The people writing this paper however, write like they don’t even have freshman physics levels of understanding of electricity. Agreed. If you can get past the absolutely dreadful introduction, however, the remainder of the paper is a review of other studies. Some of which seem kind of decent, though I wouldn't get excited until they are replicated. although the much simpler explanation is that feeling nice walking around on bare feet has small positive effects on health. The "grounding" studies in the linked article (which are of varying quality) seem to try to separate the "being outdoors in nature" aspect from the "grounding" aspect by using grounding pads indoors. This seems wise, because the positive benefits of time spent outdoors in nature are pretty well documented.[1] --- [1] The positive effects of spending time in nature (not the grounding part) are pretty well documented: https://www.apa.org/monitor/2020/04/nurtured-nature https://www.apa.org/monitor/2020/04/nurtured-nature
