You flip the switch every day and don't even think about what's really going on. In school, they explained that electrons flow through a wire, carrying energy to the lightbulb. This explanation is incorrect—not simplified, but fundamentally flawed. The energy that lights your lightbulb never flowed inside the wire. It moves outside, through the air, through an invisible field around each cable. Maxwell and Heaviside discovered this over 100 years ago, but the truth remained in advanced textbooks while you were still drawing arrows on the blackboard. In this video, you'll learn how electricity really works—and why this discovery connects your lightbulb to the sun.
