How Electricity Actually Works

@barts -

     Inescapable FACT:  No one understands exactly how electricity works.

     That’s why there’s so much Electrical THEORY.

     The number of Wiki-Scientists on these pages, attempting to win the IG-Nobel Prize in Pseudo-Physics, is always amusing.

     Whenever some highly educated person actually does discover exactly how electricity functions, they’ll be lauded by the scientific community, will have solved some of the disparities between Relativity and Quantum Mechanics, receive a Nobel and we’ll hear about it.

     Newton’s THEORIES were largely superseded by Einstein and Bohr's.   Then came Feynman’s.

     For now; none of you can absolutely prove your statements (theories), regarding electricity, fuses, wires, or anything else, as regards our systems.

     The following articles illustrate my point:

     Feynman was and will remain, my favorite lecturer (yeah: I'm that old).

     He mentioned often (and: I took to heart) his favorite Rule of Life: "Never stop learning!"

     For all his genius, he never grew overly confident in his beliefs.    The perfect obverse to the Dunning-Kruger sufferer.

     ie:  “I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing. I think it is much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers that might be wrong.”

     and: “I have approximate answers, and possible beliefs, and different degrees of certainty about different things, but I’m not absolutely sure of anything.”

     Tesla is probably my favorite innovator, who (despite the incessant, projectile vomit, from his day's naysayers), took the World, kicking and screaming, into the 20th century, with his inventions.

                                                  His thoughts: 

     “Anti-social behavior is a trait of intelligence in a world full of conformists.”

     “All that was great in the past was ridiculed, condemned, combatted, suppressed, only to emerge all the more powerfully, all the more triumphantly from the struggle.”

@the likes of czarivey, djones51, etal-

                                             Electrons flow?

     Try a little update there, at least to the last (20th) Century’s theories, Sparky!

                                         AGAIN: THEORIES!

Tesla said the following on the theory of relativity in a 1935 New York Times interview: "The theory, wraps all these errors and fallacies and clothes them in magnificent mathematical garb which fascinates, dazzles and makes people blind to the underlying errors.

Someone got the last laugh, and it was not Tesla. Einstein was both confident and humble. Tesla not so much.

The number of Wiki-Scientists on these pages, attempting to win the IG-Nobel Prize in Pseudo-Physics, is always amusing.

I believe the Wiki-Scientist award goes to those who post the most links and use the fewest of their own words.

I will say one thing though. Within a framework of audio, 99.99% if not 100% of this discussion is meaningless since 100+ year old physical models are far more than sufficient to describe anything happening unless you are the guy working on the semiconductor processes and device physics underpinning the chips and discrete semiconductor components no matter what you may read on a forum or in marketing literature which makes all of this an academic discussion in a non-academic forum.
