Its all models in the end. Half of physics is just putting things in the easiest frame or model to solve the problem you want to solve. And the other half is often simplifying things down to the proverbial spherical cow in a vacuum.
exactly, like water is excellent model for electricity, but youtubers want to be edgy, provocative so they intentionally drop something which needs 20+ years of intentional thinking / education on high schoolers.
Water has to flow. It doesn’t just appear where it “needs” to be.
There’s a brackish pond/lake in a park in Victoria BC, you go over a bridge from downtown to get to the main entrance, though the locals can cross a street.
If should actually be a bay, but under said bridge is a stone formation that forms the throat of this bay, which being so long and narrow, cannot fill up or drain as fast as the tides. So at high tide there is a waterfall flowing into the pond, and as the tides recede it’s a waterfall going the other direction.
Victoria is essentially in the Pacific Ocean. I think they get snow occasionally but it’s mostly cold and wet in the winter. I doubt it freezes but maybe?
