Perhaps we could start with how the field looks without man's interference of the field, where hey denote polls and arrows all over the field, in some attempt to give reason to why PMs behave the way they do.
If we look at the PM and depicted field below, where man's little arrows and field orientations have been removed, we see no reason as to why one end will attract one end of another PM, but repel the opposite end of the other PM.
So, if we start from this blank slate- (N and S removed, field line arrows removed), how would you go about explaining the above?
We know the field is looped around the PM body, and gets weaker the further out from the PM body we get.
We also know that anything that can provide a force or energy, is something that is moving.
If it has mass, it needs motion. If it has no mass, it needs energy, which is also in the form of motion-like the photon.
There is nothing that can provide energy without motion, and no mass can be put into motion without energy.
Nothing can provide a force without the input of energy first.
We are told that there exists only 1 field around a PM, but not a single person can tell you what that field is, which also means they cannot explain as to why we have either a repelling or attracting force between two PM bodies. If we were to look at the electric field, we could explain as to why two bodies with opposite charges attract, and why two bodies with equal like charges repel. But even the electric field must have two different fields, where one is in a high energy state, and the other in a low energy state. Like all thing in nature, they want to reach a point of equilibrium, and when you provide that path, they will equalize, and become neutral.
The fact that the field is looped, indicates an equal and opposite field at each end of the PM body.
The fact that that two unlike fields want to attract, and two like fields want to repel, indicates once again an equal and opposite field at each end of the PM body.
When we look at the likes of the homopolar generator, where we can rotate the magnet, and get no induction through the disk, but rotate the disk while the magnet remains stationary, and get induction through the disk, shows us that the magnetic field is not pinned to the PM body, but is in fact pinned to the space around it.
This leads me to believe that when the PM body was magnetized, it was an organization of a field that already exists in all space, that became what we call the magnetic field.
The biggest problem with most, is they keep trying to relate this field organization, or charge separation, to that of the electric field they know of, or charges they know of, regardless of how many times you try to explain that this field is not one as we know others to be.
I believe the magnetic field to be made of two equal and opposite fields, where some form of charge was separated within an existing field, when the PM body was magnetized.
This changes nothing in the way the field behaves, or what we can do with it, or how charges behave within it.
What it does do, is explain as to why like poles repel, and unlike poles attract. It explains what the magnetic field is, which is something the current model cannot do.
To assume that we (as humans), who are still in their infancy as far as science and physics go's, think we know all when it comes to the various types of charges and matter that exist within the universe, is nothing short of stupidity, and will advance us no further.
The two field theory is not fact, nor do i say it is.
It is nothing more than a theory that fits, and is yet to be verified.
But what is fact, is that there are those here-as like most, that seem to have little room for change to that of what they are shown, even though what they believe to be true, offers no answers to what the very subject matter is--that being- what !is! the magnetic field/force.
I am simply coming up with ideas, mostly based around known facts, that completes upon what we know so far-nothing more.
but because repeatedly I have been finding out that people are not capable of a paradigm shift necessary to comprehend my answers.
Indeed.
As i just did.
