If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?

The tests come from the word Republican. The baby oil is the reason they are against Abortion, which is why they are dragging their feet to get all vehicles to run on corn and vegetable oil Eh! As for morality,well, lets just say that answer is the result of not wanting electric cars right now! I guess that sums it up for me now as I've never been to a Chinese wedding.

Not really. If we were interested in ATP instead of electricity, it might work, but even then we'd have to supply this solar cell with a fresh supply of CO2 and H2O. In this case, Physics has a better answer than Biology (the photoelectric effect)

Electricity. It's everywhere. It's in your house, in the computer on which you are reading this, in the air, in your body, blah blah blah. You get the point. It also plays an important integral part of sound systems. From the microphone to the loudspeaker, everything is electrical, and you need to know a few things about it.\n\n\nANYONE FOR FROGS' LEGS?\n\nAn Italian scientist named Alessandro Volta did experiments with electric charge back in the 1800s; he managed to make dead frogs (yes, frogs) "move" by using them as part of an electrical circuit, and is credited with providing us with a lot of information about electric potential. The volt was thus born. Voltage is defined as the electric charge between two points. In household terms, voltage is akin to water pressure available to do work. It can't do any work until a circuit (the plumbing and a water tap) is complete so that current (the amount of water) can flow. In engineering terms, voltage is the potential energy of a bunch of electrons. Current, measured in Amperes, is the flow of electric charge; we can say that current is the rate of flow of electrons, but technically it is the opposite flow that we call current-- as electrons move in one direction, holes are left behind, and appear to flow in the opposite direction. We should also remember from our physics classes that there is a fundamental equation used in electricity: Ohm's Law.\n\n\nOHM SWEET OHM\n\nOhm's Law is the mathematical relationship between voltage, current and resistance. It is named after George Ohm, its founder. Ohm's Law states that the current in a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage across it, and inversely proprtional to its resistance. In simpler terms, the law states that more voltage will produce more current if resistance stays the same, but higher resistance will cause the current to decrease if the voltage stays the same. In our household plumbing example, we can say that Ohm's Law dictates that more water pressure will produce more output if the diameter of the pipe stays the same, but a smaller-diameter pipe will cause the output to decrease if the water pressure stays the same.\n\nWith these three basic components, we have electricity. Current is "drawn" from a power supply due to the presence of a voltage placed across a load, or resistance. For instance, a typical electrical outlet has 120 volt potential (pressure- it has the capacity to give you 120 volts), but nothing is connected. If you put some load across its terminals, like a lightbulb or steam iron, you then have a complete circuit in which electrical current can flow. As we said before, a higher resistance will yield less current than low resistance. A direct short will cause a very large flow of current, because there is no resistance. If the supply is capable of delivering enough current, it is likely that the wire will eventually heat up and melt. This is why circuit-breakers and fuses are used. They limit current flow by opening (as opposed to shorting) a circuit before current flow becomes too large-- a 15A circuit-breaker will trip when the loads connected to that circuit try to pull more than 15A of current.\n\nMakes sense, right? Good. Ohm's Law is represented as the rate of flow of electrons, and voltage is represented as the electric charge between two points.\n\nOhm's Law:V = I x R, where V = Voltage, I = Current, and R = Resistance. \n\nHELL'S BELLS\n\nElectricity appears in two forms: alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC). Direct current does not change directions-- the electron flow is always from the negative pole to the positive pole-- although as we mentioned before, the electrons themselves don't really "move," it's the holes that are created that "move." Direct current is almost always what is used inside of electronic devices to power the various internal components, but it is a harmful thi

Politics and Morality are both relative terms.\nUnfortunately for us, they both happen to be totally unrelated to each other !

I think it would be safer to generalize by saying that immoral people tend to be more stupid than people with higher morals.  Low moral people think with their genitals, high moral people think with their hearts and minds.  They don't trade what they want MOST (happiness) for what they want NOW (sex or acceptance.)

