The iron in oxyhemoglobin is thought to have a formal oxidation state of +3, with the bound oxygen molecule being reduced to the superoxide anion. Antiferromagnetic coupling of the unpaired electron in low-spin Fe(III) with the unpaired electron of the superoxide anion gives rise to a net spin of 0, resulting in the observed diamagnetism.

Basically, the video isn't entirely accurate.

Geordi La Forge? What are you doing here?
I didn't know I was watching an episode of Star Trek!
Not a physicist so this is probably way off, but if you had ridiculously strong magnets couldn't you push a human away using the diamagnetism?
Or evil scientist version, using two of the magnets to squish someone from the magnetic force?
Or is there a limit to how much magnetic force something can have before it stops being efficient?

I swear at a point if the magnetic is strong enough you get pulled apart?

I think the relation is based on how large the device is, so you'd need a really big magnet to do this

As a matter of fact, yes.

I thought it was well known that you could levitate living things with strong magnets, it's super hilarious

I firmly believe that frogs make everything 10 times funnier when they're involved. If it had been any other similarly sized animal it wouldn't have been as hilarious. Mouse? Boring. Chick? Cute, but not that amusing. Beetle? More cool than anything else.
But put a frog in there? Bam, instant comedy. Frogs are the key to humour, I tell ya.

Data, perhaps you should turn off your emotion chip.
I have trouble taking a video that pixelates a container of blood seriously.

It's only the thumbnail, the experiment is not censored. Before he shows the blood he lets people know they're about to look at blood, so if it makes them feel uneasy they should stop watching.

The sight of blood can make certain people literally sick. Pixelating the thumbnail gives them warning.

There are people that can't physically stand the sight of blood. If my mother sees blood (specifically a lot of it) she WILL become light headed and WILL pass out.
She absolutely cannot watch Slasher movies because of this.
Good to know, i was actually wondering. One day i had to deliver heavy equipements and components inside a smelting facilities, roughly 800 cells of about 500 000A, one of the worker was guiding me to reverse in the cells room with a semi, and he was not thinking about the magnetic effect on most machines so i went too close then truck went crazy, the gauges, most light bulbs, radio or rather all electronics was blinking, spinning, ticking etc. then quickly the engine was running rough, for a moment i though the truck was fucked. And if you hold something like a crowbar and go too close to a cell, it will rip away from your hand and stick to it, id rather not resist and let it go.
Yet there are lots of peoples working next to these, 12 hours a day, i was kinda worried for them.

HeadHumpy is just JohnnyMo1 in reverse (sort of): He takes semi-complicated things and explains them even [I][B]more[/B][/I] complicatedly.

If you take johnnymo1, add more qualifications, change the subject to org chem, you basically get headhumpy.
Now we need to find a biologist to complete the triage of nerds

The video itself did a pretty good job I think, I was correcting a minor point they made about why oxyhemoglobin is repelled by magnetic fields. The video stated that the iron in oxyhemoglobin has [I]no[/I] unpaired electrons, but most evidence we have suggests that the iron actually has [I]one[/I] unpaired electron. However, the oxygen bound to the iron [I]also[/I] has one unpaired electron, and those two pair up and cancel each other out.

I'll admit I went full nerdgasm in my first reply for shits and giggles :v:
