  1. 3:25 what’s funny is we have no issue with electric and magnetic forces acting at a distance. But it is equally mysterious.

  2.  @wallacegrommet9343  sure. And I suppose there is the concept where electric charge and magnetism have fields that similarly get told “how to curve and tells things how to move”. It still feels something is missing and mysterious.

  3.  @hedgehog3180  that doesn’t makes sense. I don’t understand how photons magically appear from the EM fields when charged particles move as described by tensors. The electric fields are uniform around the charged particle, so the EM field from that particle propagates in all directions. How does that get quantised into a photon that only travels in one direction? How does a moving charged particle cause photons to be emitted? I understand the EM field model, besides the acting at a distance thing. But I can quite wrap my head around the photon model. There are quite a few dissonances and missing pieces or not well defined pieces with that model.

  4. 27:44 Is it actually a parallel universe? Or just a different place in this universe? Eg the coordinates on the other side of the black hole?
