This is my basic and boring User page
I live and work in London. I was a Catastrophe Modeller but now I work modelling enginnering problems at London Underground (I am actually a sub contractor so my real employer is Interfleet Technology Ltd)
I am 23
I have a Masters Degree in Physics from the Exeter University.
I have published a [http://newton.ex.ac.uk/research/emag/aph/research/buriedSPs.pdf research paper] on Surface Plasmon effects

Hi Captin-
I saw you made an edit to the "Speed of Electricity" talk page. With respect to the talk section "Speed of Light in Copper" I believe it was you who wrote "References online generally point to .5c to .95c with several sources citing 2/3 c".
This is absolutely correct. I have been startled to find that 10s of thousands of EEs and even some Physics PhDs don't agree with you/me. Considering that displacement current WITHIN conductors is Maxwell's theory, the disagreement set me in motion and I now have proof that you and I (and Maxwell and many many others) are correct and E&M travels axially at near-light speed WITHIN conducting media.
I am current gathering references to re-write the relevant section from this entry. Would be great to get as many as possible. Please let me know your reference(s)? Thanks!
