Franklin,
I am not expert in how Hall sensors work, but from the link you supplied, it appears they are designed to detect magnetic fields that are static or very slowly varying, whereas EM waves are rapidly varying.
Take for example a sensor that can detect North pole (with needle swinging to the right of a zero mark) and South pole (needle swinging to the right of a zero mark).
Because of the very rapid change in polarity in an EM wave, the needle will remain on the zero mark, which is the average position when there is very high change in polarity. Note that inertia is also involved.
Like Buridan’s ass that died because it is undecided between drinking water (analogous to swinging left) or eating food (analogous to swinging right), the needle is being given conflicting instructions at a very rapid rate, viz. swing left, no sooner it wants to obey that, another instruction comes, swing right, etc. At the end, the needle decides to remain where it is.
To detect EM wave, we need a detector that its technology depends on time-varying magnetic fields, not static or very slowly varying magnetic fields. Antennae are examples, not Hall sensor.

Subject: Re: The meaning of U and the magnetic field.Akinbo,
Yes, it would probably make a terrible AM radio, but could still be done in practice.
Also, we can make very slow radio signals that could be received by hall sensors in an experiment. There is no point in pointing out higher radio frequencies when we can make the radio signals match the hall sensor specifications.
Here's a sensor good to out to 25Khz, this is the radio band used by aviation among other uses.
There is absolutely no way you can make the claim that hall effect sensors shouldn't be able to see the magnetic field of an ordinary radio signal. You can look all you want, but you won't find a single experiment showing a hall effect sensor picking up any radio signal. It just doesn't happen because it doesn't happen. So actually, you can't build an AM radio out of a hall effect sensor. If radio waves really did contain magnetic fields, then you would be able to detect the AM radio signal with a hall sensor. But since you cannot, this is fairly good proof that no such magnetic fields exist in radio waves, no matter how powerful. You could put the hall sensor right next to a kilowatt AM commercial transmitter and see absolutely nothing.
The bottom line is that there are absolutely no detectable magnetic fields in an in-flight radio wave. None. Zip. Nada and no experimental evidence (that doesn't already rely on the circular induction argument by measuring voltage) shows this. If someone bothered to do a very high sensitivity hall effect sensor test, this could be conclusively proven experimentally. Really, that should be the next radio experiment I should try to conduct to show that radio signals contain no magnetic fields since nobody else seems to have cared to show this.

Franklin,See below follow up from AI, how do you respond?
[24/11, 07:01] Akinbo: Can Hall sensors detect magnetic fields in kHz range like AM radio?
[24/11, 07:02] Meta AI: Hall sensors can detect magnetic fields, but their bandwidth is typically limited to a few kHz, making them unsuitable for detecting AM radio frequencies (535-1605 kHz). They're better suited for low-frequency applications like position sensing or current sensing. For AM radio detection, you'd typically use a coil or antenna.

[21/11, 06:50] Akinbo: What is a hall sensor?[21/11, 06:50] Meta AI: A Hall sensor! 🤔
- Magnetic field detector: Measures magnetic field strength using Hall effect
- Works on principle: Voltage difference appears when conductor/magnet moves in field
- Applications: Position sensing, current sensing, automotive, robotics...
Tiny, reliable, and widely used in tech!
[21/11, 06:51] Akinbo: What is Hall effect?
[21/11, 06:51] Meta AI: The Hall effect is a fundamental concept!
- Voltage generation: When a current-carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field, a voltage (Hall voltage) appears perpendicular to both current and field
- Deflection of charges: Magnetic field deflects moving charges, creating an electric field
- Used in sensors: Hall sensors measure magnetic fields, detect position, speed, etc.
A key phenomenon in physics and engineering!
[21/11, 06:53] Akinbo: Can Hall sensor detect time-varying magnetic field in electromagnetic wave?
[21/11, 06:53] Meta AI: Hall sensors can detect magnetic fields, but:
- Limited bandwidth: Hall sensors are generally slow (~kHz range)
- EM waves are fast: Typical EM waves (radio, light) have high frequencies (MHz to GHz+)
- Not suitable: Hall sensors aren't designed for detecting high-frequency EM waves
For EM waves, other detectors (antennas, photodiodes) are more suitable.

Yes, high quality hall sensors can detect very fast changes, I don't know about 10^10 but there are certainly much lower radio frequencies that can be used. Yes, it will precisely identify the specific N/S orientation of the field.
Your phone has such a sensor in it and if you wave a magnet around, you can see the XYZ orientation of the magnetic field using a simple app. It does not rely upon induction, but rather uses the direct lorentz force to measure the deflection of charge through a magnetic field.
So, why no direct experiments if this can be done?
-Franklin
Franklin,Can there be voltage without time-varying magnetic field?
Also, if magnetic field changes from N to S, and S back to N, at a rate of more than 10^10 times per second, is your Hall detector able to measure such unstable magnetic orientation? Will it identify it as N or as S?Just asking...Akinbo

Subject: Re: The meaning of U and the magnetic field.Akinbo,
Using Faraday's law is circular reasoning. By the time it hits a conductor, you are measuring voltage, it is no longer a magnetic wave which has a measurable N/S vector which is completely lost in this measurement and worst of all "assumes" that this is due to induction which is the very thing that is at question here.
So, completely invalid!!!
Remember, you cannot measure teslas in volts!!!
And we do have instruments like hall detectors which can detect the N/S orientation of a time varying magnetic field in free space.
Why don't we use them????
-Franklin
Franklin,My reply to Carl needs to be a studied one, so I will do that tomorrow.Measuring or detecting a wave comprising of a time-varying magnetic field is based on what we know as Faraday’s law, which tells us what will happen when this type of wave impinges on a conductor.

Subject: Re: The meaning of U and the magnetic field.Akinbo,
Of course, you realize that I think the EM wave equation as a transverse electric/magnetic field phenomenon is completely wrong. A light wave is definitely not a time varying magnetic disturbance. Not even mainstream believes it is only a magnetic field. I don't think any magnetic field is involved in lightwave transmission.
You did remember that didn't you?
What do I think the light/radio wave actually is? Try to recall, since I've mentioned it a million times and you have to pull it out of your head in order to recognize it. Otherwise, just don't think it will register.
I don't need any fancy transverse wave equation to describe it.
So, why would I be impressed by any form of the EM wave equation? I think this is absolutely the biggest mistake that Maxwell promoted which everyone believes, but has NEVER been experimentally verified by measuring the actual in flight separate electric and magnetic fields at 90 degrees to each other and in phase. All of these things can be experimentally measured, but why do think that you can find absolutely no experimental reference that actually proves this?
Akinbo, I ask you in all honesty, why are there no direct proof experiments? If there were, then you could prove your contention that it is only a magnetic field, but there is no proof of any kind.
This also seemingly has absolutely nothing to do with main topic which how the magnetic field is mediated by some medium. The argument I am putting forward is that the medium must be a composite substance which has at least 2 recognizable points which can determine the vector direction and a way to express the magnitude. The poselectron dipole fulfills this role perfectly. On the other hand, this featureless medium that all the rest of you are in love with doesn't have anything that could possibly describe the magnetic field vector. Nothing of what you are saying here refutes that contention. So, try to get back on topic.
-Franklin
Franklin,
You lamented recently about not being taken seriously. To do theoretical physics, you must be bilingual, i.e. understand English (prose) and Greek (math). Even if not fluent, you must seek to understand both. And in today’s world, you can even have AI translate for you. So, your situation is a self-inflicted one when you say things like, “Quite frankly, I don't understand your meaning and I honestly don't want to even try”, “I don't think that equations devoid of any connection to reality are worth pursuing”, etc
Anyway, here goes...
∇2(∇×U) = (1/c2).∂2(∇×U)/∂t2 is Greek, in English, it means the transverse wave equation in an elastic medium.
Now, according to Maxwell A is similar to U, and U is similar A (U ≡ A).
Substituting that into the Greek statement above, you get another Greek statement
∇2(∇×A) = (1/c2).∂2(∇×A)/∂t2
Two days ago, when you were not feeling too lazy, you asked AI for assistance, viz. “so I had to look up what "A" meant”, and AI correctly told you that ∇×A = B.
From that, you should be able to see that in Greek, the equation becomes:
∇2B = (1/c2).∂2B/∂t2
In English, that is wave equation for a time-varying magnetic disturbance in an elastic continuum, which we call “light wave”.

