>>11122473One day there was an electron and this electron did not know where to go, so it created an electric field that emanated from itself in all directions. The electric field soon touched everything in the universe, no matter how far it was from the electron. Some stuff was positive, which it liked, so it went in the direction of positivity. Some stuff it did not like, i.e. other electrons with their own electric field, so it went in the opposite direction of negativity. As the little electron moved it figured out that it was only capable of moving in certain places at certain times, when it could "see" its path, or when there was enough activity for it to move.
