    If you zoom in really hard into how “electricity” works you find it mostly has to do with electromagnetic fields.

    If you zoom in on electromagnetic fields you get quantum mechanics.

    If you zoom in on quantum mechanics you find a lot of disagreement, basically the best scientists today still don’t fully understand our observations.

    So in essence we still don’t really understand electricity.

    At best you get physics that describes phenomena like vanderwaals forces describes the magnet force but they don’t explain how to phenomena exist, how those forces form.

    Or i am just to stupid to understand the current scientific meta. I have always been dissatisfied with how unrevealing physics was and how much questions it never answered while getting a passing grade though.

      The best scientists don’t understand the observations whatsoever. They have some theories they cobbled together to fit the observations, but pretty much no real world evidence to back up the basis of those theories (not sure if I worded that one well). Good example is dark matter. That’s not a thing we know of at all. That’s a made up idea they created to make some math work, because they absolutely cannot account for how much matter in the universe the math says we are supposed to have. In other words, the math says things like gravity just don’t work unless there is a LOT more matter in the universe than what we are able to observe (I might be wrong about the gravity example. I have not read up on this in a while.)

        Gravity is becoming almost a personal vice for me, and i know i am risking to be seen as ridiculous for even saying so.

        Supposedly its one if the fundamental forces, but fundamental in this context means forces not reducable to more “basic” interactions.

        But we already know that gravity is caused by curvatures in spacetime. Which we believe are caused by mass.

        “Spacetime” is not classified as a fundamental force.

        I have personally (internally) started to use the term “gravity effect” because it fits my own model of the universe much better.

        My own model of the universe is by all accounts some dumb ape bs, but as i am coming to terms with, so is most of established human knowledge.

        I have real fears of one day finding myself on the side of science deniers, but a freaking love science…
