      The strongest magnets on earth is the earths magnetic fields which already go from either side of our planet top to bottom. Using the strongest magnets we have made, nothing would happen to be honest they are not strong enough to cause upset and ‘go through the earths core to join together from attraction’ which is probably something more sci-fi like. Hope that helps!

      Some of the strongest magnets on Earth are in a laboratory in Nijmegen in the Netherlands. They’ve had no impact on the Earth but have been used to float a frog in mid-air!

      As the other answers have said, nothing would really happen! We use very strong magnets in facilities like CERN or Diamond Light Source, which are so strong that they can bend beams of particles and maintain speed to be able to get them to emit x-rays, which we can use in experiments!
