For me, the weirdest thing is that when a charged particle moves through a magnetic field, it experiences a force perpendicular to the direction of motion; this results in the particle tracing out a curved path through the field. Like ... what the actual fuck? Why in hell would the universe be this way?

That's... huh...

Hey!!! Physicists!!! Can we get your input???

(Unless you're a physicist, in which case... fuck)

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
