Wait until they find out how magnets are made and that you can reverse poles. That will be a discovery.

Or the fact that most magnets have two poles and a magnet with one pole is an abboration gained by extreme forces applied against it.

Magnets are obviously magical items imbued by God with their magical properties at the time of creation exactly 2044 years ago.
