Then explain the literal lightning bolts hot AC wires shoot at you when you touch them. I'll wait.

Do you think the flash of lightning you see is a stream of electrons or something? Think about it for a moment.

Electrons are everywhere you absolute mong.
If you've a high enough voltage it creates a high amount of electron pressure from the wire to the closest neutral material that has a negative pressure.
This pressure then causes all of the electrons in the atoms to move towards the negative pressure.
That's why you can't have sparks in absolute vacuum cause there's no atoms (air in this case) to transmit the pressure through.

Holy shit rofl, you probably think electricity literally flows like water as well. Get off this board and read a book.

There is no empirical evidence of an electron particle. Pressure? Pressure of what? Itself? It causes itself to move? No sense.

>>10681717
its still a great way to help grasp the concepts. nothing wrong with it, you get to the next level by directly studying the electron and his behaviour (and even then the water analogies are still usefull, electrons do flow! for example in a flourecent lamp, roentgen tube or Xray tube... ... the use of electrons in the "double slit experiment" etc etc).

>There is no empirical evidence of an electron particle. Pressure? Pressure of what? Itself? It causes itself to move? No sense.

even tesla postulated :

>"Should the above relation be confirmed by other physicists, we shall be justified to draw the following conclusions: First, the highly exhausted bulb emits material streams which, impinging on a metallic surface, are reflected; second, these streams are formed of matter in some primary or elementary condition..."

(he's talking about the electron, in those days it was not fully known yet, they also called "cathodic rays" at the electron emition)

>"...No theory of vibration of any kind would account for this singular relation between the powers of reflection and electric properties of the metals. Streams of projected matter coming in actual contact with the reflecting metal surface afford the only plausible explanation."

"In my communication to you of April 1, I have for the first time stated that these rays are composed of matter in a “primary” or elementary condition or state. I have chosen this mode of expression in order to avoid the use of the word “ether,” which is usually understood in the sense of the Maxwellian interpretation, which would not be in accord with my present convictions in regard to the nature of the radiations."
