Just a little about voltages and their relationship to Stan's work in the macro and the Quantum.
Firstly i'm going to describe an infinite voltage gradient in the macro which is much easier to understand.
Take a look at the first picture and box number 1 within that picture. It is a white dot in a black square. Imagine the black space is the entire Universe and the dot is a planet, the planet is the only object in the Universe. The planet can ask itself several questions.
1. How big am I?
2. What is my mass?
3. Am I moving or stationary?
Of course none of those questions can be answered because there are no other objects in the Universe from which to gauge those questions so each answer to each question at this point is always the same - i am infinite in size mass and movement.
Voltage in its pure natural state is just the same as the planet in the Universe with no reference points to be able to know anything about itself.
Box 2: Now we see there are two planets and for the first time a question can be answered but the other two questions will still remain infinite.
Question 1. How big am I? The planet can say it is slightly bigger than the other planet but at this point cannot answer which planet is moving and what mass it is because there are no reference points from which to measure. The voltage sees another voltage potential and is in the same position as the planet. It can see that it is slightly bigger than the other voltage but nothing else.
Box 3: Now we introduce an observer. The planet can ask the observer several questions. It can ask it who is the biggest, who has the greatest mass and which planet is moving or stationary. But the observer can only answer those questions with the equipment it has and he still cannot answer one of the questions at all. He can estimate mass, size but not movement because the observer could be moving in the same direction as one of the planets. Remember the old question of a bird sat on the 44kv power line asking where is all the voltage at? Its the same, the observer and one of the planets could be moving through space together and the other planet is stationary. We cannot answer that question truely until we introduce a fixed time reference point as in Box 4: The Sun. We introduce the Sun as a fixed reference and we can now estimate size, mass and movement. Voltage is the same, we cannot measure it as a finite entity until we introduce current, workload, a point of creation and a point of annihilation.
If any of those parameters are missing when we imagine voltage, it will behave just like the planet does in the pictures depending on what parameter is missing.
If you create voltage and that voltage doesn't recognise where the creation point is or where it came from it will be just like box 1, it knows nothing about itself and it cannot ask either therefore it becomes infinite just like the solitairy planet.
It will become finite when you apply a workload and an observer. Current is a form of workload and so is a fuel cell but without current.
All this happens in the strange world of the Quantum but is easier to see and explain in the macro.
If you create a voltage that has absolutely no idea of where it came from because it is no longer associated with its point of creation that very voltage will set off towards infinity simply because it doesn't know any reference points, once it does then the gradient will become level.
