Future of cables!

I know very little about cable technology & even less about quantum physics. I read this & immediately thought (10+yrs down the road) this would upend cable tech: efficiency, clarity, & probably a bunch of stuff I don’t even know about that goes into cable science.

So, say hello to your new 2030 $70k cables. I’m curious what other people think.

@djones51 You quoted from Wikipedia without understanding. Energy is delivered on the outside of the cable, but in case of coaxial cable it is limited to space inside. In coaxial cable whole energy flows thru dielectric between inner wire and the shield. Also, picture in Wikipedia shows how this energy flux gets to load.


In the case of a fluid metal, the entire cross section and length is like a foamy permeable skin. There is no definable junction or surface.

Hence the comments from me abut it acting like a plasma. Ionic, as in charged. As that is the influence aspect of the load.

A wholly different beast than wire and it requires quantum aspects or fully blown QED to describe it.

It is far more complementary to the signal and compatible with it... than any mere (and primitive, incomplete, ill thought out) wire could ever possibly be. :)
djones51, your probably wasting your time. I would guess the individuals you are addressing were too busy studying the really interesting quantum aspects of wire, or the intricacies of wire directionality or the dynamics of little springs, to have experienced the volume levels of a strip club. 
djones51,  energy flux follows the wire inside of the speaker until there is a voltage drop - then power is absorbed (look at the wikipedia picture).  Wire itself has some resistance, so part of energy flux is absorbed by the wire (power loss - read "Resistive Dissipation" chapter).  I know it sounds strange, but energy delivered by the current would be even stranger, since exactly the same current (electric charge) comes back to the source.


So far you haven’t lost me except where speakers don’t get their energy from the cable but from energy outside a cable. You still haven’t explained why is it necessary to connect the copper or banana plug or whatever we use to the speaker since the cable doesn’t carry the energy but it’s carried outside the cable. Everything you said I can follow but with a bit of trouble I need to look up a few things but what you said below you have never explained. 

Energy is delivered to speaker by electromagnetic field outside of the cable.
