Animal Electricity Debate / 动物电争论

Animal electricity debate is the episode’s nameable scientific controversy around whether living bodies contain their own electricity. In 141. 制造弗兰肯斯坦：科幻之母和她的神奇时代, Luigi Galvani’s frog-leg experiments suggest a biological electrical force, while Alessandro Volta argues that the electricity comes from metal contact and builds the voltaic pile.

The debate matters for 《弗兰肯斯坦》 because it makes bodily movement under current a culturally charged observation. The source links that charge to Giovanni Aldini’s demonstrations and the wider Galvanic Reanimation Imaginary / 伽伐尼式复活想象 around life, death, and electricity.
