Since there seems to be dispute, it would be nice to see a real experiment, not just "my oversimplified models are more detailed than your oversimplified models, so I must be right".
I think if u nailed down specifics enough to do an actual experiment then the disagreements might melt away. I can't imagine a Michelson Morley style paradigm breaking experiment here
Maybe. It just seems a bit silly to hit each other in the head with laws of nature, when mother nature may not have been informed of said laws or their generality.
As I understand it there are many issues here, one being that some say individual electrons do not move very fast through wires at all. This may play heavily into it all.
And even if they do travel at ~c, the claim that you got a big condensator initially, I dunno if this really is an "absolute truth". I got lots of such doubts.
Anyway, I suppose an experiment can be scaled down considerably from the puzzle text, but still it can get very expensive because wires must be superconducting.
Just by reading this, not looking stuff up or rewatching vid, I don't really know what you are talking about here. But didn't he say that something like that will come in part 2?
So what is your problem with him not (yet) talking properly about inductance? Do you see a problem with his experiment or arguments that this will address?
Maybe it’s me who’s wrong. But current in 1 wire inducing opposite current in a parallel wire is well understood. To discuss the phenomenon yet not name it seems strange.
I am but a humble layman in such matters and suspect you know more than me, but i still don't see how either model ultimately predicts a fundamentally different outcome.
I may not be humble but I am definitely nothing more than a layman. Anyway, I thought there was some disagreement, but the first vid, some time since I watched it, remember few details
