I appreciate your pointing out that aspect of atoms etc. However, the
photoelectric effect giving us photoelectricity is the exact
manifestation of electronic flow in a conductor. This is somewheat
similar but different in a nerve fiber where the underlying ionic
fluxes alter the course and speed of electronic propagation. Please
rethink.
