A smile a minute ;-)

How does a money wire transfer get into your account without moving
from the mint? [Hint to the literate: irradiance does not move,
neither does the money in a wire transfer.]

Cecil says that a credit card is money, and presumably so is a wire
transfer.
All things are indeed, equal - apparently.

Amazing analogy though - a power debit from one account, a power credit
at the other - without power (or irradiance) having actually traveled
the distance. All owing to the facility that transfers energy.