Subject: Re: The meaning of U and the magnetic field.Akinbo and David,
I am still puzzled by what this could possibly do with how magnetism work so I had to look up what "A" meant
So at least it can tie to magnetism. Although, I think Maxwell's conception of magnetism which David likes with things that have rotating cells is completely wrong and unnecessary.Looking into that more, this is what Maxwell thought:
I would respond by saying that my hypothesis doesn't need the complication of vortices or idle wheels. These seem to be a complex mechanical invention which just don't seem plausible. How do these vortices form? What are they made of? What keeps them stable? What powers them? Too many unanswered questions. The only thing my hypothesis requires is a simple unorganized field of charged dipoles. That seems very likely and is exactly how charges would spontaneously arrange themselves - this is demonstrated in computer simulations.
The magnetic field has nothing to do with rotavating vortices but has to so with the simple observation that if you shoot a negative charge between a positive and negative charge, it will obviously deflect towards the positive charge and away from the negative one. This is the basic action of a magnetic field, to deflect an electron only in motion. The explanation of rotating vortices doesn't explain at all why an electron should deflect in a magnetic field except for maybe it gets caught up in the flow created by the vortices. But if you accept that, then you can't explain why a positive charge then deflects in exactly the opposite direction to that same vortex flow. You can't have it both ways. You also can't explain why a stationary charge in a magnetic field feels absolutely no force at all. If the force was due to being caught in the vortices flow, then force should always be applied the electron and it can't possibly remain stationary. Since it remains stationary, this cannot be the origin for the magnetic force.
The idea that electric currents are the "idle wheels" just seems outrageous. I think most people would agree that electric currents are caused by the presence of electrons which are physically moving through the conductor as they pass from atom to atom. There are no such "idle wheels" in space, only conductors and electrons. But Maxwell needed these idle wheels to "predict" the electromagnetic wave as requiring the displacement current concept. I don't think Maxwell "predicted" anything. This was just a completely made up set of chalkboard equations which has nothing to do with reality. Sure, the equations work, they look great, but you'll never be able experimentally detect anything like a displacement current or even anything that looks like the electromagnetic wave that is frequently displayed in college text books. It just doesn't exist and idle wheels as currents is just the complete opposite of what it should be.
Electromagnetic induction is indeed a very difficult problem for any theory of magnetism. Maxwell wants to have these spinning wheels which basically store magnetic inertia and so keep spinning even after the current is turned off. I don't think there can be anything like a magnetic inertia, but we have to explain why the magnetic field continues to persist when the current is turned off. My hypothesis proposes that the magnetic field lines actually move out of the wire and into space as real magnetic line entities. It is when these magnetic lines contact electrons in conductors, that it causes them to deflect only when the lines are in motion. This is the initial induction effect from outward moving magnetic field lines. When you turn off the current, the magnetic field lines are still out there in space, but since they are no longer supported by new current, the field lines start collapsing back towards the wire which again, causes electrons to be deflected in the opposite direction as the secondary induction effect as the magnetic field lines return back to the wire. We can see the opposite currents in the following diagram showing induction effects.
Once again, my paper for anyone who wants to learn how a magnetic field could possibly have the properties that it does.No vortices, no wheels, no helixes just polarized charged dipoles.
In light of how I believe the magnetic field actually operates, Maxwell's conception is completely defective and on the completely wrong track. We should not pay any attention to it at all. I would also bring David's attention to the objections I have to this whole rotating vortices thing as just being completely unlikely and too complex to model reality. My conception of a polarized dipole sea appears to explain all of the known magnetic phenomenon including the Faraday's paradox without invoking a complex mechanical system of idle wheels. Why wouldn't you adopt this simpler explanation which doesn't rely on any kind of "flow" of anything to explain magnetic forces. It only relies on simple Coulomb force of opposite charges and shows the real relationship between the electric and magnetic forces.
Of course, my conception absolutely relies on the existence of dipole particles in free space. Without those dipole particles, there would be no way to express the magnetic vector which is why I reject all the notions that space is some kind of uniform continuous featureless substance which only supports waves which is what Andy, Cornelis and Akinbo are pushing for. But when you ask them how things like the Coulomb or magnetic force works, there is no real answer because a uniform medium cannot possibly support these kinds of forces.
So while Maxwell's remark cannot be denied, I'd probably say this remark is also likely wrong and irrelevant.
-Franklin
Franklin,
Re: “Quite frankly, I don't understand your meaning and I honestly don't want to even try”
Well, I must commend you for living up to your name. Thank you for being frank.
There is no point pushing you further since you admit not wanting to try because if one must drink from the well of wisdom that you can find in Maxwell’s Treatise, you must at least try to go to the well and look inside it. Someone nearby may then help you fetch you a drink. I must say that I took that step and benefited from what four persons on this email list had to say. I will mention three of them, Harry, Slobodan, and Musa Abdullahi. Outside this forum, there was Gurcharn Sandhu.
In the theory of elastic mediums, displacement vector field U just refers to that area of disturbance when there is an ingress of energy into the medium. This has nothing to do with whether this medium is particulate or non-particulate.
So, yes, Maxwell is not a god, and he never proclaimed himself as one. But after struggling for many years and toying with several models, particulate and non-particulate, fluid and solid, vortices and non-vortices, he made his final declaration, categorically saying that his vector field A IS SIMILAR to the displacement vector field U of elastic solid theory. This remark cannot be denied and I hope to discuss this further very soon.

If air was expanding around a heated wire that would apply, but wouldn't apply to stationary dipoles merely changing their orientation and I don't know what this even has to do with the word "transverse" as there is nothing transverse involved.
So, no, I'm just disagreeing with you and your mysterious line of reasoning.
Why don't you just tell me where you are going with this? What is you point in even bringing this up? So far, seems completely pointless in the discussion of the featureless medium and the origins of magnetism. Don't think you can trap me into saying "yes" to some obscure confusing concept and then say "ah ha" you are wrong.
Just say what you mean and then we can reasonably discuss it instead of you trying to trap me by obscurity.
Also, I don't take Maxwell as a "god like" authority. If he was so smart, then mainstream would already have magnetism as settled science. We do not, so Maxwell isn't an authority.
I disagree with a lot more people than Maxwell, because they are obviously wrong. This is why no real progress has been made in physics in the past 100 years. We need to stop hero worshiping and start from scratch.
-Franklin
Franklin, et.al.,
If change of alignment occurs around the surrounding of a wire when electric current J is switched on, this area of change is the displacement vector field U. If the change of alignment is of the nature of difference in the distance between points in the surrounding, such as would be the case due to energy from a heated wire causing expansion in the surrounding air, that will be the longitudinal component of U and is denoted by ∇·U.
If the change of alignment is like what you depict in your poselectron sea, that will be the transverse component of U, denoted by ∇×U.
So, energy can be stored in a medium either as ∇·U or as ∇×U depending on the elastic properties of that medium.
Maxwell is telling you that we should take ∇×U = B, where B is the magnetic field. Are you disagreeing with him?

