"Electrons in the plasma move in tight little counterclockwise circles because of the field. Protons move in much wider clockwise circles"... My physics is rusty, but is the trick here that these spinning charges create a magnetic field opposite in direction & equal in magnitude to the permanent magnet?

Along those lines, not too long ago there was an article in The New Yorker discussing how libraries are destroying or giving away their vast archives of newspapers. Without such hard copies, we make ourselves vulnerable to such attacks.

AFAIK, this will be after making copies of the paper (acidic, tears easily, archival blah blah blah) to microfilm, which lasts a lot longer. Digital storage is nice for searching, not so nice for remaining readable for long periods of time. (IANAArcivist, but my friend is.)

I pray to god this doesn't mean what I think it could. I, personally, never drink the same beer twice.
