I want to shoot a magnet oriented for poles attracting very 
close to but through  and at right angles to a powerful magnetic field. If it 
is too slow it will get captured.. How do I calculate the escape velocity for a 
fly past.???  would there be one?  
I mean, a mag field can accelerate a particle up to the speed of light. 

I just bet this will cause pages of calculations???
