They do stop in the sense that power is not delived through the center point.

Hi Roger,

I'm not sure if this is original to you, or one of those conceits that
is being passed around; but how, short of tagging energy (power?), can
you tell its origin? In other words, delivery by return, or
completion of the path needs to be separable by some information about
the origin that to this point has been missing from the discussion.

If energy can be tagged with a return address, what is that tag?

I suggest that since the current at the middle of the line
is always 0, the power is always 0 and therefore no energy
crosses the middle. While tracking mixed energy is difficult,
when no energy crosses a boundary it seems easy to keep the
energy on each side of the boundary separate.


Hi Keith,

If you cannot identify the source, then you cannot proclaim a
separation.

The best term for this is "the enigma effect." I hate to turn this
loose on the world because I know many here will pick it up and run to
their perceived goal for a touch-down.

Before anyone tackles me for a touchback, I'm going to pass this off
and watch the quarterbacks wrestle with religion in the huddle.

To single out a particular spot as the site of a lack of energy
movement along an equipotential system in which there is no tranfer of
energy anyway seems to me to be an arbitrary convenience.

Maxwell explained how electromagentic waves 'bounce' if they encounter
matter, and I haven't seen any evidence that it was an incomplete
description.
