Is it even possible to measure a mere potential?
You mean, in principle? Of course.
It takes energy to defect particles or to change the shape of a
crystal, doesn't it? You would be observing/measuring effects and
*deduce* that there is a potential, but that is different from
observing/measuring the potential itself, isn't it?
Yes, it takes energy. It doesn't take current.
Actually, it does. Energy (power) is voltage * current. Without
current, you have no energy.
BTW, I agree a bit with an earlier poster that you a being a bit of a twat.
This mailing list isn't really appropriate for epistemological discussions.
Me, three.
