It's just little green men, helpers of the Purple Rabbit god shoving energy around to the socket in your wall and beyond that into the PC or laptop you're working on right now. Give those poor kids in school a chance to hear out this alternative for regular science and decide for themselves who to believe.
BTW my neighbour is starting a new religion also, it denies gravity. It is all a delusion of the inaccurate human mind as far as he's concerned. The great part is that I can have my belief and my neighbour can have another one and we would be equally right. Absolute truth, isn't it a beautiful thing!
My religion rejects the concept of mass. We do, however believe that the electron is a viable part of our ecosystem. The little green men are laborious in their work. Physics is the work of the Robot King, who wants nothing more than your eternal brain fluids. It's all written in the holy book, which looks surprisingly similar to a napkin with some crayon doodlings of a robot and little green men. I don't think children should be taught this primarily, but I hold a strong belief that kids should learn the controversy.
