It seems those are playing a much bigger role in the forming of galaxies and stars and the 'big bang' in the latest research.

Electromagnets should work too of course.

Any aliens here that have used it?
Earth has a magnetic field, and nobody uses magnets to drag boats or
aircraft around.
Earth *is* a magnet. It is pushed by the magnetic fields of the sun and
galaxies. That's what makes the earth go round the sun.
That's why they're worried about magnetic pole reversal.
We'll start orbiting the sun in the opposite direction.
Or maybe it will just make time go backwards. Who knows?
