But that does not change the fact that there are forces in the cables that have the potential to influence the structure of the material over time. Especially around any impurities and defects. Simply discarding that potential and saying that cables do not change with use is quite unscientific. Hmm, you got me there, I will probably need to read up on electromagnetic physics in metalls.

For them to do that would require infinite energy, something which your receiver just can't provide. Electrons _cannot_ travel at the speed of light, since they have mass.

Well, something there does travel with the speed of light, even if that is just the change in electomagnetic properties of the cable. Elctrons do try to travel as fast as they can, but get distracted by bumping into atoms of the material and producing heat along the way. Not much of a difference really.

Apparently the speaker people had such a good laugh that the replaced them for free. btw, electrons definatly do *not* travel at the speed of light, they actually travel quite slowly, the reason that it appears instant is that there are already electrons in the wire to be pushed along, like water out of a tap.
