"Vader -uses- the force to choke people" -Okay, you understand what Vader uses the force for..that's still not an understanding of the force (it's quite a bit more to do with Vader)..if you knew -how- the force choked people that would be an understanding of the force.
That's my understanding of the force. Of course, exactly what is the physical mechanism which handles this interaction with the force medium is unknown... in our Universe there's no such thing as "force", so our physics would probably not apply to the Star Wars Universe.
