Greetings I am a new member, very impressed with the posts on this website. Look forward to learning much from everyone!

No. Any sentiment for a machine that we create, design, or otherwise have a hand in bringing into existence is a reflection of, or derives from, the very human urge to reproduce. In esssence, any machine we make, whether in the lab or on our kitchen table, is in effect our "child". The same is true for any pet that we get attached to, like a dog or a cat. Living children spring from our bodies. Mechanical children spring from our minds. Both sources are intimately connected with who and what we are at the deepest level. Hence, we feel connected to our progeny in a very substantial and quite understandable way.

Possibly one must consider the Planck distance implication when trying to resolve this problem. At the Planck scale, the distance dimension breaks down, or rather reaches a limit to where distance can no longer be classically reduced or "cut in half". One would then have to travel "around" that last infinitesimily small Planck distance unit, something which we do every day when we or anything else in our macro world engages in motion. Otherwise, we could never move at all. This movement, then, would of necessity require travelling through a much smaller 5th,6th,7th., etc., dimension, something which at present is theoretical, but which is nevertheless considered viable in string theory and other multi-dimensional theories. In short, you WILL eventually reach the source of the magnetic field, and then the limit to its power will also be reached.
