>Although it is known that atoms containing few valence electrons are the best conductors, it is not known why some of these materials are better conductors than others. Copper, gold, platinum, and silver all contain only one valence electron. Silver, however, conducts electricity more readily than any of the others. Aluminum, which contains three valence electrons, is a better conductor than platinum, which contains only one valence electron.
So this is a quote from a book about electricity, I'm trying to relearn a bunch of stuff that I never paid much attention to during my school years and I found this interesting.
So any theories why this might be the case? What others factors do you think aside from the amount of valence electrons make silver a better conductor than gold/copper/platinum? Basically what makes electrons able to travel more freely in silver that in those other metals?

>>14423309 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_electrodynamics > as Feynman points out, it fails to explain why particles such as the electron have the masses they do. "There is no theory that adequately explains these numbers. We use the numbers in all our theories, but we don't understand them – what they are, or where they come from. I believe that from a fundamental point of view, this is a very interesting and serious problem."[1]: The subatomic realm has weird unknown properties

>>14423309 read up bamdgap theory and drude model its really easy to realize why certain element solids have the properties they do while yes it depends on the valanece electron you wont be able to tell its finally properties just off that. lattice information is important. Its not hard stuff a evening should ve more than enough timd to study the topic on a surface level.

>>14424912 highly unlikely. first of all any population decay is going to be decades in the making. second I expect there will always be groups that are interested in having large families such as mormons, amish, etc. so my guess is that world population will decrease to some number that is still likely quite large like a few hundred million or a billion or something like that. it's unclear to me how artificial wombs might change things.

Where’s the Wildberger for this bullshit? You can’t just say hey my equation is undefined there but imagine if it just keeps going hehehe. I mean you can, but it’s just an algebraic abstraction, it has no reality.
