  In 1965 Duwez \textit{et al.} reported having generated an amorphous, stable
phase of palladium-silicon in the region 15 to 23 atomic percent (at. \%)
silicon. These pioneering efforts have led to the development of solid
materials that are now known as Bulk Metallic Glasses (BMG). In 2019 we
discovered, computationally, that bulk amorphous Pd becomes magnetic, and so
does porous/amorphous Pd. Puzzled by our results we undertook the study of
several solid binary systems in the Pd-rich zone; in particular, the study of
the glassy metallic alloy $a$-Pd$_{100-c}$Si$_{c}$, for $0 \leq c \leq 22$,
($c$ in at. \%) to see what their topology is, what their electronic properties
are and to inquire about their magnetism. Here we show that this metallic glass
is in fact magnetic in the region $0 \leq c < 15$. Collaterally we present
$\alpha$ and $\beta$ magnetization curves that manifest the net magnetic moment
observed. We also discuss the topology and the position of the first few peaks
of the pair distribution functions, which agrees well with experiment. The BMGs
produced experimentally so far are limited in size, but despite this
limitation, recent industrial efforts have developed some useful devices that
may revolutionize technology.
