We as a species don't know a tenth of a percent about anything? Pretty pessimistic view of Homosapiens.
How Electricity Actually Works
In November of last year I posted a Vertasium YT vid titled "The Big Misconception About Electricity". Well it caused quite a stir and like an arachnid had many legs many of which attempted to draw A'gonrs into the poison fangs!
Well, here is the follow-up to that original vid which caused quite a stir in the "intellectual" community as well.
Vertasium "How Electricity Actually Works".
This does have implications for our audio cabling...

I am just an engineer. I worked chemical, electrical, and mechanical engineering. Part of my career I designed Mobile Electric Power equipment, I designed generators. Not just any generator, but one that was hard to detect. The technology is referred to as Low Observable. There are some interesting and amusing arguments regarding E and B fields and their uses in this thread. Some of what I read here makes me seriously wonder about our education system. |
@barts - You mentioned not knowing a tenth of a percent. The percentage of what we know about our universe, is recognized by Scientists/Physicists as 4-5%. Multiple Billions have been/are being spent, in an effort to find out what exactly comprises the other 96%, of the matter and energy, Physicists know surrounds us. Einstein recognized there was a whole lot of stuff missing, when he came up with his Math on gravity and considered it his greatest blunder (having to add Lambda/the Cosmological Constant) Too bad he didn't live to see that proven! There are some interesting theories, as to what's going on around us: https://science.time.com/2013/02/20/telescope-to-hunt-for-missing-96-of-the-universe/

That depends on how you look at it. "We still do not know one thousandth of one percent of what nature has revealed to us." (Albert Einstein) "We don’t know a millionth of one percent about anything." (Thomas Edison) |
