*Oh, hello. In case my rambling and Prof's...questions were a bit confusing* Magnetite is the most magnetic of all the naturally occurring minerals on Earth. It is everywhere, and forms from the cooling of lava, asteroid impacts, etc. "Lodestone" is the strongly magnetized version of magnetite, and was humanity's first contact with magnetism (it was used for our first compasses, hence "lode" or "leading" stone). The leading theory...ugh...is that lodestone is a result of lightning strikes. BUT WHY PROF? WHY? Because the intense heat can make the atoms in the mineral moveable again, and the intense electric field creates a magnetic field to which the electron spins in those atoms align. This is the exact process we use to make all the magnets you're familiar with. We find suitable minerals, powderize them, shape them with heat in a mold, and then heat them up again to a certain temperature (the Curie Temperature). Right then, we zap them with an INTENSE magnetic field generated by a giant spike of electricity. This aligns the magnet, and when it cools down, the alignment is maintained. Almost every magnet you've ever seen is man-made. So yes, the Earth's only natural magnet may be made by lightning, but other minerals are magnetic and not magnetized in this way, and man-made magnets use manageable electricity.

I don't think I've ever seen a more accurate visual representation of psychic damage being inflicted on another human being.

_"After lightning struck the cliffs, the ore became iron, the iron became steel, and the steel became greaves. The lightning never left."_ -Lightning Greaves

We need a new Secret Lair featuring a Tormenting Voice print with Prof talking to Kyle as the artwork. _"But if lightning strikes metal..."_ _~The Professor_

I loved seeing Kyle's self confidence and sanity deteriorate at an alarming rate... The Prof is like radiation.

Many Magic: The Gathering Professors ask the question..."If a piece of metal gets struck by lightning, does it become a magnet?"

"They can be naturally aligned" "By lightning" *pain*

I love how this kind of looks like a modern cientist trying to explain to a wizard how magnets actially work and the wizard going "we've been striking things with lightning all the time and sometimes they work".

Can we get a shoutout to the editors and the production team on this. Of course Prof and Kyle kill it but everything else about this vid just goes above and beyond

This is an accurate representation of me trying to explain anything to my friends

I'm excited for every deck box review to have the professor say "This box is held together with powerful magnets. Made with lightning by the way"

This NEEDS to be a series. Kyle definitely has a lot of science stuff to learn from u Prof.

Kyle: "I know we worship Zeus, but not everything comes from lightning" Also Kyle: looks upward in fear that he may have displeased Zeus

You got Brian Kibler on the show? Wow, you really do have the big bucks Prof?

I love how you introduce the video as “many juggalos ask how do magnets work” lol love watching the prof

the breakdown of kyle going "Oh no. they ARE madeby lightning" is one of the best

Kyle slamming the "NEW SECRET LAIR ALERT" at 11:43 got me good!

This was delightful to watch. Your guys are hilarious together. And I legitimately laughed like fool everytime Kyle looked like he was going to have a stroke when prof would ramble about lightening. You 2 definitely need a regular show together where Kyle explains science to proff. More episodes please.

I love how trolled Kyle Hill got, he's such a fun guy, and his explanations are so good. His passion really shines. I loved this! Science fucking rocks.

This might be the greatest comedic duo since Abbott and Costello. Thank you so much for this, and Prof thank you for teaching me that magnets come from lightning and nowhere else. You should have Phil join you more often.

Kyle said that not everything comes from lightning, but some theorize that volcanic lightning may have sparked the first proteins that created life, so that's another point for lightning magic.

Couple of goofballs Kyle you're a true hero to put up with the Prof when he's off script like this lol. Love you both. Major fan of both our you for ages. Great video. Thanks for the laughs!!!

this is exactly like i imagined it when i noticed the stretch goal on kickstarter. thank you kyle hill for helping put this video together. prof and team keep it up

Better after credits scene than a Marvel movie.

