| How the electricity spreads in wires? — it’s not over! |

I’m sure you recall Veritasium’s video about how electricity spreads in very long wires upon hitting a switch. And the huge debate it spawned. Do you think it’s over? Haha! You wish! Today AlphaPhoenix raised the bar: Watch electricity hit a fork in the road at half a billion frames per second (from Alpha Phoenix) |

I thought the whole thing smelled like some frame of reference trick question BS from the start and still do. |
| R@Jensen:
I think this one is better than Veritasium. It's so funny to see all his conclusions based upon a oscillioscope and twisted wires...! :-DD Think about twisted wire and how they works. If this continues we end up with free energi from the stars and the forever-going- machine. :box: |

AlphaPhoenix’s effort lacks scientific rigour, so this is not evidence in the strict sense. But it is as close as a relaxed, amateur experiment made for entertainment can get to it. Certainly at the level of proper preliminary research. And the effect is beautiful! Many might argue this is not a “real video”. But it is as real, as EHT’s pictures of Sagittarius A* or M87*, and the later M87* high resolution picture. Or as the much earlier work by Ramesh et al. showing light propagation at trillion frames per second. |
