Wow, it looks like someone was busy tonight.   

So Rose deleted her 3 recent posts that were chastising Hum, myself, and Stefan. 

I hope that is a good sign.

So she now understands what undersampling is?

If electricity is not the flow of electrons, what do you propose it is?  This really does blow my mind and if you could point to some research you have done establishing this I would greatly appreciate it.

The flow of phonons ??
A very good question really, that reveals the age old dilemna of Apollo the Greek God/Deity who thought that by giving something a name he would define it's essence.(and thus give him control over anything he defined)

Does naming something really define it's essence?
A question best answered by a poet and author such as shakespeare, with "a rose by any other name, is a rose just the same". Just substitute rose with any  noun.   

Still, even though the notion of electric current as moving electrons, has been derived from the huge amount of prior experimental observations and data, and conforms to a classical model of energy exchange, modern physics favors the notion of electricity as the motional exchange of quantum charge betweens electrons, not necessarily the motion of electrons themselves.

Me..... well, I'll keep musing on shakespeares words .. LOL

Cheers.

Well hoptoad.

Delighted that there are those readers here who still refer to some decent physics theory.  It's been largely lost to our engineering fraternity.  Just a small correction on your quote.

"What's in a name? that which we call a rose
      By any other name would smell as sweet;"

And I'm not sure that the concept of current flow as the flow electrons has ever been RESOLVED experimentally.  Just really widely used.  But really nice to know that there are still some readers who are prepared to expose these little known truths.

Regards,
Rosemary

Guys - the following REALLY long post - possibly series of posts, (I"ll see how they pan) is to educate Poynty - Stefan and the inimitable Cheesy Hamburger - Humbugger - the cool Hot Dog, in short - also better identified as the 'Pickle' variant.  He's possibly still in search of an identity - or as FuzzyTomCat refers to it - a 'screen name'.      

This first is, (I hope) a picture of the math trace that is intended to explain that 'contracted' display that I first showed.  Had I known how little these things were understood I'd have done better.  Hopefully the illustrations are self explanatory.  But for those who struggle - especially Poynty's dogs - including "'Pickle'" - just concentrate on the number on the bottom right hand corner.  It'll show you the contraction/expansion of the same waveform - enabled by the LeCroy scope function.  All that - at the turn of a button.  Golly.
