      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.

        Well, shit hahaha but yeah, that would be weird as hell. I bet it has something to do with how electrons get aligned, but… I don’t know much beyond electrons moving between their shells

      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
