    I assume it's not really the world's strongest magnetic field, or that what's meant is the world's strongest magnetic field covering a certain, small, area that isn't the whole Earth.

    I mean, if it really is the world's strongest magnetic field, then presumably compasses all over the world massively malfunctioned when it was turned on.
