The No Treason Podcast Ep. 30: The Dielectric, the Ferrocell & Field Geometry
Part 4 of the ether series is where things start getting visual. Jonathan Drake and Polymath move from philosophical groundwork into the actual mechanics of the medium, beginning with the dielectric, a term coined by Michael Faraday to describe the medium through which electrostatic force acts. From the ancient Greeks rubbing amber to Faraday proving that charge lives in the medium between capacitor plates rather than on them, to a live clamp meter demonstration showing that electrical current radiates outside the wire, the evidence stacks up. The episode also introduces incommensurability…
