I think it’s more fundamental than that. He could talk about relativity and electrostatics and particle spin, but at some level the electromagnetic force is called a “fundamental force” because it’s one of the postulates we just kinda accept about the universe.

To clarify: Feynman could explain it, but can’t dumb it down enough for us mortals.

I want Feynman for president.
I don’t care how, or why, or that he’s no longer here. Anything is better than this bozo.

Magnetism is complex and difficult to reduce down succinctly, but the real issue is that at the very base level, “why does magnetism exist” is no more explainable than “why do particles have spin?”
They didn’t know it, but ICP were asking an epistemological question.
I looked for a non-yt source, but the best explainer for how magnetism in everyday objects is built up from quantum mechanics that I could find easily was this by minute physics: m.youtube.com/watch?v=hFAOXdXZ5TM
