The perfect visual representation of electrical principles in action. Current flows in one direction while electrons move in the opposite direction—a fact that still confuses first-year physics students and occasionally senior researchers after their fourth coffee. The shoe prints perfectly demonstrate how conventional current (the person walking forward) moves opposite to electron flow (the footprints left behind). Just another reminder that Benjamin Franklin had a 50/50 chance of getting current direction right, and chose... poorly.
