There is a magnificent net all around us. This 'Mag-Netic' force is the one that keeps us in place and helps us do what we can. Just imagine this earth, the planet that we inhabit. Earth is a large globe with a circumference of around 25,000 miles. It completes one circle around itself in twenty four hours; that means it rotates over a speed of 1000 miles per hour, faster than any airplane that humans have ever invented. Our planet also orbits around the sun at a velocity of around 67,000 miles per hour, a speed that we cannot even imagine. The rotation around its own axis and the travel around the sun both take place at a precision that helps us to predict the celestial behavior patterns such as eclipses, seasons, etc accurately.

This planet is only one of several smaller planets around our own sun. Each orbits around the sun in a precise manner. Similar to our sun, there are thousands of suns around our own milky way galaxy. Although our scientific knowledge of these planetary objects are fairly primitive at this point of time, no one can deny the fact that these too operate with a regularity that can be observed through some of our powerfully built telescopes. Similar to our galaxy there are thousands of such galaxies all across the entire universe. They too operate with a pattern, precision and regularity. What can hold these together?

Only a magnificent net, a universal magnet or universal magnetism to be more precise, can hold these celestial bodies operating in synchronicity.

It is this magnetic force then that binds us with our planet.
