Actually - what would you accept as a valid answer to how something works if it's not math?
(genuinely curious - I think this is a difficult question, I have some ideas of my own, but I'd rather hear yours first).
Well, something akin to how I can describe how an internal combustion engine works without using any math.
But my post asking how magnets work was a reference to an internet meme; I was attempting to demonstrate through humor the fact that no matter what answer you give to the question about how gravity works, you will spawn new questions.
If I could prove to you that God exists, even that would prompt the question, "So how does the supernatural work?"
