electron. it turns out this and this, these charges are opposite and which belies a fundamental rule of electricity. opposite charges... attract. --attract. and like charges... repel. repel. repel. that's right. and so the negative charge is being attracted to the positive charge and whirls around, around, around in a very loose sense, in almost an incorrect sense. but we can think of it like a sun here and a planet going around and around and around. the force that holds the planet to the sun is the force that we don't understand it very well. we have a name for it begins with g. what is it? gravity. gravity. and the force that holds the electron to the proton is the force we call... electricity. begins with the e. -- ends with a l. electrical. electrical. it's the electrical force. so there's an electrical force between these two. now, we normally say that that atom has no net charge. do you hear me when i say no net charge? there is much positive as negative. in fact, if i had another charge

>> the electronic trading feeds off some of the physical trading. but most of it is electronic. you would not want the electronic trading to go down. that to me is the greatest wor neour markets today s. what's going to happen when those algorhythms kick in. you need to have people running the algorhythms. without people in the building, i think the electronic trading wouldn't have worked. >> tom: wasn't it a matter of regulators and administrators not being able to man or person the exchange in the trading versus the inability of brokers and trading to actually come to the marketplace and buy and sell? >> i think the algorhythms could have worked all by themselves with nobody involved. that's the way they operate now. but you need to have human beings and individuals available in case something goes wrong. and of course, you do need for the value traders -- you need to have somebody making a real decision whether to buy or not. >> tom: since 9/11, the exchange and brokerages have spent millions of dollars to build out redundant systems away from new york. if those are not used,

we could operate electronically a contingency plan in place and others operate electronically on a regularnyway. i think the industry correctly pointed out to us whether the markets are physical markets or electronic markets they would have to mobilize their staff to put it in place and we all made the right decision not to do that. so i think that was a good call. ashley: did you get a call, was it the sec who listened the concerns of the banks and brokerages that ultimately spoke to you sunday afternoon and had you reverse your initial decision? >> sorry you will have to repeat that. i'm at home and our son who never practices piano decided this would be a good time. ashley: we'll listen to that. after the sec announced sunday around that you would open on a electronic scenario did sec listen the banks and brokerages and ultimately convince you to not open on monday? >> that is a bit out of, that is a bit out of chronological order. so what happened is, the banks and brokers gave us feedback after our announcement we were on a call with a number of sifma representatives. after that was d

electronically. several hours later, they decided to just shut the whole market. i was struck when, you know, i first got the e-mail saying they were closing the physical building and trading would go on. that basically was, for me, the evidence that trading will happen. you don't need the floor. what's your take on that? >> well, it's total role reversal, maria. i think the customer world recognized that the stock exchange and the nasdaq and the other market providers, the market platform provide errspro ready go electronically, but you need people to operate that technology, and you need customers to provide content to the marketplace. what you would have had with simply an electronic version of price discovery is something i think a lot of people would have been very disappointed in. i think it basically would have lent itself to greater market volatility, price dislocation, and no one would have been happy. i think while the markets were ready to go, the customers weren't ready, and the markets r

well electronic trading is not trading without humans. there's plenty of people involved in electronic trading and every day you have tens of thousands of people who are involved in the stock market who are marketmakers in one form or another on trading desks around the united states, particularly in manhattan, or who are hedge funds. if you decide to remove all those people from the market because they can't get to work, who are you going to trade with? i think they thought the risk-reward ratio wasn't high enough. >> how much of the trading is actually done electronically? i saw one stat -- don't know whether this is true or not -- that 90% is done electronically. >> depends what you mean. if you mean executed by computer programs, yes, the new york stock exchange, for example the floor of the new york stock exchange, executes about 20% of the total new york volume. that's small. used to be 85%. even when you have electronic trading being executed where computers are executing programs, they're executing them on behalf of people and tho

those electrons are bopping around and those electrons-- hit their neighbors-- and that energy cascades all down the middle. so it turns out that things with lose electrons are good heat conductors. later on, we're gonna learn things with good-- with lose electrons are good electrical conductors. and how many say, "oh, that's probably a coincidence"? it's not a coincidence. it's a good electrical conductor for the same reason. those lose electctrons can flowight through a piece of metal, gang and when that--now, we're talking about electricity. we'll be talking about that soon, yeah? but for now, those metal-- those little electrons will bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, which are lose in metals and carry that energy right along. so some things conduct better than other things. piece of wood, very, very good insulator. this wood is a good insulator at any temperature. this wood is a good insulator even if it's very, very hot. yep. did you ever reach in to a hot oven and grabbed on to a frying fan that's about maybe 400 degrees fahrenheit? you're gonna cook some food or something, you got a fryin
