Are you rich enough to check the simplest radio?
Is the same power in the both arrangement?

yes, its the same in both directions.

"A simplified drawing of a circuit is called a schematic. A schematic for a
simple crystal radio might look like this if drawn on a napkin at a party: "

On the simplified drawing the electron flow from antena to ground.
Are you sure that the diode may be mounted in the opposite direction?

My only question is why does my crystal radio work without a ground
connection? Yes the radio does work better with a ground but that does
not negate the fact it works without a ground. And yes the radio works
with the ground and antenna connections reversed. The diode is a piece
of galena.

Apparently, You have never heard of Capacitive Coupling......

shhhhhhh, we don't want to confuse mr.b any more than necessary.
