See the Pattern | Your Perception of Lightning is WRONG @SeethePattern | Uploaded 9 months ago | Updated 1 day ago
Your Perception of Lightning is Wrong. In today's episode, we're delving once again into the captivating realm of lightning physics. Lightning, whether positive or negative, exhibits distinct characteristics. They travel at varying speedsone gracefully, the other unpredictably. While one boasts a continuous current, the other does not. Sprites manifest exclusively through positive ground strikes, while gamma-ray flashes are linked to positive intra-cloud lightning.
What might astound you is that lightning isn't a mere discharge from positive to negative; rather, it forms a dual-ended tree structure comprising both positive and negative ends.
Why does this occur, and how can we make sense of these peculiar differences?
