All the atoms which make up the wire do a massive Mexican
wave and carry the electricity energy with them.
Each atom has several electrons which become excited just
like you do when the Mexican wave is coming towards you.
The wave travels at what would seem like the speed of light
but in fact the atoms do not move much at all. Approx 80mm a
day if you want to get technical.
