What about the particles that randomly pop in and out of existence?
If one thinks about it, electromagnetism is really bizarre.
How can two electrons actually repel each other? Sure, they do, but it’s practically witchcraft.
Magnetism is even more weird.

I like to imagine they're somehow just an observational error, otherwise the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-electron_universe is real and we get a universe-sized '—All You Zombies—'

Indeed. I think it's something we can only intuit, I don't think we've really gotten to the bottom of it. Trying to push two electrons together feels like trying to push a car up a hill, or pressing on springs. The force you fight against is just there and you feel its resistance
