Antti Savinainen is certainly correct when he says, "it is 'new science' to
many (if not most) high school and college level textbooks." . . . . .
In this regard I would like to congratulate Antti and his student Mikko for
their contribution in helping spread the word about the correct
interpretation of this demonstration.
I seem to recall mention of the wire through ice demonstration
several times on PHYS-L in the last few years.
THIS thread is the very first I recall that mentions the
crucial observation of no motion in sub freezing environments.
This points helpfully to the wire conductivity model as a
preferred explanation. Strange that I don't recall mention of
that other crucial experiment before - the one that uses
nylon filament.
