Living Organism versus Electricity

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the effects of exposing a living organism to extremely high levels of electricity, specifically 250,000 Amperes at 1,000,000 Volts. It highlights that such values are extraordinarily high, with electrocution likely resulting in severe consequences such as nerve damage, cardiac arrest, and burns. The conversation notes that while high voltage is dangerous, the impact also depends on amperage, with higher amperage leading to more severe outcomes even at lower voltages. Comparisons are made to other experiments, such as the hamster-in-microwave scenario, emphasizing that different types of electrical exposure (like RF fields versus arc discharges) have varying effects on organisms. The thread reflects a mix of curiosity and caution regarding the lethal potential of high-voltage electricity on living beings.

I was wondering for quite a while what would happen if you exposed a living organism to electricity of ~250.000 Ampère at 1.000.000 Volts (I'm unsure if the values given are insanely high or not).
Would the organism just end up "everywhere" or something else??

Electrocution can cause nerve damage, stop the heart and burn the organism. The values you have given are insanely high, a bit of googling will show that above 10kv death in humans is highly likely though there are rare records of survival at voltages of over 100kv.

That I know.
I've read multiple questions and answers about this topic and of them end like: "high-voltage is dangerous, yes; but it also depends on the amperage (the higher the amperage the server the consequences at lower voltage)".

...what about the hamster-in-microwave experiment?
 
RF fields are very different from arc discharges in their effects.

There's never a thread-closing mod around when you need one.

I am reading Nicholas Wade's book A Troublesome Inheritance. Please let's not make this thread a critique about the merits or demerits of the book. This thread is my attempt to understanding the evidence that Natural Selection in the human genome was recent and regional. On Page 103 of A Troublesome Inheritance, Wade writes the following: "The regional nature of selection was first made evident in a genomewide scan undertaken by Jonathan Pritchard, a population geneticist at the...