Morally not necessarily\n\nRealistically yes

no. think of the synapse. electric synapse in general. The speed of electricity is much slower than the speed of light. So, if you could think at the speed of light, you would be well beyond the fastest thinker of any kind. The link I provided will give you a little insight about the synapse and the speed of light

answer as a moral question

Not really.  It's the movement of electrons, so they're different things, but without electrons, I don't think there would be electricity.  But if the same electrons are just sitting around, that's not electricity either.\n\nIt's like asking what's the mass of 55mph?  It doesn't really work like that.  Your car might be able to go 55mph but it has the same mass at 55mph as it does when it's not moving.

First of all, you can never make anything idiot-proof.  \nAlso, I think overall society (in developed countries anyway) is more educated then ever before and those in control in business and government are among the top educated.  To me the question is, will the control be wielded morally and justly? ...and that is a concern.

electrons have negative charge

Surprisingly it is. See the both enclosed aticles about the theory and experiments done to prove it. In reality human mankind will not have the ability to do it for a long time.\n\nVery simplified it would work like this:\n\nIn an atom always 2 electrons on the same circle are linked. One has to have a up-spin, the other has to have a down-spin. But you do not know which one has it. Kick the elctrons out of the circle and send them into two directions. \n\nWhen you know measure the spin of one you know exactly the spin of the other one. If you would be able to manipulate one the information would be transfered immediatly to the other on. This has been done in laboratories.\n\nEInstein predicted this but nobody really believed it would work, the science community is still under a certain shock.\n\nThe challenge is to do this with all the electrons of you body.\n\nBut ther is a practible application for this. The speed of comuter today is "slow" because information is transfered in form of electrons which move in metals inside the chips, the next step would be to transport the information by light whcih is significant faster and the next step would be a "quantum-computer" where the information is transfered in the above menioned form. This would reduce the time to calculate any problem in an unbelievable way and calculations which are not possible today could be done.

Nico, I have no idea what you are talking about.\n\nElectricity is quite simply a movement of electromagnetic charge. Nothing more and nothing less. \n\nAtoms are made up of (amongst other things) protons and electrons. Electrons have a negative electrical charge and neutrons have a positive charge. When an atom has a surplus of electrons it becomes negatively charged and when it has a surplus of protons it has a positive charge.\n\nWhen a charged atom (ion) or even a single electron moves from one place to another that is electricity. \n\nHousehold electricity is a ‘push’ of electrons from a magnetic generator. It exists primarily as a movement of electrons. In contrast the electrical impulses within your muscles and nerves are created by producing a high concentration of metal ions. Such biological electricity exists primarily as a movement of ions.\n\nElectricity isn’t fire or light or anything else in the universe. It is simply what it is, a movement of charge. There really is no other answer.

That's a very good question. Are morals relative? Even the ones we think are basic--Thou shall not kill, Do unto others as you would have them do unto you,Don't put that in your mouth;you don't know where it's been!--can be violated if one feels he/she has just cause, and whichever society that individual happens to exist in has differing opinions on whether or not his/her actions were justified.\nI suppose the only ethical constant I can think of would be the 5-second rule. Unless it's an Oreo. Then all bets are off.

You are confused.  Electrons don't conduct electricity.  They, collectively, make electricity.  They do work by going from high potential energy to low potential energy.  The potential energy is usually caused by concentration of charge, because like charges repel each other.  The movement of electrons is what we call electricity.  Charge is a measure of the difference between number of protons and number of electrons, if you multiply the difference by the charge for one electron you get the charge.\nA coulomb is a unit designed to be more usefull than the charge on an electron because it is large enough to work easily with..

This may shock you, but Thomas Jefferson  (yes... Thomas Jefferson) said:  "I do not find in orthodox Christianity one redeeming feature."  That really shocked me!  I just looked it up on BrainyQuotes.com\n\nActually, the quote I was looking for was something akin to: "if god cannot regulate morality, no government should try".\n\nEurope is decidedly non-religious.  Somehow, most Europeans seem to have fewer sexually-related problems than Americans.  I don't pretend to know the answers, but I believe that old fashioned morality is not going to make a comeback any time soon.\n\nIn most parts of the world, sex is just cheap recreation.  They don't associate sexual activity with any moral taboos.  Now, I'm not saying that's a good thing.  That is exactly how AIDS spread through Africa.  Truckers would get a prostitute at every truck stop.  Now the entire continent is paying the price.
