Join us for an electrifying talk with Professor Magneto — aka Dr. Greg Ballentine (Department of Physics & Astronomy, Brandon University), as he pulls back the curtain on the real science of magnetism. Whether you’re fascinated by how magnets work, or skeptical about the strange claims you've heard, this event is for you.
Dr. Ballentine, a specialist in the physics of electromagnetism, will guide us through the basics of magnetic fields, how they behave in everyday environments, and where popular beliefs go off the rails.
Curious questions he'll tackle include:
Do magnets still work underwater? since Trump asked.
Magnet therapy can cure diseases like arthritis.
Will putting a magnet on your skin pull metals from your body?
Can Wearing magnets protect you from EMFs or 5G?
Will the Earth’s magnetic field flip overnight and cause global disasters?
Will WiFi and 5G cause cancer?
Expect a fun, myth-busting evening that separates fact from fiction — and science from snake oil. Bring your own questions that you want answered.... all curious questions are good questions!
As we get the small private room in the pub for free, all we ask is that you buy a drink or a meal while attending.
