In this other video he discusses how misconceptions restrain people's ability to learn. That's why all Vertitasium videos start discussing the misconception first and then they introduce the scientific concept about the topic, because he saw that, that way, people invest mental effort in watching his videos and actually learn. --- End quote --- His PhD thesis was literally on this topic: https://www.sydney.edu.au/science/physics/pdfs/research/super/PhD(Muller).pdf |

In some kind of quasi-acausal ultra-thesis experiment, of which we were only partly aware prior and nearly but incompletely aware during. Now I know where my "Neo and the Architect" screens scene sense came from. Is it even a set up if it is correct? Can we complain if we wanted to participate? If it was all explained in a video, one I probably watched but skimmed or forgot? So many questions I wouldn't want to even ask in non rhetorical form in case they were unnecessary. But it certainly has shone a light on the industrial cat amongst the academic pigeons. It's good that someone is trying to improve the system. As in, properly / from the inside. And in general, there seems to be a change in the wind, with choice of media that is far more involving than going to a lecture hung over with broken beerbottles and subtle aromas dripping from your bag. I haven't conveniently forgotten my answers for SiliconWizard. Just got stuck trying to draw a vacuum, and then a 3D section view callout for it. I'm not a mechanical engineer. |

I have a quick question, maybe someone can help me understand: What happens if we put the bulb inside a steel Faraday cage? That would mean an outside electrical field cannot reach it, and any magnetic field would not reach the bulb either (it would by-pass the bulb via the steel box). If the Veritasium video is right and the energy is carried by the magnetic/electric field and not the wire itself... wouldn't that mean the bulb would not be able to light up inside the Faraday / magnetic shield cage? (Similarly, we could put the battery inside a steel box, or both...) |
