Sorry Ken. My response was to something that DynaSoar wrote earlier that I
wanted clarification on.
Also I didn't know that you were the one that made the comment about
electric and magnetic fields. I read the post and didn't look at who posted
it. All that was salient about it was that the statement was wrong. With
respect to the nervous system then your right. I thought you meant in
general electromagnetic physics you could never have an electric field
without the presence of a magnetic field and vice-versa. (Actually in
perspective, my comment was entirely
irrelevent especially seeing how it was discussed so long before).
