I still remember being fascinated by electricity as a kid when we first learned about how slow electron drift velocity is in school and it completely blew my mind that electricity is simultaneously incredibly fast but also so damn slow.
Seeing it visualised like this is pretty validating from what I imagined it would be having done a degree in physics, and it's still amazing.

It really is incredible, especially because it kind of shows that even if it's not as simple as you imagined before learning The Truth™, it's still simpler than you imagine after learning The Truth™. It's like you start off believing wires are simple electron hoses, learn that they're magic, and now learn that they're not magic, they're very elegant, and they aren't quite as simple as you initially imagined.
The fact that the dude who made it said that he never really understood the concepts until he made the video really underscores how basic our common understanding of electricity is.
I really don't understand how he can pretend to present these results while ignoring the inductance and capacitance effects you introduce by winding the coils this way. Especially since he claims...
I really don't understand how he can pretend to present these results while ignoring the inductance and capacitance effects you introduce by winding the coils this way. Especially since he claims to have studied transmission effects. It's nonsense really to me. It's like Veritasium videos about electricity, or like Adam Ragusea seasoning his cutting board instead of the steak.
Like, seriously. You can't understand why the signal deflects off the open end of the circuit? You just told us a minute ago that you looked into it. And, Adam, you nitwit, nobody cares what your cutting board tastes like.
[or at least an animation based on measurements collected at that rate during the filming of the video][wires actually make sense now]
