Sorry you don’t seem to understand the point of the post.

Apparently your educational background has simplified the model of electrons in a conductor to such a level where it confused you into thinking that we, as a scientific culture, understand it.

The behavior of a photon (the wave-particle) passing through various mediums is certainly a complicated subject, and just like an electron in a conductor one has to worry about the effects of heterogeneous materials, skin effects, parasitic effects, etc.

Things are more complicated than the drastically [and catastrophically for people’s hi-fi systems who believe this is reality] over-simplified RLC circuit analysis model.

Science is not a religion - T.V.s will not stop working, planes will continue to fly even if one understands that we don’t really understand all that much about anything when one starts to look at things more closely.

On the frontiers of high-end audio reproduction, that is just what we have to do - look at [and listen to] things more closely.

Thanks for posting,
