[00:00:00]Feynman on the invisible force running your life. Richard Feynman once said that if all scientific knowledge were lost and only one sentence could be passed on to future generations, it should be that everything is made of atoms constantly moving and interacting.

[00:00:15]And one of the biggest reasons those atoms can interact at all is electromagnetism.

[00:00:20]Right now, invisible electric and magnetic fields are everywhere around you.

[00:00:25]They're the reason your phone works, why light exists, why your heart sends signals through your body, why atoms hold together, why [music] chemistry happens, and even why you never actually touch anything.

[00:00:39]That's the strange part.

[00:00:41]When you place your hand on a table, the atoms in your hand are repelling the atoms in the table through electromagnetic forces.

[00:00:49]What feels solid is actually invisible forces pushing against each other.

[00:00:53]So, the world that seems so [music] physical and solid is mostly interactions between fields we can't see.

[00:01:00]Feynman loved how mysterious this was.

[00:01:03]He admitted [music] that even physicists describe what electromagnetism does more easily than why it exists at all.

[00:01:10]The deeper science goes, the more reality starts to feel unbelievable.
