Just don't perpetuate the myth that magnetic field lines actually exist. It's just a model that we use to visualize fields. What you see in this video is magnetism induced in particles, then they stick together end-to-end in lines, then the lines repel each other. Not field lines

I know very well about the quantized field theory of EM. Though I do find your comment to be philosophically naive. The photon exchange you’re referring to is a model as well.

You’re making this REALLY fun. I got deeper into physics later in life, primarily because as much as I loved science and math, school just sucked. I love that there are people like you out here sharing knowledge in a fun and easy way, so much so that my kids are loving it, too.

Why not just put the magnet under a piece of paper and sprinkle the filings on top? Easier, no complx tech and you don’t get filings stuck to the magnet.

The shown way presents the 3-dimensional structure of the magnetic field of the magnet. While your suggested way is simpler, it only reveals the magnetic field lines on the (2-dimensional) plane.
