‘For one thing, as far as I can tell, nobody knows how a magnet can move a piece of metal without touching it. And for another—more astonishing still, perhaps—nobody seems to care.’
(Via The New Shelton Wet/Dry.)
An entertaining read. But surely there are more examples of actions from a distance? Light? Although that IS explained in physics as waves/light’particles’ emanating from a body. Radiation? Just another kind of light. Magnetism? I don’t know… but after reading this I AM curious!
