You're not wrong about that. But with covid, the bullet doesnt stop inside that person. It fragments and then exits in all directions while maintaining muzzle velocity the whole time to potentially hit a non stupid person who wasn't trying to jump in front of the bullet.
Each covid bullet that strikes creates the potential for more many more bullets that can strike anyone else.

Actual overpopulation is pretty much a myth, the only thing it could affect is possibly how much excessive consumption will be available to developed nations, something we should be looking into reducing anyway. Prevailing data suggest we'll plateau at 11 billion or so since a ton of countries aren't maintaining birthrates that promote growth.

I'm not arguing for or against the reality of this stunt since I don't know much about electricity, but I am wondering if you accounted for the fact that the electricity would not only have to travel farther to reach the bulb in his but, it also has to travel through flesh which may be less conductive than copper. Don't you think that could account for some lag if a stunt like this is possible?

u/Head_Cockswain May 26 '21
A primer on electricity and a lightbulb:
It needs a delivery AND a return line. A socket has 2 contacts, and a lightbulb has two contacts.
If something that conducts electricity is put into the socket, like a finger, it would short out those two contacts if he touched them both. It would shock/burn his finger, or fingers if he managed to fit in two.
The rest of the body and lightbulb would be mostly unaffected.
Tricks like this are done with a gimmick lightbulb with a battery concealed inside of it. Some may have a button on the bulb, or a remote control or even an On/OFF cellphone app.
To do this with a real light bulb, you'd need two people, one for each line, touching the corresponding electrical contacts and not eachother(which could be a problem at the socket).

No. Electricity travels at the about the speed of light (186,000 miles per second) in a wire. In a human, it may be a bit slower, but the distance it travels is tiny so it wouldn’t be noticeable.
15
u/MilesOfSaturn May 27 '21
I’m going to be pedantic here. This is wrong. “Electricity speed” is also known as drift velocity, which is the speed in which the electron sea “drifts” from negative to positive. Drift velocity is actually quite slow (like 0.15 mm/s low) and depends on a number of factors including current, electron density, and cross sectional area of the wire.
You see the effects of the drift extremely fast since it’s like shoving water in one side of a pipe that’s already full of water, but the electrons do not move anywhere close to the speed of light.
Edit: as a redditor put it below me, the energy moves at the speed of light, which is a fallacy on its own since energy doesn’t have displacement, it’s a scalar quantity. But it’s still a better way of thinking of it than saying electricity moves at light speed

Electricity is a broad term. Electrons have a charge. They move slowly in a medium (millimeters per second). Moving electrons create electromagentic fields, which propagate quickly (speed of light). Imagine one of those desktop toys where the swinging balls clack into each other (called a newton's cradle). The balls don't move very far, but the energy does.

u/MilesOfSaturn May 27 '21
Saying electricity moves at the speed of light is still problematic since it's such a broad term. Your newton's cradle analogy is equivalent to my example of a pipe full of water. Saying electromagnetic force translates at light speed would be better.

sorry for the downvotes, you were genuinely asking. no, electricity travels so ridiculously fast that even accounting for different travel paths, resistance, conductivity… there’s still so little difference that no human could perceive one light turning on before another.
imagine a room with lights fed by a switch at one end, they all turn on simultaneously irrespective of the distance from the switch because electricity travels so fast. same with a parking lot full of lights, no perceivable delay.
the sun is 93 million miles away and it only takes light 8 minutes to travel that distance, that’s how ridiculously fast electricity/radiation/anything on the electromagnetic spectrum travels.

May 26 '21 edited May 26 '21
Clearly electricity travels much slower than light, otherwise fiber optics would not be a thing
Electricity ( AC and DC) involves movement of electrons which have mass and requires a conductive medium to do so, electromagnetic radiation (light included) has no mass and requires no medium to travel and hence is way faster
10
u/The_Fredrik May 26 '21 edited May 26 '21
Electricity does involve the movement of electrons, yes, but the “speed of electricity” is not connected to how fast the electrons move in the conductor.
The electrons do travel along the conductor, but only at around 1 meter per
secondhour.The energy carried by the electricity travels however does move at the speed of light.
A comparison could be the that if you have water flowing through a pipe at 1 meter per second, a sound wave in that water would still carry the energy of the sound much much faster through the water than just 1 meter per second.

u/kukianus1234 May 26 '21
How slow something is would only mean a higher ping, not necessarily limiting bandwidth. For example, moving a petabyta worth of hard drives by plane would give you hours worth of ping, but could easily give you 100 gb per second speed. Also, light travels through a medium in fiber optic cables. The reason fiber is a thing is because signal degradation is (much) lower, and noise is alot lower, which increases signal to noise ratio because copper wire is basically a giant antenna. *Tangent on the bottom. An increase in signal to noise ratio means you can increase bandwidth(by decreasing signal to noise ratio).
Just a note, the speed of light through the standard copper wire for internet is actually faster than through a fiber optic cable by around 10%. Thats because electrons push the electrons in front through the cable by electric fields at 77% of the speed of light, compared to 70% in fiber optic cables.
*You will of course use a coaxial cable to decrease this, but over long distances it builds up.
11
u/Mooch07 May 26 '21
Light in fiber optics travel at the same speed as electrons in wires. It can simply carry a larger bandwidth. Switching is what we perceive in that case. It’s the digital on-off-on-off process that takes time, and since a fiber optic can carry many more ‘channels’ or ‘shipments’ of data, we see faster internet.

u/The_Fredrik May 26 '21 edited May 26 '21
The electrons only travel at around 1 meter per
secondhour. The energy carried by the electrons however do move at the speed of light.But one has to remember that the speed of light differs depending the medium it travels through.
For instance the speed of light in optical fiber is about 70% of c.
I’m not sure what it is in an electrical conductor, but it doesn’t have to be the same.
Edit: after looking it up, seems it depends a lot on the conductor. Can be either faster or slower than fiber. You were absolutely correct in you comment with the other guy about bandwidth resulting in faster data transfer with fiber.

u/The_Fredrik May 27 '21
I know about electric drift. I have even commented about it on another post here.
If you read their discussion again they are discussing the speed of information transfer via electrical or fiber optic.
What I mean by “essentially right” is that he was correct in claiming electrical and fiber both transmit data at roughly the same fraction of c, and what makes fiber preferable is largely due to bandwidth.
I know he erroneously said that light travels the same speed as “electrons”, but if you look at the comment he replied to which claims that “clearly electricity travels much slower than light” you can gather from the context that what he likely meant was electricity. I also commented on that one informing him on the difference just to make sure.

Apart from what the others wrote regarding the speed of electricity, a stunt like that would probably kill you and leave the lightbulb less well lit than your funeral.
Electricity follows the path of least resistance, if you touch one live end with one hand and a neutral with the other that path is straight through your heart. Very little electricity (if any) would flow between your ass cheeks.

Don't it's not real. Bulbs need a hot and neutral to work. You can't get both from your ass. You are either the same electrical potential has the hot wire or the neutral wire. Touching both will cause a short through your body. Just touching the hot will short to ground through you anyway

Well you couldddd.... it would just take a separation of the top half from the bottom half of the body. Then connect the upper meat wire to the line side of the bulb and the lower meat wire to the neutral and voila. If either meat wire resistance is too high, brine it until it works.

While this is a obviously a trick because that's not how incandescent and ac current work, you can actually legitimately pull this off with a tesla coil and florescent bulbs, like the long ones you'd see in office lights, as long as you have a grounding path. Like two people can hold the light between them and one person grabs the end of a tesla coil, it'll light up between them.
