I thought I understood...

Apparently, light is magnetic.  Or something.  I'm not really sure.

What I do know is that Faraday used magnets to rotate a beam of light.  And I think we're going to get to do that in class this afternoon.

To repeat: he used magnets to rotate a beam of light.

Sweet baby jesus, electricity and magnetism are wonderfully, awesomely, fascinatingly and jaw-droppingly weird properties.