Since Thor is here, be sure to stay for the after credits scene, then go watch the new Shuffle Up & Play, my Magic: The Gathering gameplay series here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m7OTfciQu725lok.html

Kyle’s best work so far are the nuclear histories, which are awesome, but it’s nice to see lighter stuff from him too

I love that we have a 27 min video, and Kyle still had to comment an explanation. science is fun

This is one of the best KZfaq videos I've seen in awhile and i would absolutley watch the hell out of a kyle and prof science show. I learned and laughed at the same time. Well done! 👏

This had me laughing so hard, thank you for the laughs and the lesson Professor and Kyle!

I feel like Kyle Hill was not warned that he would be having a co-host for this episode. I don't think we're now ever going to see him on an episode of Sesame Street explaining science to the muppets.

Kyle is so good at explaining stuff. Imagine if he had a science related KZfaq channel...

Shout out to Kyle for being so patient with the professor!

The editing on this is absolutely amazing. I've had to pause the video a couple times because I was laughing so hard

I love that this devolved into herding cats. And watching Kyle/Phil lose a few hours off the end of his life every time Prof interrupted with tomfoolery was kinda beautiful

I applaud Kyle's patience with this one lol

We definitely need WAY more of these Kyle/Professor videos. they are pure gold! Which can’t be magnetized!

Reading the science, explains the science.

Alternate title : “Odin teaches Thor about Midgard magic”

I could watch Kyle and the Prof banter back and forth about anything for hours. They riff off of each other so well.

Not gonna lie… I lost track of how many times I flat out cackled watching this. Thank you both (and the rest of the team) for that gift.

The mental breakdown of Kyle from start to finish had my cracking up . Love when you two work together

This is the best stretch goal ever.

This was better than I ever expected it to be, and whatever you paid Kyle, it wasn't enough. 😂

Bruh this is the cross over I never knew I wanted. Love both of you guys

Worth every penny! As always, thank you Prof! You brighten our lives, genuinely.

Finally, an authority I can trust to explain how magnets work.

Big props to Kyle for not just walking away.

You can tell these guys are good friends. Love this kind of content as a break from the usual MTG stuff, would love to see more with Mr. Phil! :)

This is hilarious. This deck box kickstarter really is the gift that keeps on giving.

"Now think about it just a little bit harder." Kyle smoke's going to start pouring out of his ears, slow down.

This was delightful. I've often been The Prof in these situations, so it was fun to see exactly the kind of harm I'm causing to my loved ones with my shenanigans 😂

Prof, Kyle, Thank you so much, this video was a joy to have pop into my feed. The way you two play off each other was incredible. Kudos to the editing team as well. I hope everyone can get together to do another video like this soon!

Can...can we get a weekly podcast of Prof explaining things to Kyle? This made my day....so much more than I could have expected

I learned something today, not sure what it is exactly, but I bet it will help me somewhere down the line.

This is much funnier when you ask yourself what kind of inebriant in the professor’s mug

As someone with a degree in creative writing, with plenty of friends who are either engineers or physicists, this is one of the most enjoyable and entertaining videos I have ever seen on youtube, and doing this myself to my friends extends my lifespan, to the detriment of theirs.

Kyle dying a little on the inside every time prof speaks is great

"TCC can we have Thor at home?" TCC: "We have Thor at home" Thor at home

I never knew the prof had a PhD in Trolling. I think I saw smoke coming out of Kyle's ears.

Holy crap this was great. I am loving all of the great collabs in the MTG sphere! Y'all are out here killin' it!

Can we get Prof vs Kyle cedh in shuffle up and play?

“Many juggleos ask the question” gold

this was fun and educative at the same time, the Proff and Kyle should do this on many other subjets. SO MUCH FUN haha

The banter in this is absolutely amazing. As in Kyle's face every time prof. mentions lightning.

Kyle Hills reactions are how I tend to start discussions with people who are so obscenely wrong about a subject I know vastly more about. Love it.

I learned a valuable lesson today: never try drinking anything while these two share a screen. Holy crap.

