And thanks for "clearing up" we should have taken it as a thought experiment. I It's almost like you were pointing out we should not have been so stupid to think this was an actual question about reality, and it was so obvious. Sorry for thinking about reality when you were trying to teach us about an idealized system which doesn't matter... can you explain why you built an actual one then? MAKE UP YOUR MIND WHAT YOU WANTED TO TEACH US! Except, it's more likely you just didn't communicate it well. Look at how many people misunderstood you. I thought you were a science communicator.

'Turns on" implies "and stays on". You still have not demonstrated the light bulb turning on. at best you'll get a single pulse from your radio signal. 15:40 "We use this technique every time we draw a circuit diagram" Every time. riiiiight. Like the several minutes of circuit diagrams you just displayed with the electrical (and magnetic) frields had... oh we didn't use them. Please... stop simplifying the wrong amount! And when something is illustrative, explicitly say it. You made an example to explain something which made it less clear. Please, "lies for children" is one thing, but deliberately miisrepresenting it

"actual speed of these electrons is very fast, around a million meters per second" but... the speed of light is just under 300,000 m/s. That cannot be the actual speed of those electrons.

11:20 ish: "The new electric field from the modified surface charges radiates outwards at essentially the speed of light," What do you mean by '"essentially?" Why not the speed of light itself? And doesn't that change the anser from "1/c" to "1/essentially c"?
