, this proves the inconsistency of the law of conservation of energy
OK. The ultraviolet catastrophe was "solved" with the help of the hippie theory, but firstly, I do not believe in the hippie theory, it stinks too much with acid and vomit, and secondly, this does not negate the fact that the scholastics are cretins and there is no solution in the "classical" model.Oh gee. We have another itinerant Mr. Science idiot peddling more insane horseshit than a bulldozer can push!

I love you, but sooner or later, you're going to have to face the fact you're a goddamn moron
Or so says Veritasium in this YouTube video:
Though I seldom completely agree with him, this instance being no exception, I can't help loving his style and I commend him for at least lamely attacking how this area of physics is so poorly taught or glossed over as the case may be. Just to reiterate, he's claiming that electrical energy does not flow through wires. Whether AC or DC, the work gets accomplished all around the wires and in between, entirely through field interactions, and not through any movement of particulate "electrons."
Comments?
Yeah, I can see objecting to his manner. He's got a face you just want to punch sometimes. But he's definitely developed a slick presentation style. Though more correct than the mainstream, he's still far from 100%. His injection of some humility is his saving grace.He is actually correct although I can't say I'm in love with his manner of explanation.
I think where he fails is in the lack of discussion of the making and breaking and remaking of the covalent orbits of the "loose" electrons in the atomic structure and the subsequent magnetomotive and electromotive forces. For the most part though it's probably a good idea to begin the explanation of electrical flow by comparing it to a pipe with a fluid in it.... It's much more complex than that of course but a good start for someone who's just beginning to grasp the concept.Yeah, I can see objecting to his manner.

He's correct in that the electricity flows outside of the wires or "conductors." Else it would never get across a capacitor without arcing. Nor through the wire's "insulation" in a transformer. Electricity is energy in motion, not simply amperage or "current."
