When was this written? Also, it's not entirely untrue to say that we know what electromagnetic force does, but not what causes it. They say it's a 'fundamental force', which is basically way of saying we can't further reduce it to explain in terms of other stuff. We don't know what any of the fundamental forces (electromagnetism, gravity, and the strong and weak nuclear forces) really are - we can only describe their effects on the world with maths ('what they do')

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
- Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
- Keep it rooted (on topic).
- No spam.
- Infographics welcome, get schooled.
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

It was apparently first printed in 1976 according to this page I found discussing it.
Are they dense?? Electricity comes from the power outlet. Everyone knows that
I somehow have the feeling that this is simply ragebait... if not, well... can someone please take away the printing press from those people? Please?
Index Tome 5
Meanwhile banned Books in Schools (Dangerous stuff)
I'm understanding more and more how a stupid pedo_asshole can be voted as president by so much people.
This just in, no one has ever seen lightning, and if you say you have, we’ll have to burn you at the stake to protect the children.
Found a site with some more fun excerpts:

And with the dismantling of the US Department of education, things are going to get a lot, lot worse.
Used to live across the street from a Freewill Baptist Church.
Always curious about other beings mindsets, went and attended a service.
Walked through the main door and felt the trope of crickets chirping. No one greeted me, said hello, welcome, nothing. I was stared at but never acknowledged.
The service was strictly talking. No hyms or singing.
The sermon told me they are creationists that believe "Singing and dancing lead to temptation".
Point is their "educational materials" were horrifying. Mostly just fear mongering and advising self segregation from reality.
Electricity is the flow of electrons, (negative charge,) caused by one substance gaining electrons, and one substance losing electrons in a redox reaction. The thing that is oxidized loses electrons, and the substance that is reduced gains electrons. Oxidation is visible in nature via Rust. Water and oxygen gain electrons that are lost by the pure iron creating an iron oxide that is reddish brown. (Batteries have a + and - sign, hooking them up into a loop with a device creates the electricity that powers the device. Everyday batteries utilize zinc and a magnese oxide, but there are many other types of materials that are used in other types of batteries.) 25 years of this Christian faith homeschool bullshit; pretty clear why these dipshits voted trump.
Why is there a 4th book? The way this book teaches, they don't even need a class.
I have seen electric, it’s blue and I have even felt it, it hurts. Also I know where it comes from, it comes from the walls, there’s an electric sockets for it.
