Great comment, took me back to computer architecture. Not sure I can answer. Just a postulate, is it because the electric forces are a billion times stronger than gravity so they both neutralize quicker, but also can more reliably and precisely cause electricity to flow because when you do disturb that balance, it’s much stronger than the interactions with massive systems we’re used to visualizing?
That, as well as how computers will run the same computation multiple times and select output bits by majority rules to correct errors from say cosmic rays causing some bits to flip part way through one (but not all) of the fault tolerant circuits?
My last one was more of a joke, but my other statements hold. I think what I’m essentially asking is:
I understand how a pendulum works, I understand how a Newton’s swing works, I understand how Newton’s swing can start off another swing elsewhere… I’m just not clear on the nature of the finger that started off the first swing
