love this. understanding electricity in terms of the simple equations of say, Ohm's laws, is also like understand chemistry through the lens of balanced chemical equations : it's a mathematical tool that seems to work for our particular perspective. It obviously doesn't reveal anything about all of the quantum interactions that lie beneath all of it. Maybe the same could be said for gravitation.. I don't really understand any of it, to be sure, but I can certainly appreciate the 'unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics' in that it allows to at least make this stuff useful at multiple viewpoints; macro and quantum (at least as far as we can go with the latter).
