Have you ever paused and went in depth with the things surrounding us? if so, surely you realized the creativity and beauty, and probably wondered how all this amazing system 'works'.
Throughout time, men and women have been in pursuit for knowledge; to understand our surroundings, so the scientists take basic information, or constants and build on them, and go deeper. So deep that we've gotten into sub-atomic levels.
Now, my question is, have any of you guys ever wondered about the basic of the basics (AKA the constants that we rely on)? for example, we deal with number in our every day life; we add, subtract, multiply, divide, power up...etc, but what are 'numbers'. Some might say it's a method that we use in order to do something in our lives, just like how we use cm, kg, ton for amounts, but what comes through my mind, is what is that thing itself. Another example that might clear this up is energy, we all know energy. Ask a little kid, an ignorant man, a dying man..etc and they all know the concept of it, and when taking a scientific definition energy is "the amount of work that can be performed by a force", but what is that thing that makes something, well do something(or nothing, in the case of a none moving object)? Also, we label charges as negative and positive to differentiate their act of attractiveness, but then again what are 'charges', and why do they 'attract'?
Some might find that these are basic physical questions, but I'm asking about the root basics, the stuff we rely on to explain other stuff, and how they work.
Sorry if I sounded a little weird while typing, but my point is kinda hard to deliver.
