Who Says Electricity Needs Two Wires?

"Left is neutral, right is live." We all learned that electricity flows out through one wire and returns through another. Yet lightning has no second wire. A radio tower radiates megawatts into the open sky without one. And between the plates of a capacitor lies nothing but an insulating void, yet the lamp still lights.

This book returns to the most orthodox foundations of classical electrodynamics, Maxwell's equations and Poynting's theorem, to reveal a fact written in every university textbook yet forgotten by intuition: the power that makes a filament glow does not travel inside the wire. It travels through the space around it.

From Faraday, Maxwell and Hertz to Tesla, the Goubau line and single-wire earth-return power systems, the author rereads electromagnetism through the lens of "Structure Before Energy," while clearly separating four levels of claims: established science, structural reinterpretation, theoretical inference, and speculative engineering hypotheses.

This is not a book that overturns physics. It is an intellectual adventure that frees classical electromagnetism from a centuries-old "substance" view of energy. It is also the first physics laboratory of the Generalized Structuralism theory presented in Structure Before Energy.
