Things I think are neat are just neat. Things scientists think are neat should not be touched, not ingested, and probably be avoided at all costs.
I've been thinking a lot lately.
It's part of being a scientist.
Any advice on avoiding earth's magnetic field?
To take control of your environment, a magnet array can be used to counteract it. Maybe a powered array if you'd like to move. If you'd like to simply quiet down the fizzle in your skull, then a steel shell will deflect the field and provide a net zero field inside
Would a tin foil hat work? What about a metal colander? I have one of those I could wear on my head.
Well, try it. I can't remember if non-magnetic material blocks magnetic fields, but I mean it's free to find out if the sizzle stops
