Like Charges Repel, Unlike Charges Attract

This is what happens when your brain encounters progressively more elegant formulations of electromagnetism! Starting with the basic Coulomb's law and Lorentz force, then leveling up to Maxwell's equations, then tensor notation, and finally reaching the galaxy-brain enlightenment of the wave equation for the electromagnetic potential. The increasing brain illumination perfectly captures that euphoric moment when you realize all these complicated equations are just different ways of saying "opposites attract." Physics professors spend years making students suffer through vector calculus when they could've just used dating apps as examples!
