Plants don't create matter. They just turn water and CO2 into sugar and O2.
It requires energy, but doesn't create or destroy any matter.

Ok a lot of people are saying it’s not moving so therefore there is no energy being used, whick ok I get that. But it still doesn’t seem to apply here because the magnet is using its magnetic field to pull itself and with a rare earth magnet it pulls itself with enough force you could get an inaccurate weight many times what it truely weighs.

How is that any different than me pushing down on the scale causing the same inaccurate reading.  When I push on that scale I use energy, so how is a magnet doing the same thing “not using energy”.
View Quote
When you push on the scale, you use energy because you created a force and caused a movement with the force (the bathroom scale actually compresses under your force, and this movement activates the mechanism that moves the dial.)

Once the magnet is stuck onto the fridge, there is no kinetic energy, only force holding it to the fridge.  The mass of the magnet will always be the same regardless of the force or energy acting upon it (until you get near the speed of light, then weird shit starts happening).  The weight of the magnet will depend on the force of gravity at your location.  Mass and weight are independent of what the magnetic force is doing.  I.e., it still weighs xx grams regardless of whether it is stuck to the fridge or sitting in your hand.  It's just that the magnetic force holding it up exceeds the force of the weight trying to pull it down, so it stays stuck to the fridge instead of falling to the floor.  On the other hand, if the the magnetic force holding it against the fridge is less than the weight of the magnet, then it falls to the floor.

It's the pols of the atoms being aligned that makes magnets attract.  "Magnets" have the ability to easily get all the pols lined up to pull together.  I think all matter has magnetism it just not easy or possible to get the pols aligned.

The loss of a Magnets strength would be from those pols getting misaligned.  Maybe through heat cycles or impact/vibrations.

You are using the incorrect term. Magnetic force is holding that magnet there, not magnetic energy.

While the magnet is stuck there it has potential energy.

When you exert enough force to overcome the magnetic pull and let go of it, that potential energy will then be converted into kinetic energy.

It will fall to the ground and the kinetic energy will be converted to heat.

Right, I understand that.  What I'm getting at is that there is movement in the atomic level.  So you do have some level of Velocity for E=1/2*m*v^2.  So at a very micro level you would have some form of kinetic energy.

Beacause the energy you exerted to pull the magnet off the refrigerator is reciprocal to the energy it constantly exerts to stay in place. It's a weird balance of nature
How is it equal? The magnet is sideways actively resisting the pull of gravity. If I leave the magnet up for 2 mins it uses less energy than if I left it up there 2 years?

The refrigerator and the magnet truly love each other.  True love lasts forever, so the magnet will stay stuck with the refrigerator forever.  Just like when people get married.

The state of modern physics is really sad. 99% of physicists are only worried about where they are getting their next pay check. I don't agree with every thing he says, and I'm pretty sure he is "controlled opposition", but I think this guy is right more than he is wrong (or purposely miss-leading) Miles W. Mathis

There are some really big lies in modern physics, there are multiple reasons for this. The biggest one is money. (the second is atheism) e.g They are never going to find "Dark Matter" or "Dark Energy" because it does not exist, but they will continue to get trillions of dollars for the foreseeable future to "look for it". It's really sad. A never ending money pit.

IMHO Electromagnetism "field" and Plasma theory explain things much better. 99.9999% of all visible matter in the universe is plasma (which react to electromagnetic force) yet astrophysicists mostly only pay attention to mass when doing their calculations?!?!? And they leave out the mass of photons in their calculations, simply because they don't know how to properly apply the equations. Their math is wrong and or they don't understand how to use the equations (on accident or on purpose?) so they have to make up wild theories to explain it away, and constantly fudge their numbers with "made up constants, that keep changing". Pants on head retarded.

Another example is the "Cosmological Constant" that they keep having to change every time they get new data? That's called fudging your numbers because your math does not work. Let me give you a hint, when your "constant" if different by orders of magnitude depending on where you are observing, you are doing something wrong.

That whole Anthropomorphic Global warming thing that most people now know is hogwash? Now multiply that by 1,000,000 and you will have some idea of where modern "mainstream" physics is.
