Using published data, we can derive direct experimental evidence for our statements.
Researchers, including Hodgkin and Huxley [9], are thinking in the Newtonian way. That is, they expect the current to appear promptly after switching on the clamping voltage. By using so, they assume that the transport speed of electrodiffusion in an axon and the electromagnetic field propagation aere the same. That fallacy is why Hodgkin and Huxley were convinced that the slowly moving charged object that they observed could not be current.
