Hello,
I am currently studying electrostatics and for the moment we are taking as axioms the facts that there are two charges and opposite charges attract and like charges repel (which is of course easily demonstrated by experiment so I have no issue with this, especially as I am just starting).
But I was curious if the deeper (if that is even the right word) theories of physics have an explanation for this phenomena or do they too take as axioms that some particles (perhaps finer than proton, neutron and electron) have differing charges that attract and repel.
Just curious.