You seem to understand that magnetism is due to alignment, though I don’t know if this has anything to do with a transverse U field since nothing is undergoing an actual movement to a different location, just a twist.

Franklin,
Okay now that you have no problem with the existence of displacement vector field U, consider that when there is ingress of energy into an elastic medium, or poselectron sea, as you prefer, the mathematics of U shows that it can have two components, longitudinal and transverse, denoted by ∇·U and ∇×U respectively. These respectively represent the storage of energy as volumetric strain (compression-rarefaction) and shear strain in the underlying medium. For wave phenomena, ∇·U travels as longitudinal wave, ∇×U while propagates as a transverse wave.
In your poselectron model, you have depicted what happens to the poselectron medium around a wire when electric current is switched on, and there is an ingress of energy into the surrounding of the wire.
In your depiction, we don’t see a stretching or increase of the spaces between the poselectrons, i.e. a volumetric strain. What you show in your model is that the inter-poselectron spaces are preserved, but there is a twisting in their alignment and this effect manifests as a magnetic field B.
Will it be correct to say that this ingress of energy into poselectron sea, and its storage therein, manifests as the transverse component of displacement vector field U, i.e. ∇×U?

This is trivial and could be readily measured in a medium which contained trackable points such as a particulate medium, but would be impossible to measured in a medium with no trackable points. So this cannot possibly apply to the medium you are proposing. So there is no point in discussing it.

I would continue to argue that a "featureless medium" cannot have the "feature" of "elasticity". If any medium had any concept of elasticity, this would mean that the medium must have "features" which allow it to be measured as either being in a stretched or relaxed state which requires the presence of trackable markers in the medium to be able to make that distinction.
I would also say that a featureless medium would not be be able to support an ingress of energy as some feature of the medium would have to change in order to accept such an ingress. So, really, a featureless medium can have no material property changes of any kind because there are simply no features to detect.
But certainly elastic mediums would create a displacement vector field however, your featureless medium is incapable of any such elasticity. Elasticity is trivially explained in a particulate medium, but is logically impossible to describe for a featureless medium.
This is my main point:
A featureless medium cannot have any features such as elasticity. It is logically impossible. Therefore this concept should be immediately rejected on this basis alone.
I would recommend that you abandon the featureless medium concept in favor of some medium which has trackable features like particles even if you can't describe what those particles are. It could be like David's sub-aether which flows and is of an unknown composition, but it is much better than something that doesn't have any features at all.
Really, the only objection you have to a particle aether is that you are "stuck" with the naive notion that it must cause frictional losses and cause anything travelling in it to slow down. I have been unsuccessful in persuading you that this doesn't happen even though I have shown real physical examples of experiments which show that no frictional losses are possible. I cannot prove it to you, so I would recommend that you just accept that as a "postulate" which would then allow you to accept the more common sense notion that a medium must consist of particles in order to support a wave.
I think that is a far better alternative than to continue to accept the illogical and impossible featureless medium which has features.
A featureless medium with features - that is a simple logical inconsistency.
It's like saying "A colorless liquid which is blue". It is either colorless or blue, it cannot be the same at the same time. A logical inconsistency.

Re: “How can something so featureless possibly describe a vector direction and a magnitude? It cannot.”
You raise some pertinent issues here, which I also missed my way a bit and had to grapple with while developing my model.
First, in earlier communication, I had told you that the “featureless medium” has elasticity, and I used bonds to explain that to you. I also informed that the physical property permittivity, ε is not a property of atoms, positrons or electrons, but of that “featureless medium” between them, whose quantity depends on r, e.g. as in F = QQ’/4πεr2.
But the most important thing from what you said is that when energy is introduced into the “featureless medium”, IT IS the resulting displacement/deformation field, where this energy is stored, that has magnitude and a vector direction.
In elastic continuum mechanics, this field is usually represented by the bold letter U, because it is a vector and so has magnitude and direction. (No need to go into the details, but see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displacement_field_(mechanics)#Spatial_coordinates_(Eulerian_description)).
The elastic properties of the “featureless medium” is what determine how the energy will be stored in it. This can either be as a volumetric strain (e.g. stretching or compression), or a non-volumetric strain (e.g. rotation or torsion). A gas or liquid for example will store energy as a volumetric strain, while a solid can store energy in both ways.
So, what has magnitude and direction IS the disturbance in the featureless medium due to the ingress of energy, and it represented as U in many discussions of elastic continuum mechanics.
If you understand this so far, that will be a big plus.
Akinbo
Franklin,
Okay. Do you at least admit that an alternating current induces a fluctuating, i.e. time-varying magnetic field B around the circuit wire, and that this fluctuating magnetic field can in turn induce a fluctuating electric current in a nearby circuit, even when there is no physical matter connecting both circuit wires? Yes or No.
If you do admit to this, which I believe you will, do you accept that this will be in conformity with Faraday’s law, whereby a time-varying magnetic field can induce an electric current in nearby receiving circuit? Yes or No.
If you don’t object, then probably what you are saying is that when the distance between the transmitting antenna is far from the receiving circuit wire, in such cases the energy is not being conveyed by a magnetic field, and the electric current induced in the receiver is no longer due to Faraday's law. Is this your claim?
I believe that it is your claim that Hall Sensor can measure the magnetic field produced around a wire at by an alternating current at below 25kHz. What you are saying is that the physics will change at very much higher frequencies, even though we may observe that electric current is similarly induced at a receiving antenna at the expected very much higher frequency?
You may call an AI friend to explain why the physics does not change to what you are proposing it will.

