But that has since been proved not to be a fact, i.e. their theory has been
disproved. Just as Issac Newton's discoveries were a little off, so were
the "Giants" about which you speak. In RF conductors, electrons do
oscillate but they are much too slow to "flow".


They jump off from the end (corona) after the time equal to speed of light.
They do not flow from the transmitter to the end of antenna. They kick the
next ones. It is the oscillatory flow.


But EM waves also propagate in environments where the electrons are
too far apart to kick eachother. How do you explain that?
