what an interesting and curious phenomenon we have in electricity.
Excerpt on electricity:
"Electricity is almost certainly the most elusive of everyday things: It
lives in the walls of our houses, and regulates the lives of our cells. It
bolts from the sky as lightning, and sparks from your finger if you
touch a metal doorknob after shuffling across the rug.
It shapes the structure of mattermaking plastic pliable, oil slick, and glue sticky.
It runs electric trains and human brains . . .
Light is electromagnetic radiationand that includes everything from visible light to x-rays, microwaves, and radio waves.
The magnetism in iron magnets is caused by the spinning of countless electrons twirling in unison, just as the magnetic field of the earth is most probably created by the swirling of electric currents in its molten metal core.
Your entire body is a giant electric machine: body chemistry (like all
chemistry) is based on electrical bonds. It even runs on electricity.
The energy you need to see these words comes from the egg you ate
for breakfast; the egg got its energy from the corn consumed by the
hen; the corn extracted that energy directly from the electromagnetic
light of the sun through photosynthesis.
When you think about it, the universe is positively (and negatively)
electrifying. But because of the usually perfect balance between
positive and negative forces, most of the electrical power around you
is neutralizedand therefore unnervingly invisible, at least in the
normal sense . . . Essentially, everything around us is electrically
charged empty space."

so where do we go with this?
i think its interesting we pull electricity literally out of thin air thousands of times a day and take it for granted. we run on ELECTRICITY but where is YOUR battery pack lol
and what are the implications for our skin? because our skin is our biggest organ, it also has pores which elements can travel through, and is fairly conductive of electromagnetic energy.
thoughts?
