If you never watched the clip about Dr. Feynman explaining the nature of a "why" question please watch this. It is probably one of the most important things a critical thinker could ever know if they dont already:
@freemo Didn't he also say that if you can't explain something simply, you don't understand it?

LOL I think he makes a good point though. It isnt that we dont understnad how they work, its more that we are talking about a fundemental force.
just think about the "how does it work" question in general.. what you are asking is for someone to break a system down into more elementary components.. So how do you explain something when it is already the most elementary component you can describe?
@freemo @mate there's a long history of people saying "this thing <x> is fundamental and cannot be explained, only taken as axiomatic", followed by 50 years later people proving it to not be fundamental.
