Cable Break In for the Naysayers

                Time for another rewind:

       ie: Inescapable FACT: No one understands exactly how electricity works.     

                         That’s why there’s so much Electrical THEORY.     

      The number of Wiki-Scientists on these pages, attempting to win the IG-Nobel Prize in Pseudo-Physics, is always amusing.             

       Whenever some highly educated person actually does discover exactly how electricity functions, they’ll be lauded by the scientific community, will have solved some of the disparities between Relativity and Quantum Mechanics, receive a Nobel and we’ll hear about it.     

      Newton’s THEORIES were largely superseded by Einstein and Bohr's.   Then came Feynman’s.       For now; none of you can absolutely prove your statements (theories), regarding electricity, FUSES, wires, or anything else, as regards our systems.    

             The following articles, read in sequence, illustrate my point:

      then:

       and:

     Much of the foregoing conversation, only shows that not all Physics courses are equal.

                                ie: @carlsbad2 -

     As a Physicist: to what theory do you lean*, regarding lambda?

                        * There is NO wrong answer!

     Could/would you honestly say, that opinion jives with your Prof's?

                        Electrical Engineering courses?

                                FA'GET ABOUT IT!

    If the first link, in my above post, isn't working for the (genuinely) interested:

Transmission Line/Waveguide

“My Silver, Palladium, and Fidelium cables were all designed from the transmission line or waveguide point of view that electricity flows between the conductors, not in the conductors. The energy is transmitted in the form of an electromagnetic wave.  Energy does, however, penetrate the metal conductor material and that portion of the energy becomes a secondary error or memory signal (time-delayed). 

The physics behind this suggests that the smaller or thinner the conductor is, the less time it will take for the electromagnetic wave to penetrate the conductor, thus resulting in a smaller timing error.  As you know, many cable manufacturers have evolved to produce cables with smaller and smaller wires to minimize what they describe as the skin effect.  Most of them, however, still view electricity flow as electrons inside the wire, like water in a pipe.  This is an analogy that does not allow or account for phase or group delay in a wire."
