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, [[LuigiGalvani|Luigi Galvani]]’s frog-leg experiments suggest a biological electrical force, while [[AlessandroVolta|Alessandro Volta]] argues that the electricity comes from metal contact and builds the voltaic pile.

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