We don't even understand why matter has mass.

We don't understand exactly what the force fields are (em, strong, weak, gravity), and why they interact with certain matter at a distance.

Think about, we call it a field, because it is a region in which some force exists that can apply a force to matetr without actually being matter itself.

Those fields have no mass, no matter, are invisible (foreget photons for now)...yet they have the power to "move mountains" of matter.

We know like charges repel, but we don't know why. etc etc

Yup, I am a electrician, and it is the fascination with it that caused me to get into the field. There is a great deal of effects that we use, and don't understand, like why the electrons flow on the outside circumference of the wire?. And of course magnetism that we have formulas for, yet only use something we don't understand.

The strange thing is that we have this same lack of understanding in most every field of work, including medicine and drugs for a great example.

These guys are making pills that create certain effects and don't have a clue as to why.

Physics is just one of many.....????????
