Re:Why does current flow the opposite way from the electrons? by remram on Saturday June 22, 2024 @09:20AM (#40758959)
We do talk about water moving down though. There is no reason current should be bubbles.

A rationalization after the fact is different from a reason.

In semi-conductor design discussions around transistors and motion of electrons, it’s often much more convenient to talk about hole (bubble) migration than electron migration.

It’s really a moot point as to whether the abstraction used to solve problems matches with the physicalist interpretation of reality.
