Re: I'll add some more confusion here

jc: ""
This doesn't fit Hummel's equations. ""

Actually, it does, but in ways you cannot elucidate from the quantum equations. (don't worry, I can't either..:-))

The difficulty is in interpreting Hummel's equations, and the application of them to real world problems. Yes, the quantum world is the current understanding (don't worry, that'll also change), but as you are showing, it is difficult to both understand and apply.

Yes, they all move at thermal velocities, yes there is apparent drift, yes they move in discrete amounts, and no, it is not reasonable to use quantum to perform engineering analysis of wire conduction in the macro world.

And no, there are no particles...there is something we call a particle, but that is merely a descriptor in four dimensional space.

It gets far worse than that, believe me..:-)
