>I'll tell you what to do, try to hold this 1KG magnet at arms length for say 2 hours, you will soon find out how much work is being expended, you will probably drop it after about 20mins due to fatigue, there is a large flow of energy.
Sure, you can waste energy this way. You might also conceive of something blowing an object up, using up energy.
Or you can put a pillar or some other supporting object, and don't use any energy.
>You say "there is simply another force involved", where does the energy come from that powers this force.
No energy, as long as there is no movement.
Don't confuse energy with force - they are two quite different concepts, although the are related:
Energy = force x distance
You don't need energy simply to maintain a force.
