socially free, from a source nobody had ever even thought of, but not literally physically free. that is pretty fucking cool. I'll have to ask an EE about this sometime, and see how dumb they think I am.
Careful. Most of what "we" are taught is complete horse-shit, or at the very least a severely simplified and perverted version of underlying reality. Many people, even those who work with electricity daily,are going to go cross-eyed hearing this notion. It requires real understanding I'm afraid.
Edit, I mean you guys can downvote me all you want, but I've only spent 30 years doing this shit lol ... Remember, if you're going to talk to somebody that you hold in esteem re your unfamiliar topic of electromagnetism... Remember that they aren't holding pioneering knowledge in their minds... They're hooking up wires, checking voltages, plotting circuits, making sure telephone interference isn't present, and that's it. It doesn't matter how well versed one is in electronics or electricity, 99.99% chance ones's not thinking about these deeper subjects. I know a hell of a lot more than I let on and if you can't see that, you need help lol