Got to admit, wasn't expecting this collaboration and I'm glad it's here.

Thank you so much for this! This was the crossover I never knew I needed & it improved my day so much 😊

I love this SO MUCH. I haven't laughed this much in a long time

I love Kyle. I feel his pain. I have friends like Prof.

This video is lovely, and it’s gotta be one of my favorites on this channel. Well done.

The gravitational force of Kyle's eye rolls is amazing! Bless the editor(s) of this episode.

The crossover I didn’t know I needed until now.

At the end of the day, perhaps the real metal turned magnets were the friends we made along the way

This has to be the most enlighting (get it?) and funniest video I've have ever seen! Seeing Kyle lose his marbles and Prof obsessively talk about lightning = stuff was amazing! Shoutout to the editiors and producers as well, what an amazing video! FYI: I would like to add, as a physicist, that lightning rods are probably (we don't strike rods with lightning where I study, so it's an educated guess) NOT magnetic and so paper clips won't stick to it. The purpose of a lightning rod is for it to "stuck to ground" or be "grounded", however you wanna call it, which means it's 'surface charge' is 'sent' to the ground. So, with no surface charge, there's no associated electromagnetic field that can be felt or interacted with by the clip after the lightning hits it, so no electromagnetic field = no magnetism felt by the clip. But being fair to the prof, in an instant, like nanosecond, in which the lightning hits the rod, it may be magnetic and attract the paper, but only for a nanosecond! Before the charge is taken to ground, so maybe the prof was also correct, but please don't stand near a lightning rod with a paper clip to test this...

This video was absolutely amazing, and it was pretty enlightening as to how magnets actually work, I hope to see more in the future

Such a fantastic video, so much fun between these two. It's nice seeing them together again, feels like it's been too long since I've seen them at the same table!!

This is even more glorious than I expected it to be

I haven't laughed this much in a while!!! Thank you for the refreshing content and great collaboration between you two.

love, LOVE the editing!

This is a gift. This is the content i didn't know I needed

Wizards, make a Lightning Magic card now that pings for 1, goads the creature, and forces all creatures to block it. Do it. Do it. Do it.

This video was so absolutely hilarious. Kyle's videos are so informative and I get an inordinate amount of joy when I see him flustered. It's part of what makes his office hours streams so good.

This is golden need more of the two of you explaining stuff.

Well established characters, strong motives, each a personal journey and a plot-twist that turns the entire story on its head.

Happy to see this colab happen.

This is probably one of my favorite coop? teamup? duo? Co-video? idk what to call it but I love both your channels and content and I love seeing you two in the same video.

This, was a beautiful video. A piece of art. I feel Kyle's pain, and I laughed with the editing. I hope we can have more "Classes" at TCC with Kyle in future as this was a thoroughly enjoyable watch !

“Yawgmoth” I proceed to scare the shit out of my wife as I burst into hysterical laughter. A+ This is the Odd couple I want in life. Prof is 100% Walter Matthau in this head cannon.

What an awesome collab, i never expected something like this, but enjoyed it a lot

One of the most entertaining videos I have ever seen! thank you two

This is delightful. I love seeing how this channel has grown.

More of the Professor schooling science educators would be awesome, this was hilarious

Funniest vid I've seen on the channel thus far! Hope you guys do more collabs like this.

I would love for this to be a series. I laughed very hard at this video and learned about magnets. I consider that a win win! The dynamic between prof and Kyle is great!

This had me in tears in the office way funnier than I expected it to be

The editing on this video is outstanding

This might be my favorite Prof video over. And the editing makes it even better!

Please make more videos like this! My two favorite youtubers explaining magnets, awesome!

The satisfaction with which Prof says "electric bits" when asked what was around the atoms is my favorite. This is amazing and needs to happen more. Two of my absolute favorites. Edit: As I make it further in the video, also loving the effort Prof is putting into giving Kyle a brain hemorrhage.
