    Ooh! Electromotive force has fun formulas!

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromotive_force

     

     

    You gotta check those muscles! Electromyography!

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromyography

    And here you can hear what it sounds like. It's very clicky.

    Our understanding of electrons is probably going to evolve greatly in the next 50 years. 

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron

    They are 1.602 x 10 to -19 coulombs which (I think) is 0.0000000000000000001602.

     

     

    The word of the episode is "electronica".

  • #E46 (electrolysis to electromechanical)

    I read from electrolysis to electromechanical.

     

     

    Here you go! Check out Jonah and myself talking about the film Gaslight from 1944. Obviously I encourage you to watch it while you're watching the movie like a commentary.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_electromagnetism

    I read from electric organ to electrodesiccation.

     

     

    The first thing to know about "electroshock therapy" is that it's now called "electroconvulsive therapy:.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroconvulsive_therapy

    "...skin conductance can be a measure of emotional and sympathetic responses."

    Electra has a complicated history! 

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electra

    There's so much drama in Greek Mythology!

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orestes

    The Electra Complex isn't spoken about nearly as much as it's counterpart, the Oedipus Complex but I guess that's because there's a lot less evidence of people going through that, in some form.

    The Eleatics have been thinking for about 2500 years!

    Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Montana, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Virginia, West Virginia, and the territory of Puerto Rico have declared Election Day a civic holiday. 

    I'm in IL and I don't remember having a holiday on Election Day in 2020, but my memory is pretty bad so I guess it's possible! :) 

    But it could also potentially be dependent on the business. I'm not sure! 
    Either way, It needs to be a Federal Holiday!

    I read from elastic to Elba.

     

     

    Here's more info on "euphoria" because the good book said elation is "pathological euphoria" which is essentially "obsessive happiness".

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euphoria

     

     

    Here's my dramatic reading of the song "I'm Just Ken".

    I made it after only seeing the movie once, I think, but I know the song MUCH better now so I think I could do a better job. Oh well!

    The word of the episode is "elastic scattering".
