But thats just the thing...You feel the effect that other magnet is having on the other and vice versa. You do not feel magnetism yourself. Its a force alright. Electrons are physically in our universe. A Magnetic field is not. What is it? Spooky eh?


Well, what is the relationship between "fields" and "force"?

In electromagnetism, for example, the force is generated by the "curve" of the magnetic field. That is to say, ferromagnetic objects on the edge of the field are "pulled" toward the center because of the delta (or change) in the B field over distance.

If one were in a perfectly homogenous field of any magnetic strenght, it would be invisable to you and any objects in it because there would be no force exerted because the delta B is zero for the domain.

The same things are true of gravity, you can just think of a car rolling down a hill... we don't commonly run into gravity cancelation, well unless we watch UFO youtubez! :)