Franklin,
Given your ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ to the questions, and what you earlier discovered concerning the sensitivity of Hall Sensor to limit below 25kHz, take note that from what I have read, it takes alternating current by far above this frequency to generate waves that can carry energy away from the source wire to a distant receiver (20kHz to 300GHz). And I believe the higher the frequency the further from source that the message can be coherently delivered.
So, from your responses, you admit that when sending a message to a receiving circuit at a frequency below 25kHz, the messenger IS the magnetic field B, and is measurable within the limits of the Hall Sensor, and the message in turn is delivered to the receiving circuit according to Faraday’s law. This you also admit and say ‘Yes’ to.
In delivering this message as above, the “hidden wire” is asleep and so incapable of delivering any message when the AC current is below 25kHz.
It is now your proposition, that as soon as we pump up the frequency to the radio frequency range up to 300,000,000kHz (1GHz = 1,000,000kHz), the hidden wire that has been dormant at low frequencies, suddenly wakes up and tells the previous messenger, i.e. magnetic field B, and the previously operational Faraday’s law, to cease and desist from further acting. Telling them it is taking over their jobs!!
If you are running the affairs, do you consider this economical and efficient that the previous messenger, magnetic field B and the previous law, Faraday’s law, be sacked and your hidden wire employed in their place, just because Hall Sensor cannot measure magnetic fields atsuch higher frequencies?
Do you think mainstream and even non-mainstream can take you serious on such a proposition?
Akinbo
Franklin,
You said this, which caught my eye, “You can always transmit at a frequency to match the range of the Hall sensor. You keep on forgetting that part.”
False. I am not a radio engineer but I have read that in antenna design, not all frequencies can be transmitted beyond the near-field. Unfortunately, from what we both have gathered using AI, Hall sensors have their magnetic field detecting ability restricted to the very low frequencies.
In any case, you have disavowed the role of Faraday’s law in how electric current is produced at a distant receiving antenna. And in your hidden wire model, viz. “The analogy I use is that of a hidden wire conductor connecting the transmitter and the receiver. Such a setup would receive the high frequency electric current and would not involve Faraday's law. This is why I call it a "direct conduction" method...”, you refer to the hidden wire as a conductor.
Conductors carrying current have a magnetic field around them, in obedience to Ampère’s law. This being so, if your own hidden wire is capable of “direct conduction” as you say, and has no magnetic field around it, you are now disavowing two important laws, quite apart from the ridiculous proposition of a hidden wire.
Akinbo
Franklin,
A hall sensor is only designed to detect magnetic fields that are trapped and circulating inside matter. Think of a magnet or a coil as a rocky section of a river where the water forms little whirlpools behind the rocks. Those whirlpools are the “magnetic loops” that a hall sensor can detect in the near field.
Move that same hall sensor out into the middle of the river where the water is flowing freely and there are no rocks, and it reads nothing. Not because the water disappeared, but because there is no trapped circulation for the tool to measure. That's the far field.
A radio wave is the free flowing water in the middle of the river. It is not a trapped eddy. The magnetic part of the wave is not a circular loop anchored in matter, so a hall sensor has nothing to detect. The tool is built for eddies, not free waves. It cannot tell you anything about the magnetic component of a radio wave, because that information is not expressed as a loop or a pole once the field is free of matter.
You would not claim a river has no water because your whirlpool detector reads zero. Same thing here.
Your radio isn't proof that a magnetic field made it's way from the transmitter to the receiver. The magnetic field has never been directly measured by instruments that can only detect magnetic fields and can detect the N/S oscillation vectors. My point with Hall effect sensors is that they "should" be able to directly confirm the existence of far field EM waves in accordance to their description in mainstream. There should definitely be papers about this detection but you cannot find any such papers showing a "direct" detection. Even though hall sensors should be able to detect the radio signal, they do not, which is direct evidence against radio waves containing magnetic fields. That is "direct" experimental evidence that radio waves do not use magnetic fields - to be clear.It is only proof that some kind of electrical signal was able to be replicated between the transmitter and the receiver.The alternate theory of how it got there would be that the aether acted as a direct conductor to transmit the electrical current directly to the receiver without the use of magnetic fields. It is as if the transmitter and receiver were connected by a "hidden wire". If you think this is far fetched, then I would remind you this is exactly how your cable TV is received in your house, it is directly conducted over a copper wire that goes into the same antenna input as the over the air antenna. There is no difference to the TV. No EM magnetic/electric field is involved with the cable TV transmission. I claim there is no EM wave required in the over the air radio transmission as well. It is a direct "conduction" effect in both cases and simply use different mediums (copper wires or aether)How could you prove whether it was induction and magnetic fields that was being used or a direct conduction through the aether?What experiments could you do to prove one and disprove the other?The problem is that everyone has been so "brainwashed" into thinking that EM waves are this self propagating electric and magnetic field, that they can't conceive it being anything else and they are simply unwilling to even test if it is true and to deliberately ignore any evidence to the contrary. So they make the mistake that the fact that radios works confirms the mainstream view of radio transmission which could still be totally wrong and I am claiming it is wrong.This would be like saying the car works by squirrels pushing the cylinders up and down. Then you show that the car works, so that means it must be the squirrels doing it. This is an obviously defective circular argument which presumes as true the very thing that needs to be proven.-FranklinOn Wednesday, December 3, 2025 at 08:01:52 AM PST, Andy Schultheis <andre...@gmail.com> wrote:Franklin,What specifically are you suggesting here?

This response is your way of having to disobey Ampère’s law, but you don’t mind being in the bad books for Faraday’s law.
Now, you have rested your case on the Hall Sensor’s abilities, in spite of its limitations. Your expressed concern is not whether or not the magnetic field plays an active role or is merely a side-effect, but that it must be detectable using Hall Sensor for you to accept its presence. By this same logic, if Hall Sensor cannot detect the magnetic field around your hidden wire, then we must also question the existence of such a wire. Don’t you think so?

It should be intuitively obvious to anyone familure with radio technology that no current is transmitted or can be measured at the open end of a current meter.
The point where a conductor is open-circuited (like the "open end" of a meter) is a current node where the conduction current is zero. Therefore your understanding that a current should be measurable at this point is incorrect under standard electromagnetic and circuit theory principles.
The two attached GIFs illustrate key concepts related to electromagnetic waves and polarization, which are fundamental to understanding the electromagnetic field tensor in physics.
The first GIF, showing a wave with a rotating field vector tracing a helix, most clearly represents circular polarization or elliptical polarization.
Helical Path: The tip of the electric field vector (the green lines within the helix) traces a helix as the wave propagates along the central axis (the direction of propagation, which appears to be the z-axis).
Vector Rotation: The field vector itself is rotating in the plane perpendicular to the direction of travel, while its magnitude remains constant (for circular polarization) or changes (for elliptical polarization).
Relation to Tensors: This rotation of the electric and magnetic fields cannot be fully described by simple scalar or vector fields in three dimensions alone. The antisymmetric nature of the electromagnetic field tensor, , naturally incorporates the geometric relationship between the components of the and fields as they oscillate and propagate, especially in a relativistic context. The tensor components govern how the fields are intertwined and rotated with respect to each other and the direction of motion.
The second GIF, showing two oscillating fields perpendicular to each other and to the direction of propagation, represents a plane-polarized electromagnetic wave.
Perpendicularity: It clearly shows the Electric Field () (e.g., the green wave) and the Magnetic Field () (e.g., the blue wave) are perpendicular to each other ().
Transverse Wave: Both fields are also oscillating perpendicular to the direction of wave travel (the x-axis in this representation), confirming that electromagnetic waves are transverse waves.
In-Phase Oscillation: The peaks and troughs of the and fields align in space, showing they are in-phase in a vacuum.
Relation to Tensors: This standard description of an electromagnetic wave is the result of solving Maxwell's equations in a vacuum. The field tensor is a compact, 4-dimensional object (a 4x4 matrix) that combines the 3 components of the field and the 3 components of the field.
The wave's properties, such as its velocity () and the transverse nature of the fields, are inherently encoded in how the components of are related through the tensor form of Maxwell's equations.
The electromagnetic field tensor () is a central concept in relativistic electromagnetism because it provides a unified description of the and fields that is Lorentz-invariant (meaning its form is the same for all inertial observers).
In classical (non-relativistic) physics, and are treated as separate vector fields.
In the framework of Special Relativity, an observer moving relative to an electromagnetic field will measure different and fields. For example, what one observer measures as a purely field, another moving observer might measure as a combination of and fields.
The tensor elegantly bundles these six components () into a single 4-dimensional object. This structure guarantees that the physics described by the tensor form of Maxwell's equations is covariant—it holds true in all inertial reference frames.
Both GIFs are visualizations of the and fields, which are the components of the electromagnetic field tensor .
Plane Polarization (GIF 2): In a plane-polarized wave traveling in the direction, only specific components of the and fields are non-zero (e.g., ). These non-zero components occupy specific slots in the matrix, demonstrating how the tensor encompasses this type of wave.
Circular/Elliptical Polarization (GIF 1): This type of wave is described by having two field components (e.g., and ) oscillating with equal amplitude but out of phase by (circular) or unequal amplitude (elliptical). The combined effect of these components dictates how the off-diagonal terms in the field tensor behave as the wave propagates.
In essence, the GIFs are visual representations of the physical manifestations of the combined and fields, whose deep mathematical and relativistic structure is unified by the electromagnetic field tensor.

