Absence Quote by Pieter Zeeman
“In the absence of a magnetic field the period of all these oscillations is the same. But as soon as the electron is exposed to the effect of a magnetic field, its motion changes.”

Source Scientific paper: Zeeman Effect, 1896
Magnetic fields alter electron motion, changing oscillation periods; without them, periods stay constant.
In simple terms: Magnetism changes electron behavior.
Consider magnetic influences in experiments.
