@MagiMysteryTour I think he is speculating that, if not for the dark age we might by now have developed vessels capable of relativistic travel - we would be nearly 2000 years ahead of where we are now, so perhaps its not impossible. At near light speeds it would in fact be possible to colonise much of the naked eye visible sky within a thousand years. A.C. Clark could never be accused of being ignorant, nor a choreographer of ignorance, I'm sure he gave this statement much thought.
"We would have colonized all the stars visible to the naked eye" if it were 4,000 A.D.? Fuck you Arthur Clarke for either being an ignorant moron or a deliberate choreographer of ignorance. The nearest star would take 50,000 years to reach at current top rocket speeds.
However there are. E.g. most cooks are aware that broth can go sour during storms & similarily milk has a tendency to go sour and curdle. Thus my suggestion is that the container might "decharge" rather than charge... and insulate the contents during fermentation. However it would require testing, as it is just an idea. Runi
It's not a case of it being broken. The copper cylinder was completely covered in bitumen. No current could be drawn without modifying the design. It wasn't a "battery".

It's normally referred to as the deluge, but if delusion works for you, and I'm guessing it does, go with it.

Electric charge during fermentation? I have done plenty of fermentation and was not aware of any problem or opportunity connected to electricity.
