question then
you, when corporal have a "measurable" magnetic field surrounding your body. Some people's are higher than others. What happens to that field when you suck your last breathe? goes somewhere because it isnt measurable by your corpse any more. Please explain where it goes and why.
thanx,
bill

My stab at it.
The magnetic field from the body has 3 components: 1) an intrinsic contribution from the magnetic moments of the magnetic atoms (like iron, chromium, etc.) and 2) the magnetic field that results from changing intrinsic electrical activity (firing of neurons, etc.); 3) magnetic fields generated by induced electrical activity due to exposure to external electric or magnetic fields (e.g. MRI scans, lightning, etc.).
Maxwell's Equations tell us that electrical currents give rise to magnetic fields.
Quantum Mechanics tell us how to calculate the magnetic fields from atoms.
There's nothing mysterious about the magnetic field from a living body - AFAIK. When it dies, the contribution from the magnetic atoms remains. The contribution from the intrinsic electrical activity ceases when the intrinsic electrical activity ceases.
In each case, the fields are very, very small, compared to the magnetic field of the Earth.
Cheers,
Scott.

since energy transforms rather than dissapate
and the loss of the field suggests that "some" energy has transformed/transferred. There is Peter's wooly booger, it is measurable and defined.

The field lines collapse...
... and generate a negligible amount of heat.
Where's the mystery in that?

no mystery, if thats the explaination
the field may just go elsewhere.

Odd question.
Your brain's electrical activity will cause some magnetic effect (although very small) and when your brain stops, it stops.

Agreed -
Well, add the whole nervous system...

Ah, geez.
Back in the old days, they weighed people just before and just after death, and so came to an entirely accurate measurement of the weight of the soul (which obviously departed at the moment of expiration). Turns out it doesn't weigh much, but hey, the weight changed a tiny amount! There must have been something that left the body! Let's see these dumb rationals explain that! --\r\nYou cooin' with my bird?

Up here that'll run you at least 65$CDN
and maybe all the way up to eighty five, depending on where you live and the means of rendition...

is that for the good BC stuff or the ONT ragweed?

It's not ragweed anymore
You know, there's this university in SE Ont called Guelph, which is the premier agricultural school in Canada, and in the eighties a huge cohort went through it specifically to learn how to breed weed, and the results have been spectacular; it's thanks to those guys that the weed is so much more potent now.
