Dynamic or Static?

Here's another can of worms for y'all to swallow:

I recall reading somewhere that Bearden stated that currently
Electromagnetics only described (pardon me if this is a little garbled -
I'm trying to recall this from memory) -- 'dynamic' actions, whereas
scalars were 'static'... which EM doesn't cover. Maybe I'm merely
confused... but it sounds like he was talking about static effects such as
depressurization (of an airtank or otherwise) -- where pressure is
released even though the release of pressure does not form a complete
circuit (which seems to defy Newton's 2nd Law). Am I merely confused, or
am I onto something here? (Clearly the 'air' in an airtank came from
somewhere... it's release was merely 'delayed' - and hence, it'd still be
a complete circuit - even if it took time for that air to be released...
it still formed a circuit, right?)

Damnit. It's too hot! Who the hell said spring could be so hot.
