I don't know in detail how that works but in a regular conductor with no diodes interrupting it it's more like a filled canal with a wave machine (or high flow pump)
<Iskierka>
large change in potential rapidly drags water in or pushes it out and it propogates down in a wave of pressure that either pulls in or pushes out more water until all of it responds
<SilverFox>
yeah that's how neurons work basically
<SilverFox>
its like wave going through the walls of the axon
<SilverFox>
electricity is weird yo
<Iskierka>
A plain conductor won't have walls but possibly the internal behaviour is the same
<SilverFox>
yeah and a plain conductor doesn't use sodium and potassium to propagate the potentials either
<Iskierka>
might be an analogy that works if you have dams in the cana
<Iskierka>
might be an analogy that works if you have dams in the canal
<SilverFox>
if you want to use dams and make that analogy work, you'd have fish that jump the dams, and the dams are the myelin sheathes
<Iskierka>
okya I'm used to being able to select last message in discord I see
<SilverFox>
so fish go from node to node, but get speedy fast at it
<SilverFox>
the fish are much much better at jumping than swimming, ironically
<SilverFox>
but the general ecosystem is dependant on the speed of these fishies
<SilverFox>
so sometimes a dam will break and force the fishies to swim again
<SilverFox>
and that triggers an event similar to when japanese rail trains depart 1 second too early
<SilverFox>
mass absolute hysteria
