>>13721329https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Scholium#%22The_Spirit%22>The General Scholium ends with a mystifying paragraph about a "certain most subtle Spirit, which pervades and lies hid in all gross bodies." It has been largely interpreted as Newton's view and prospect of electricity,[7] a phenomenon of which little was known at the time. Newton describes some attributes of this Spirit and concludes:>But these are things that cannot be explained in a few words, nor are we furnished with that sufficiency of experiments which is required to an accurate determination and demonstration of the laws which this electric spirit operates.In other words, it's a mystery.