Cornelis, et.al.,
Yes, the picture and animations are useful and look like those in the Wikipedia page that I sent earlier. Also, like I mentioned Ron Hatch also envisioned a kind of helical model (still looking for it).
Now, having said this, there is a need to clarify something which is very important, but has been buried in most discussions. During the Saturday Chat there were issues concerning it that were raised by two people, one of whom was James Marsen. In your AI interpretation of the images, it was referred to as the electric field vector (viz. “The tip of the electric field vector (the green lines within the helix) traces a helix as the wave propagates along the central axis”). Usually, the symbol E is used to represent it.
But what is it?
Is it as defined by good old Maxwell? Or has its definition been corrupted over the years to mean something different from what Maxwell intended?
I don’t know your own definition, but let me quote what I believe is that of Maxwell:
“It is also called the resultant electrical force, being the force which would be experienced by a unit of positive electricity placed at that point. We have now obtained the most general value of this quantity in the case of a body moving in a magnetic field due to a variable electric system. If the body is a conductor, the electromotive force will produce a current; if it is a dielectric, the electromotive force will produce only electric displacement”.
I draw my claim based on what Maxwell said in the section titled, ‘On General Equations of Electromotive Force’, Art.598, of his Treatise. The other name for it is the term “electromotive force”.
So, are you going strictly by Maxwell, or do you have your own definition of what 'E' is?
Franklin,
I made a mistake. The first sentence should have read:
This response is your way of having to obey Ampère’s law, but you don’t mind being in the bad books for Faraday’s law.
But I observe that you have once again reversed yourself, which means that although your hidden wire carries current there is no magnetic field around it. So, you have now run foul of both Ampère’s and Faraday’s law. This will be in addition to the Coulomb’s law which your poselectrons do not also obey at close contact.
Don’t you think it will now be safe to conclude that poselectron sea model is a serial offender of known laws of physics?
Hi All,

The New Ether Gauge Theory
Defining the Ether
The polarization of light shows that light involves transverse vibrations, i.e. vibrations of shear strain. Shear waves can only occur in solids; therefore, the ether must be a solid. But normal solids have two kinds of wave-propagation phenomena. The first is a transverse wave, corresponding to a moving shear pattern of strain. Light is an example of such a transverse wave. The second kind of wave which can exist in a solid is a longitudinal compressive wave, corresponding to a moving pattern of volume strain. Compressive strain waves can occur in both solids and gases. Sound waves are compressive volume strain waves in ordinary matter. The thorniest problem with which any proposed ether has to deal is the absence of any compressional (longitudinal) ether waves in nature...
In other words, the expected nature of the proposed medium, using elastic continuum mechanics language is:
∇×U ≠ 0 and ∇·U = 0.
And stated “similarly” in Maxwell’s electromagnetic language, since A ≡ U, this translates to
∇×A ≠ 0 and ∇·A = 0
Regards,
On Saturday 30 Nov (?)- I only dealt with 2 philosophies to keep things simple.
Below is some more philosophies and what their view on Special relativity (SR) is ->
i.e. Formalism says SR is correct and the three philosophies under that agree. SR is deemed problematic in Intuitionism
and the remaining philosophies say SR is wrong.
When I was taught SR although I was not explicitly being told to adopt the Formalism philosophy, I think it was implicitly being taught i.e. because the things that I was told were leading me to think along those lines.
So, my point - if believe in SR then are likely to believe in Formalism or some Formalist-type philosophy.
Whereas if don't believe in Formalism-type philosophy then might lead you to think SR is wrong.
Formalism of course a philosophy of math; so your philosophic attitude about math can lead you to accept SR or not.

I see no reason to disagree with Maxwell's description of (E) as the electric field vector at a point that causes an acceleration force on a positive test charge placed at that point. “It is also called the resultant electrical force, being the force which would be experienced by a unit of positive electricity placed at that point."

I am inclined to say, after Shakespeare, “What is in a name?”
From what you agree with in your reply
1) E is a vector quantity, i.e. must have magnitude and direction.
2) The direction of E at a point is conventionally taken as the direction in which the acceleration force will act on a positive charge (+q) located at that point.
3) If the charge at that point is a negative charge (-q), the direction of E at that point will be in the opposite direction to that in 2).
Question for you and other advocates of E
If there happens to be no charge at a point, i.e. no +q and no -q, what will be the direction of E at that point, since it is a vector quantity?

