SUMMARY
The origin of charge in modern physics is explained through U(1) gauge symmetry, which parallels the Higgs Field theory that successfully elucidates the origin of mass. Charge, like mass, is a fundamental property of particles and exhibits quantization, drawing similarities between electrical and gravitational forces. The discussion highlights the established understanding of charge within the framework of contemporary physics.
