I'm not sure you can classify any of them as 'physical.' We don't really know why gravity is gravity, we just know the effects of it.

Good thing modeling and not explaining is exactly what the physical sciences set out to do.

Right but during Tesla's lifetime, people didn't bother with asking why gravity is gravity. That's the whole point of the thread. And even now, getting a man on Mars is more popular and widespread than theoretical physics, despite the latter being much more useful.

what did he mean by this

That "Why" is a question for metaphysics, and not science.

The accuracy status of our stellar body predictive models is: proved wrong
Since all the predictions were/are wrong and get corrected after the fact with dark matter/energy.

that's clearly wrong because science answers many why questions

At the time, when Tesla stated this, he was referring to wireless technology and considered forces like it as non-physical. We now however, know they are physical.

We already are doing this. The non-physical phenomena he was referring to were gender and sexuality, whose complexities thanks to the efforts of feminist scientists we are finally beginning to fathom.
