Matt Beall Limitless on Instagram: "Geoffrey from @thelandofchem argues that the Great Pyramid functions as a dielectric capacitor. Limestone is a dielectric. Red granite is a dielectric. The entire structure stores electric fields. Here's the energy conversion chain: Lightning strikes create electric fields. Those fields are stored in the pyramid's dielectric materials. Red granite, when subjected to those electric fields, undergoes inverse piezoelectric effect. Inverse piezoelectric is the opp

UNSEEN INSIGHTS on Instagram: "electricity does build up in the air before a lightning strike. This buildup of static charge creates a strong electric field, and when the electric field becomes strong enough, it can cause a dielectric breakdown of the air, resulting in a lightning discharge. This process involves the ionization of air molecules, creating a conductive channel for the lightning to travel through.
