I love this guy, and am amazed at the level of technical & scientific Knowledge the man has, and lovingly passes on!!!
HOWEVER... I was put off not long ago when he went on & on for a few YouTube Posts regarding 'his' views about how
Energy Transference / Elect Current / Electron flow / within & outside(?) 'wires' that have left a sour taste in my mouth...
As smart as he is, I 'think' that sometimes, people that know a lot, can't help but look for solutions that are too complicated!
Remember the old acronym... 'KISS'. (Keep It Simple, Stupid!). Well, he is not stupid, but is certainly over-thinking it!!!
There's another old saying, about people who "Can't see the forest for the trees". Well, sometimes, what's in front in Trees!!
Over the decades, I've heard/seen many examples where for instance, KIDS can see/find a solution to some problem, simply
because they don't over-analyze it, where-as 'smart' adults who over-think, can miss it all together. Here's an example....
What's the missing letter???...
Kids always get it, but most adults struggle with it!!! (Scroll down for the 'Spoiler Alert!)

The missing letter is 'N' !! (For 'Nine')
People seem to think that 'Current', (Electron Flow), is the Speed of Light... No..., it had nothing to do with it!!
The 'result' at the other end of the 'wire' may be bloody quick, but only because the Electrons that are Shunted in
one end, cause a chain reaction to pop out the other end! In fact, as a VERY rough guide, a few amps flowing in a
wire is only 'moving' the actual Electrons at maybe 1cm /sec !! In an A/C power point in your house, the 'Electrons'
(on load) are only jiggling back & forth by a few millimeters at the most, and go nowhere!!, but THAT movement in the
wires etc is what generates the heat, in the likes of a light globe, having a small size & resistance.
Stop trying to make it more complicated with terms of Quantum-Physics/Grav-Waves/Fields bla bla bla... Maybe we should
think like some stirrers that say "Light is the absence of Darkness", instead of "Darkness is the absence of light??"
(I'm equally sure I won't get any 'comments' here, hahaha.... )
