A magnet consists of a mass in which the magnetic domains of most of the molecules are all oriented in the same direction. It requires energy to make this happen. Magnetic interactions (such as induction in wires moving thru a magnetic field) creates heat (energy loss). Magnetic polarization disapates with time (entropy).
Thus magnatism is like any other potential energy, it takes energy to get it there and it uses energy up (entropy) when it's effects are bing used.
For now I will leave Gravity to someone else.

Thanks for helping to get god pounded into my head
Another succesful faith based initiative. Just like 9/11
