This is now, officially, my absolute favorite article on HN(!), as of today's date. I am not being sarcastic! You see, I've had the same thoughts (about the many paradoxes in the existing knowledge of electricity) for a long, long time! This article goes a long way towards challenging the "status quo" with respect to what is currently known and/or popularly believed about electricity... It is well worth a reads and many re-reads, both now and in the future... My absolute favorite article on HN, thus far!

Try the finished version! Those were just the unedited notes from 1988, and over later years I used them for a large number of articles and essays. http://amasci.com/miscon/elect.html http://amasci.com/miscon/elect.html is the big list of electricity misconceptions.

  Hi Bill (or do you prefer William?) Beaty! Some excellent links! But, you've always ran an excellent website since day one, a long time ago, to be sure! Fun historical fact(!): One of the first articles I posted to HN a long time ago -- was your article on hand-drawn holograms! I wouldn't have posted that... unless I thought you were on to some deeper principle, some deeper truth, something... in other words, there was something there... Anyway, if you would like to connect via email and/or LinkedIn, I'm available at peter.d.sherman@gmail.com and/or www.linkedin.com/in/peter-sherman-a6107a5 I think you'd find me a fascinating guy of your caliber... Of course, if you'd rather not, and value your privacy, then I respect that too...
