When you think about it, what can cause "friction" in a current in say a
pure metal? Electrons bumping into other electrons? I would think that is
highly unlikely as the coulomb repulsion would be too high would it not? I
can't say I've ever read a truly satisfying answer to this personally.
Perhaps it is the thermal photon exchange that is involved? Close to a zero
temp there would be very few thermal photons flying about.
Curious.