The E vector field always exists. To measure its (magnitude and direction) requires placing a small positive test charge (+ by convention) in the field location to be measured.
Cornelis,
In some of your replies you use certain words like “generate”, “origin”, “begin”, "initiate", and God bless you also for adding, “relay” and “terminate”.
Viz. “static charge only generates E and motion is required (my addition, i.e. motion of charges) to generate B”, “The origin of an electromagnetic wave is always a charge's field pattern in motion!”, “We do not have to have one present for the wave to be relayed, only for one to begin”, “Particles like energy patterns are only needed to initiate and terminate electromagnetic waves.”
The life of a light wave, like most other waves is divided into three phases, (i) generation, (ii) propagation/transit/relay, (iii) termination.
The only points where E is mathematically and physically involved is in (i) and (iii) and even then, free, unbounded charges MUST be present at those two points. The presence of bound charges does not count. For instance, dipoles are bound charges. That is why you cannot generate or terminate a light wave using an antenna made of paper or plastic, even though these materials contain charges.
While the operational law in (i) is Ampere’s law, that in (iii) is Faraday’s law.
For (ii) to succeed, E is not needed. The ONLY thing required for “relay” is for the continuum to have elastic properties.
I have used this analogy in the past...
A water wave can be generated by dropping a stone in water. At the river bank, the water wave can also exert force and move a stone located there. But during relay/transit, stones are no longer needed. All that is needed is for the water to have elasticity. However, if the water wave encounters a stone in the river during transit, it will exert force on it.
Stone before dropping is static E. During dropping it becomes a dynamic E, (i.e. electric current), and this generates the wave in the elastic continuum (wave is analogous to B wave). On reaching the shore, the wave again encounters static stones (E) upon which it exerts electromotive force converting them to dynamic E (electric current) in the receiving terminal.
This is the uncorrupted gospel according to Maxwell.
Akinbo
*In a second email, for those math inclined, I will put some math.
Hi to those that like math,
Cornelis, you ask, “Are we to take it by your statement that you are not an advocate of the field's E vector property?”
From the gospel according to Maxwell, and his definition of E, in math and in words, E is the force F exerted per unit charge q, i.e. E = F/q.
From the equation, sometimes called the Lorentz force equation, i.e.
F = q(v×B -∂A/∂t -∇𝜙)
after removing the unnecessary terms (I will not go into that, as I believe those familiar with the math will know), we are left with
F = q(-∂A/∂t)
Taking the curl of this, gives us the Maxwell-Faraday law, i.e.
∇×F = -q∂B/∂t
because Maxwell tells us to take ∇×A = B.
Even if one is not an expert in math, it is clear that where q = 0, there can be no electromotive force, i.e. F = 0. And since E = F/q, if q = 0, i.e. where free unbounded charges DO NOT exist, then E = 0.
The only way for E to be non-zero, i.e. E ≠ 0, IS where there are free, unbounded charges. This scenario only exists at receiving antennas, where there is a preponderance of negative over positive charges.
Therefore, according to Maxwell, even if a medium is particulate, as long as it does not have the same scenario that is present in receiving (and transmission antennas), E is useless and has no role to play.
That is why in the section, which formed the subject of my last Saturday Chat presentation that Maxwell’s vector field A is similar to the displacement vector field U of elastic continuum mechanics, he titled this “Propagation of Undulations in a Non-conducting Medium.”
See section 784, https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/A_Treatise_on_Electricity_and_Magnetism/Part_IV/Chapter_XX
Is it that the meaning of what “non-conducting medium” means still remains unclear? Or is it that people are just hell bent on foisting on us something different from Maxwell’s intention?
Regards,
Akinbo
Cornelis, et.al.,
I think a similar question came up during the last Saturday chat at around 1 hour 25 to 45 minutes, so this is an opportunity to shed more light.
The continuum in which the displacement vector fields, represented by U (in continuum mechanics) and by A in electromagnetic theory, has elastic properties, and permittivity can be regarded as related to this.
Like all such properties, it is a property held by the medium, irrespective of whether a static charge is present, or whether the charge is moving, or whether there is a wave propagating or there is no wave propagating. However, when any of these circumstances arise, this property of the medium can help us understand the reaction of the medium to such occurrences.
Long and short, permittivity does not belong to a charged or uncharged particle, or to the propagating wave, and does not depend on whether there is an electric field E or not. It is a property of the underlying medium or continuum or vacuum, whichever name is chosen to refer to it.
Regards,
Akinbo
You might argue that J = ε∂E/∂t at that point, and so it does. But you still have to then tackle the issues of how J can possibly be equal to ε∂E/∂t in the first place, unless the latter equates in magnitude to a real electric current.
And there’s another argument. Have you considered the issue of how a light ray could ever be coherent. and not divergent, unless there are tiny inductances all along its path? I know that transmission lines are a different topic, but they share some features in common with EM waves. Heaviside is credited with demonstrating that placing inductances intermittently along a transmission line helps to keep the signal from diverging into space. Likewise, a light ray that is totally coherent, needs to be relayed through a line of tiny inductors, i.e. rotating electron-positron dipoles.
Best Regards
David
Cornelis,
My response, detailed and point by point (and a bit more)...
Re: “E is not the force, but the source of the electric force, and its existence as a physical entity (a condition of the medium/vacuum) is independent of the presence of a test charge.”
If you scroll down to about two emails where the Force equation was stated, and putting it in a form that may bring more clarity as
F = q(v×B -∂A/∂t -Q/4πεr2)
The first two terms, i.e. v×B and ∂A/∂t, are forces on charge q of magnetic origin, while the third term, i.e. Q/4πεr2 is force on charge q of electric origin from another charge Q. You should find that if you ignore the forces on charge q that are of magnetic origin, you end up with Coulomb’s law, i.e. F = Qq/4πεr2
So, source of force on charge q can either be of magnetic OR of electric origin.
Re: “While you are correct in citing the definition E = F/q it is making a non-standard and inaccurate leap in concluding that the field itself is "useless" during propagation.”
Of all the sources of force, only -∂A/∂t is useful during propagation. The others are useless because they do not apply. They apply in circumstances other than propagation such as the force that will be experienced by q if it moves through a static magnetic field B at a velocity v.
Re: “The definition E = F/q is most intuitively applied to electrostatics—the electric field produced by stationary charges.”
As you can see from the equation, this is false. E = F/q can be used for any of the forces, but it can be source of mix-up because the E can also be applied to forces that are not electrostatic.
Re: “In the context of the wave E is required by Maxwell's equations to sustain the B field and, thus, the wave itself. (there is no B without E)”
False. In another email which I replied to, you had earlier stated correctly, viz. “The origin of an electromagnetic wave is always a charge's field pattern in motion!”, “We do not have to have one present for the wave to be relayed, only for one to begin”.
According to Maxwell, A in the equation above is similar to displacement vector field U. It is also a displacement vector field. Therefore, the only thing needed to for an A wave to be sustained, as with all displacement vector fields, is the for the medium or continuum to have elasticity, i.e. its ability to store and release energy.
Re: “E is the component responsible for generating the signal (voltage/current) in a receiving antenna (by exerting a force on the stationary electrons in the antenna wires). Therefore, your definition, while technically correct, does not serve as a valid defense for declaring the electric field "obsolete" or "useless."”
As has been pointed out in previous email, the F/q, i.e. the E, responsible for generating the signal in a receiving antenna is that force of magnetic origin, that comes from the ∂A/∂t component. Because A is a displacement vector field, it has longitudinal and transverse components going by Helmholtz theorem. The transverse component of A, i.e. ∇×A is responsible for exerting force on the stationary, free, and unbounded electrons in the antenna wires. As you may know, Maxwell has correctly told us that this component is magnetic field B, i.e. ∇×A = B. So, what exerts force on the charges in the antenna is force of magnetic origin, not force of electric origin.
And a little extra..
It is erroneous to put any weight on ∇×B. This is because Maxwell has told us that B is already the transverse component of a displacement vector field. It does not make much sense to have the transverse component of the transverse component of a displacement vector field. But it is correct to put weight on ∇×H, because H is a displacement vector field similar to U. I discussed this a bit in my paper, if you won’t find it too mathematical, even though I made it as simple as I could.

There is absolutely no way you can make the claim that hall effect sensors shouldn't be able to see the magnetic field of an ordinary radio signal. You can look all you want, but you won't find a single experiment showing a hall effect sensor picking up any radio signal. It just doesn't happen because it doesn't happen. So actually, you can't build an AM radio out of a hall effect sensor. If radio waves really did contain magnetic fields, then you would be able to detect the AM radio signal with a hall sensor. But since you cannot, this is fairly good proof that no such magnetic fields exist in radio waves, no matter how powerful. You could put the hall sensor right next to a kilowatt AM commercial transmitter and see absolutely nothing.
The bottom line is that there are absolutely no detectable magnetic fields in an in-flight radio wave. None. Zip. Nada and no experimental evidence (that doesn't already rely on the circular induction argument by measuring voltage) shows this. If someone bothered to do a very high sensitivity hall effect sensor test, this could be conclusively proven experimentally. Really, that should be the next radio experiment I should try to conduct to show that radio signals contain no magnetic fields since nobody else seems to have cared to show this.

Franklin,See below follow up from AI, how do you respond?
[24/11, 07:01] Akinbo: Can Hall sensors detect magnetic fields in kHz range like AM radio?
[24/11, 07:02] Meta AI: Hall sensors can detect magnetic fields, but their bandwidth is typically limited to a few kHz, making them unsuitable for detecting AM radio frequencies (535-1605 kHz). They're better suited for low-frequency applications like position sensing or current sensing. For AM radio detection, you'd typically use a coil or antenna.

Yes, voltage can arise from things like being connected to a battery among other things.
Yes, high quality hall sensors can detect very fast changes, I don't know about 10^10 but there are certainly much lower radio frequencies that can be used. Yes, it will precisely identify the specific N/S orientation of the field.
Your phone has such a sensor in it and if you wave a magnet around, you can see the XYZ orientation of the magnetic field using a simple app. It does not rely upon induction, but rather uses the direct lorentz force to measure the deflection of charge through a magnetic field.
So, why no direct experiments if this can be done?
-Franklin
Franklin,Can there be voltage without time-varying magnetic field?
Also, if magnetic field changes from N to S, and S back to N, at a rate of more than 10^10 times per second, is your Hall detector able to measure such unstable magnetic orientation? Will it identify it as N or as S?Just asking...Akinbo

Subject: Re: The meaning of U and the magnetic field.
Akinbo,
Using Faraday's law is circular reasoning. By the time it hits a conductor, you are measuring voltage, it is no longer a magnetic wave which has a measurable N/S vector which is completely lost in this measurement and worst of all "assumes" that this is due to induction which is the very thing that is at question here.
So, completely invalid!!!
Remember, you cannot measure teslas in volts!!!
And we do have instruments like hall detectors which can detect the N/S orientation of a time varying magnetic field in free space.
Why don't we use them????
-Franklin
Franklin,My reply to Carl needs to be a studied one, so I will do that tomorrow.Measuring or detecting a wave comprising of a time-varying magnetic field is based on what we know as Faraday’s law, which tells us what will happen when this type of wave impinges on a conductor.

