Magnetic Mysteries

RIDDLES OF MAGNETISM

"I have been attracted by magnetism (as a scientific field) all the more because of the many riddles. It is full of wonders," Prof. Shogo Ueno said. Ueno’s research has explored the relationship between magnetism and the human body for more than 40 years.

During 2010, this 67-year-old professor became the first Japanese to receive the d'Arsonval Award, the highest prize given by the international Bio-Electro-Magnetic Society (BEMS).

He frequently demonstrates the wonders of magnetism to people visiting his lab. For instance, he uses magnetic force to divide the water in a container, saying half-jokingly, “It's just like what Moses did in the Old Testament.”

Twenty years ago, Ueno devised a method to locally stimulate the brain by placing a figure-eight magnetic coil atop the head. The method, which has also been used to treat depression, has attracted much attention internationally.

“It's important for a researcher to possess an unfettered way of thinking. To do research properly, one should approach life from the point of view of, “I don't know anything,” said Ueno.

It is impossible to fathom all the mysteries of magnetism, but how much more impossible it is to fathom the mysteries of God and His creation!

Above, beneath, around, behind, and in all of these mysteries is that which we scarcely dare speak of: the incredible mystery of God’s eternity, His omnipotence, His omnipresence, His omniscience, His righteousness and His love!

Such knowledge

is too wonderful for me,

too lofty

for me to attain

(Ps. 139:6, NIV).

A God whom we could comprehend, in whom we could find no unfathomable depth of mystery, would not be the God of the Bible!
