Electrons are fundamental particles. They cant be destroyed, or made to dissapear, save by meeting anit-electrons (positrons). For that you need some considerably more sophisticated tech than a transistor or two, and you'll get radiation poisoning from the gamma rays produced by the annihilations.
MDV M.Phys (hons) ;).
And somewhat out of my comfort zone, but I at least believe I know this -
On the 'fragile harmonics' - bollocks. Transistors preserve far more information than valves, with next to zero distortion of any harmonic unless they clip (which is as we all know another story). Valves compress the waveform a little even when not clipping and in fact never perfectly relay a signal.
And if 'fragile harmonics' cant be preserved in crystal lattices, then how the $%&# do little chunks of millions of transistors running to a clock that ticks a couple of billion times a second not lose data?
Hes blustering (dumble that is), likely off the top of his head with nothing more than passing familiarity with the terminology of Condensed Matter and hoping that hes well enough protected by reputation and acolytes for it to pass unnoticed, or even supported.
