It's the Feynamn "Fun to Imagine" video / series. This bit is wher ehe says that about magnets: ▶ this video
Read his book or watch Feynman explain [1][2] for one of many answers. Pondering these questions and learning about them gives joy, excitement, peace of mind and is my great hobby. So much so that I recently purchased 21 hectare of mountain for $9000 and emigrated there so I can study erosion (geology), wildlife, flowers and forest (biology and evolution) and dig for fossils in my own garden. And still read science and hacker news online. Feel free to come and visit, either camping or residing in a tiny house on my mountain[3]. I'll play science and nature guide in the Sierra de Cazorla, Segura and other mountain ranges.

People are also missing the complete video, its not just about magnets, it’s about why imagination can be fun. Here he just demonstrates why you can’t always turn to similarities in the classical world: ▶ this video
Obligatory link to Feynman's description of how a train stays on the tracks around a corner, having its wheels on fixed axles: ▶ this video
