Yea I only have a bachelor's in physics, can't explain the black magic fuckery that is electromagnetism. Go find someone with a PhD, I bailed to be an engineer

I mean, imagine if friction worked like this. You'd push a heavy object ... and it would move to the left (or maybe the right?) like it was on ice.

FWIW I do have a Physics undergraduate degree. It doesn't help in this case.