Of course, you realize that I think the EM wave equation as a transverse electric/magnetic field phenomenon is completely wrong. A light wave is definitely not a time varying magnetic disturbance. Not even mainstream believes it is only a magnetic field. I don't think any magnetic field is involved in lightwave transmission.
You did remember that didn't you?
What do I think the light/radio wave actually is? Try to recall, since I've mentioned it a million times and you have to pull it out of your head in order to recognize it. Otherwise, just don't think it will register.
I don't need any fancy transverse wave equation to describe it.
So, why would I be impressed by any form of the EM wave equation? I think this is absolutely the biggest mistake that Maxwell promoted which everyone believes, but has NEVER been experimentally verified by measuring the actual in flight separate electric and magnetic fields at 90 degrees to each other and in phase. All of these things can be experimentally measured, but why do think that you can find absolutely no experimental reference that actually proves this?
Akinbo, I ask you in all honesty, why are there no direct proof experiments? If there were, then you could prove your contention that it is only a magnetic field, but there is no proof of any kind.
This also seemingly has absolutely nothing to do with main topic which how the magnetic field is mediated by some medium. The argument I am putting forward is that the medium must be a composite substance which has at least 2 recognizable points which can determine the vector direction and a way to express the magnitude. The poselectron dipole fulfills this role perfectly. On the other hand, this featureless medium that all the rest of you are in love with doesn't have anything that could possibly describe the magnetic field vector. Nothing of what you are saying here refutes that contention. So, try to get back on topic.

Franklin,
You lamented recently about not being taken seriously. To do theoretical physics, you must be bilingual, i.e. understand English (prose) and Greek (math). Even if not fluent, you must seek to understand both. And in today’s world, you can even have AI translate for you. So, your situation is a self-inflicted one when you say things like, “Quite frankly, I don't understand your meaning and I honestly don't want to even try”, “I don't think that equations devoid of any connection to reality are worth pursuing”, etc
Anyway, here goes...
∇2(∇×U) = (1/c2).∂2(∇×U)/∂t2 is Greek, in English, it means the transverse wave equation in an elastic medium.
Now, according to Maxwell A is similar to U, and U is similar A (U ≡ A).
Substituting that into the Greek statement above, you get another Greek statement
∇2(∇×A) = (1/c2).∂2(∇×A)/∂t2
Two days ago, when you were not feeling too lazy, you asked AI for assistance, viz. “so I had to look up what "A" meant”, and AI correctly told you that ∇×A = B.
From that, you should be able to see that in Greek, the equation becomes:
∇2B = (1/c2).∂2B/∂t2
In English, that is wave equation for a time-varying magnetic disturbance in an elastic continuum, which we call “light wave”.

Subject: Re: The meaning of U and the magnetic field.
Akinbo and David,
I am still puzzled by what this could possibly do with how magnetism work so I had to look up what "A" meant
So at least it can tie to magnetism. Although, I think Maxwell's conception of magnetism which David likes with things that have rotating cells is completely wrong and unnecessary.Looking into that more, this is what Maxwell thought:
I would respond by saying that my hypothesis doesn't need the complication of vortices or idle wheels. These seem to be a complex mechanical invention which just don't seem plausible. How do these vortices form? What are they made of? What keeps them stable? What powers them? Too many unanswered questions. The only thing my hypothesis requires is a simple unorganized field of charged dipoles. That seems very likely and is exactly how charges would spontaneously arrange themselves - this is demonstrated in computer simulations.
The magnetic field has nothing to do with rotavating vortices but has to so with the simple observation that if you shoot a negative charge between a positive and negative charge, it will obviously deflect towards the positive charge and away from the negative one. This is the basic action of a magnetic field, to deflect an electron only in motion. The explanation of rotating vortices doesn't explain at all why an electron should deflect in a magnetic field except for maybe it gets caught up in the flow created by the vortices. But if you accept that, then you can't explain why a positive charge then deflects in exactly the opposite direction to that same vortex flow. You can't have it both ways. You also can't explain why a stationary charge in a magnetic field feels absolutely no force at all. If the force was due to being caught in the vortices flow, then force should always be applied the electron and it can't possibly remain stationary. Since it remains stationary, this cannot be the origin for the magnetic force.
The idea that electric currents are the "idle wheels" just seems outrageous. I think most people would agree that electric currents are caused by the presence of electrons which are physically moving through the conductor as they pass from atom to atom. There are no such "idle wheels" in space, only conductors and electrons. But Maxwell needed these idle wheels to "predict" the electromagnetic wave as requiring the displacement current concept. I don't think Maxwell "predicted" anything. This was just a completely made up set of chalkboard equations which has nothing to do with reality. Sure, the equations work, they look great, but you'll never be able experimentally detect anything like a displacement current or even anything that looks like the electromagnetic wave that is frequently displayed in college text books. It just doesn't exist and idle wheels as currents is just the complete opposite of what it should be.
Electromagnetic induction is indeed a very difficult problem for any theory of magnetism. Maxwell wants to have these spinning wheels which basically store magnetic inertia and so keep spinning even after the current is turned off. I don't think there can be anything like a magnetic inertia, but we have to explain why the magnetic field continues to persist when the current is turned off. My hypothesis proposes that the magnetic field lines actually move out of the wire and into space as real magnetic line entities. It is when these magnetic lines contact electrons in conductors, that it causes them to deflect only when the lines are in motion. This is the initial induction effect from outward moving magnetic field lines. When you turn off the current, the magnetic field lines are still out there in space, but since they are no longer supported by new current, the field lines start collapsing back towards the wire which again, causes electrons to be deflected in the opposite direction as the secondary induction effect as the magnetic field lines return back to the wire. We can see the opposite currents in the following diagram showing induction effects.
Once again, my paper for anyone who wants to learn how a magnetic field could possibly have the properties that it does.No vortices, no wheels, no helixes just polarized charged dipoles.
In light of how I believe the magnetic field actually operates, Maxwell's conception is completely defective and on the completely wrong track. We should not pay any attention to it at all. I would also bring David's attention to the objections I have to this whole rotating vortices thing as just being completely unlikely and too complex to model reality. My conception of a polarized dipole sea appears to explain all of the known magnetic phenomenon including the Faraday's paradox without invoking a complex mechanical system of idle wheels. Why wouldn't you adopt this simpler explanation which doesn't rely on any kind of "flow" of anything to explain magnetic forces. It only relies on simple Coulomb force of opposite charges and shows the real relationship between the electric and magnetic forces.
Of course, my conception absolutely relies on the existence of dipole particles in free space. Without those dipole particles, there would be no way to express the magnetic vector which is why I reject all the notions that space is some kind of uniform continuous featureless substance which only supports waves which is what Andy, Cornelis and Akinbo are pushing for. But when you ask them how things like the Coulomb or magnetic force works, there is no real answer because a uniform medium cannot possibly support these kinds of forces.
So while Maxwell's remark cannot be denied, I'd probably say this remark is also likely wrong and irrelevant.

Franklin,
Re: “Quite frankly, I don't understand your meaning and I honestly don't want to even try”
Well, I must commend you for living up to your name. Thank you for being frank.
There is no point pushing you further since you admit not wanting to try because if one must drink from the well of wisdom that you can find in Maxwell’s Treatise, you must at least try to go to the well and look inside it. Someone nearby may then help you fetch you a drink. I must say that I took that step and benefited from what four persons on this email list had to say. I will mention three of them, Harry, Slobodan, and Musa Abdullahi. Outside this forum, there was Gurcharn Sandhu.
In the theory of elastic mediums, displacement vector field U just refers to that area of disturbance when there is an ingress of energy into the medium. This has nothing to do with whether this medium is particulate or non-particulate.
So, yes, Maxwell is not a god, and he never proclaimed himself as one. But after struggling for many years and toying with several models, particulate and non-particulate, fluid and solid, vortices and non-vortices, he made his final declaration, categorically saying that his vector field A IS SIMILAR to the displacement vector field U of elastic solid theory. This remark cannot be denied and I hope to discuss this further very soon.

