what exactly is electricity

I watched a ted-ed (https://youtu.be/8EUy_82IChY#t=369), and the guy said “nobody knows what it is” so is it true? Do we not know what electricity is?

We definitely know what it is although it his highly debated whether or not electrons flow from a negative to positive or positive to negative. They flow from a live line (a cable with voltage) to a 0 volt or ground line for the reason mentioned above. We even know and can measure with cheap tools how many electrons flow through a single point in a line and how it is affected by a load of ohms or the electrical pressure of voltage. It’s highly controllable, measurable, and not terribly complicated.
