directional cables?

I will now prove that the definition you are hanging your hat on describes motion in one direction.

As I said previously, at any given time, the motion IS IN ONE DIRECTION. Not in two directions, or five directions or a dozen directions. But ONE DIRECTION.

While the SPECIFIC direction may eventually change, you're still left with motion in ONE DIRECTION at any given time.

Let me get my battery, polarity switch, 100 feet of wire and light bulb again. And I'd like to ask you two simple questions.

I flip the switch one way for ten seconds.

First question: Was there any "current" "flowing" during that ten seconds?

Then I flip the switch the other way for ten seconds.

Second question: Was there any "current" "flowing" during that ten seconds?

I hate to say it but I'm beginning to believe you are an idiot, you are just so pig headed that you can't admit you are wrong, or you are having fun at my expense.

While the SPECIFIC direction may eventually change, you're still left with motion in ONE DIRECTION at any given time.

That is hilarious. Everything I just stated has to do with continuous motion in one direction with no reversal and no reference to a change at ANY point in time. ALL periodic motion has "motion in ONE DIRECTION at any given time." For that matter all motion fits that description since you can't be moving more than one direction at any given time. Using that notion to defend your position is ridiculous.

You have yet to come up with anything that links periodic motion and flow.

Every single example I gave including the definition that YOU used to try and prove YOUR point indicated a single direction that never, ever, reversed direction. Nothing ever alluded to the possibility that the stream reversed at any point in time. Nothing even hinted that the direction eventually changed.

You wanted to get back to basics yet you can't refute any of these points.

I challenge you to find one that doesn't describe it as making progress and moving in one direction and instead talks about moving back and forth.

Give me one example besides AC where flow is used to describe periodic motion.

Give me an example of a stream of anything that vibrates about a fixed point.

If it wasn't so much fun to point out the idiocy of your position I would have dropped this long ago. Yes, that makes me a petty person but if you can't make fun of internet idiots what else is there?

I'm sorry. That was cruel. Here is what you should do. Take a day or 2 to absorb what I just said. Realize that everything I said makes perfect sense and everything you've brought up is a silly convolution of the facts. Realize that I laid down some specific challenges that you can't possibly refute. Realize that I systematically destroyed your arguments about definite direction.

Until you can specifically address each of the points I brought up in this and my last post you should save yourself the embarrassment and just drop it.

I will now bow to my mentor Almarg.

I asked two simple questions which required no more than two simple answers. Instead of answers to those questions, I get personal attacks.

I'll try one more time.

I flip the switch one way for ten seconds.

First question: Is there any "current" "flowing" during that ten seconds?

I flip the switch the other way for ten second.

Second question: Is there any "current" "flowing" during that ten seconds?

Like I've been saying all along, give me one example besides AC where flow is used to describe periodic motion.

Just so you won't have any more excuses to avoid answering the two simple questions I put to you.
