Re: On "Electro-magnetic Energy--NOT--(Radiation?)"

Not apologizing for ML at all... just thought you would like to have an intelligent discussion about EM.

My mistake...

From
http://www.answers.com/topic/energy?cat=biz-fin

"the positive or negative attraction between two electromagnetically charged particles is analogous to the force of gravity."

It may be easier for most people to understand electromagnetic energy as "radiant" energy, not specifically "radiation".

Even more specifically, for biological applications, electromagnetic energy is electron transport...

From...

"The production of free radicals during mitochondrial respiration is part of a vital cellular process where electromagnetic energy (electron transport) is transformed into chemical energy through the production of a high-phosphate donor, i.e., ATP. It is the electron transport along a chain of carriers accompanied by a net translocation of H+ ions (protons) from the inside to the outside of the inner mitochondrial membrane that provides the driving force for the synthesis of ATP by ATP synthase. The ultimate electron acceptor along the chain is oxygen..."

Hopefully readers will not be blinded by the argument of word use you have with ML and recognize the very real importance of electromagnetic energy to the very existence of life itself.

Silly to argue about the finer points of it really when EM is constantly being redefined and more clearly understood almost daily, particularly as it relates to biological (life) systems, illustrated in the journal links I have provided for you.
