Some 19th century doctors scoffed at the idea that there
could be germs so small that they could see them. :-)
Dust particles come in all sizes. Run some clear air
through a HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filter
and see what you get.

There are always particles in the air. Sometimes they
carry a charge. Air itself, is made up of particles.
Quantum Electrodynamics tells us that charge transfer is
impossible without particles.

For Tom^2 to be correct, every dust particle that touches
every antenna would have to carry the same identical charge
as the antenna to keep charge from transferring. I would
sure like to see them prove that assertion.
