Alphaphoenix -- How does electricity find the path of least resistance?

(1/5) > >>

aetherist:
AlphaPhoenix (Brian) is again flogging his silly ideas re electrons making electricity.
"How does electricity find the path of least resistance?"

yfayula:
Same way you get out of backed up traffic on the highway. You take the fastes or quickest road out of it. It's more like a connected highway, if there is a proper polarity in the circuit, then electrons are going to look for the least resistive path to get to the positive terminal from the negative. If you look also quantum physic it will explain to you in a more closed up detailed way.

TimFox:
I suggest you look up the general topic of "variational principles" in physics.
Other examples include "principle of least action" (with a specific definition of "action"), Fermat's principle of least time (in geometrical optics), and the "Lagrangian method" in classical mechanics (see https://scholar.harvard.edu/files/david-morin/files/cmchap6.pdf).

We can see that it does, so the question is how does your aetherwork explain the result?

It doesn't. It'll be a word salad with a dressing of pseudo-scientific babble, and very definitely NO equations or anything remotely testable.
