Enough voltage can force electricity through solid walls

HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART

Insulators like rubber or glass are supposed to stop electricity from flowing. But if you crank the voltage high enough, the electrical pressure literally rips the electrons from their stable atomic orbits, forcing a violent current straight through the solid material. It turns out that with enough raw voltage, absolute physical rules become mere suggestions.
