Why does water funnel down when you stir the base with a magnetic stir bar? Is there a liquid that funnels up if you did this?

    magnetism has nothing to do with this.

    It's simple centripetal force pushing the water to the side as it rotates. Same force that causes a bucket of water to not spill if you spin it around you on a rope.
