Protomagnetic caused by protons and neutromagnetism caused by neutrons give off their own seperate waves varying in different degrees of force. This is why gravity does not exist as one 1 single force but is the collection of magnetic forces all interacting and leveling out together.
There's also the problem of the magnetic force of the planet itself pulling at the wood which collectively will be much stronger than the magnet.

Something like wood is producing a very low amount of electromagnetic force

Well, it's 2.4 billion light years away, so 2.4 billion years ago.
Scientists have apparently broken the universe’s speed limit. For generations, physicists believed there is nothing faster than light moving through a vacuum — a speed of 186,000 miles per second. But in an experiment in Princeton, N.J., physicists sent a pulse of laser light through cesium vapor so quickly that it left the chamber before it had even finished entering. The pulse traveled 310 times the distance it would have covered if the chamber had contained a vacuum. Researchers say it is the most convincing demonstration yet that the speed of light — supposedly an ironclad rule of nature — can be pushed beyond known boundaries, at least under certain laboratory circumstances. “This effect cannot be used to send information back in time,” said Lijun Wang, a researcher with the private NEC Institute. “However, our experiment does show that the generally held misconception that ‘nothing can travel faster than the speed of light’ is wrong.” The results were published in Thursday’s issue of the journal Nature. The achievement has no practical application right now, but experiments like this have generated considerable excitement in the small international community of theoretical and optical physicists. Previously Thought Impossible “This is a breakthrough in the sense that people have thought that was impossible,” said Raymond Chiao, a physicist at the University of California at Berkeley who was not involved in the work. Chiao has performed similar experiments using electric fields.

This is what has never sat well with me. Can someone explain why now. In other words if the particular telescope was observing this (invented say 1 million years ago) would that mean the quasar was 2.4 billion less 1 million years old?
We keep hearing this time and again and I suspect all you posters know more about astrophysics than me .
Is there really a true correlation between perception and reality?

Basically no gravity=no limits. If the temperature are so hot in trillions degrees, thats mean that gravity are minimal at that point
Gravity is not magnetism. You can test it yourself at home: place a bag with 1 pound of sand near a compass. Then keep on filling the bag with more and more sand so to increase its weight. Check if the compass needle reacts.

why dont we bob up and down like the tides.
We are after all mostly water based

We all know how magnetism works - that's not the point I am raising.
You said gravity is magnetism.
If the two are equivalent, then a detector (here a compass needle) should point at the center of the Earth, since gravitational pull would equate magnetic pull.
But observations show that compass needles point not at gravitational field sources.
Therefore, gravity is not magnetism.
Water bodies are very large, so the Moon can pull on more particles and have more leverage than it does on us wee humans. Even the ground can have tides. Yup, the solid ground itself. But ground tides are not as impressive as water tides, because liquid matter is much less rigid than solid matter and so it bends up more easily.