Subject: The meaning of U and the magnetic field.Akinbo,
Quite frankly, I don't understand your meaning and I honestly don't want to even try.
Once again, U is only involved in actual displacement of particles from point A to point B. If air was expanding around a heated wire that would apply, but wouldn't apply to stationary dipoles merely changing their orientation and I don't know what this even has to do with the word "transverse" as there is nothing transverse involved.
So, no, I'm just disagreeing with you and your mysterious line of reasoning.
Why don't you just tell me where you are going with this? What is you point in even bringing this up? So far, seems completely pointless in the discussion of the featureless medium and the origins of magnetism. Don't think you can trap me into saying "yes" to some obscure confusing concept and then say "ah ha" you are wrong.
Just say what you mean and then we can reasonably discuss it instead of you trying to trap me by obscurity.
Also, I don't take Maxwell as a "god like" authority. If he was so smart, then mainstream would already have magnetism as settled science. We do not, so Maxwell isn't an authority.
I disagree with a lot more people than Maxwell, because they are obviously wrong. This is why no real progress has been made in physics in the past 100 years. We need to stop hero worshiping and start from scratch.
-Franklin
Franklin, et.al.,
If change of alignment occurs around the surrounding of a wire when electric current J is switched on, this area of change is the displacement vector field U. If the change of alignment is of the nature of difference in the distance between points in the surrounding, such as would be the case due to energy from a heated wire causing expansion in the surrounding air, that will be the longitudinal component of U and is denoted by ∇·U.
If the change of alignment is like what you depict in your poselectron sea, that will be the transverse component of U, denoted by ∇×U.
So, energy can be stored in a medium either as ∇·U or as ∇×U depending on the elastic properties of that medium.
Maxwell is telling you that we should take ∇×U = B, where B is the magnetic field. Are you disagreeing with him?

You seem to understand that magnetism is due to alignment, though I don’t know if this has anything to do with a transverse U field since nothing is undergoing an actual movement to a different location, just a twist.

Franklin,
Okay now that you have no problem with the existence of displacement vector field U, consider that when there is ingress of energy into an elastic medium, or poselectron sea, as you prefer, the mathematics of U shows that it can have two components, longitudinal and transverse, denoted by ∇·U and ∇×U respectively. These respectively represent the storage of energy as volumetric strain (compression-rarefaction) and shear strain in the underlying medium. For wave phenomena, ∇·U travels as longitudinal wave, ∇×U while propagates as a transverse wave.
In your poselectron model, you have depicted what happens to the poselectron medium around a wire when electric current is switched on, and there is an ingress of energy into the surrounding of the wire.
In your depiction, we don’t see a stretching or increase of the spaces between the poselectrons, i.e. a volumetric strain. What you show in your model is that the inter-poselectron spaces are preserved, but there is a twisting in their alignment and this effect manifests as a magnetic field B.
Will it be correct to say that this ingress of energy into poselectron sea, and its storage therein, manifests as the transverse component of displacement vector field U, i.e. ∇×U?

This is trivial and could be readily measured in a medium which contained trackable points such as a particulate medium, but would be impossible to measured in a medium with no trackable points. So this cannot possibly apply to the medium you are proposing. So there is no point in discussing it.

I would continue to argue that a "featureless medium" cannot have the "feature" of "elasticity". If any medium had any concept of elasticity, this would mean that the medium must have "features" which allow it to be measured as either being in a stretched or relaxed state which requires the presence of trackable markers in the medium to be able to make that distinction.
I would also say that a featureless medium would not be be able to support an ingress of energy as some feature of the medium would have to change in order to accept such an ingress. So, really, a featureless medium can have no material property changes of any kind because there are simply no features to detect.
But certainly elastic mediums would create a displacement vector field however, your featureless medium is incapable of any such elasticity. Elasticity is trivially explained in a particulate medium, but is logically impossible to describe for a featureless medium.
This is my main point:
A featureless medium cannot have any features such as elasticity. It is logically impossible. Therefore this concept should be immediately rejected on this basis alone.
I would recommend that you abandon the featureless medium concept in favor of some medium which has trackable features like particles even if you can't describe what those particles are. It could be like David's sub-aether which flows and is of an unknown composition, but it is much better than something that doesn't have any features at all.
Really, the only objection you have to a particle aether is that you are "stuck" with the naive notion that it must cause frictional losses and cause anything travelling in it to slow down. I have been unsuccessful in persuading you that this doesn't happen even though I have shown real physical examples of experiments which show that no frictional losses are possible. I cannot prove it to you, so I would recommend that you just accept that as a "postulate" which would then allow you to accept the more common sense notion that a medium must consist of particles in order to support a wave.
I think that is a far better alternative than to continue to accept the illogical and impossible featureless medium which has features.
A featureless medium with features - that is a simple logical inconsistency.
It's like saying "A colorless liquid which is blue". It is either colorless or blue, it cannot be the same at the same time. A logical inconsistency.

Subject: Re: Lord Kelvin's Vortex Sponge Theory 1887 - The Link to the Philosophical Magazine, Volume XXIV, Page 342Franklin,
Re: “How can something so featureless possibly describe a vector direction and a magnitude? It cannot.”
You raise some pertinent issues here, which I also missed my way a bit and had to grapple with while developing my model.
First, in earlier communication, I had told you that the “featureless medium” has elasticity, and I used bonds to explain that to you. I also informed that the physical property permittivity, ε is not a property of atoms, positrons or electrons, but of that “featureless medium” between them, whose quantity depends on r, e.g. as in F = QQ’/4πεr2.
But the most important thing from what you said is that when energy is introduced into the “featureless medium”, IT IS the resulting displacement/deformation field, where this energy is stored, that has magnitude and a vector direction.
In elastic continuum mechanics, this field is usually represented by the bold letter U, because it is a vector and so has magnitude and direction. (No need to go into the details, but see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displacement_field_(mechanics)#Spatial_coordinates_(Eulerian_description)).
The elastic properties of the “featureless medium” is what determine how the energy will be stored in it. This can either be as a volumetric strain (e.g. stretching or compression), or a non-volumetric strain (e.g. rotation or torsion). A gas or liquid for example will store energy as a volumetric strain, while a solid can store energy in both ways.
So, what has magnitude and direction IS the disturbance in the featureless medium due to the ingress of energy, and it represented as U in many discussions of elastic continuum mechanics.
If you understand this so far, that will be a big plus.

Dear Franklin,
Thank you for continuing this discussion. Your perspective that the conductor's only job is to move electrons is correct, but it leads us directly to the point: the movement of those electrons creates the fields we are discussing, and at high frequencies, the fields become the most useful model for tracking the energy.
We can illustrate this using the measurable speed of the signal.
If the signal were truly just a simple flow of electrons through a copper wire, its speed would be determined primarily by the metal itself. However, the actual speed of an RF signal in a cable is always slower than the speed of light in a vacuum and is primarily determined by the insulating material, which is the dielectric.
This speed is quantified by the Velocity Factor (VF), which is the fraction of the speed of light ($c$) at which the signal travels.
Coaxial Cable (Solid Plastic): The signal's speed is typically about 66% of the speed of light (VF = 0.66). The entire electromagnetic wave is confined to the plastic insulation between the conductors. The plastic slows the wave down significantly.
Simple Twin Lead/Open Wire: Here, the signal fields extend mostly into the surrounding air. Since air is very similar to a vacuum, the signal speed is much faster, often 95% to 99% of the speed of light (VF = 0.95 to 0.99).
If the signal were merely a "flow of electrons" in the copper, why would changing the type of plastic or foam insulation—the part that doesn't conduct current—have such a profound effect on the speed?
The answer is that the energy is being carried by the Electric (E) and Magnetic (B) fields in the space filled by the insulation, not by the copper itself. The insulation (dielectric) interacts with the E and B fields, causing the wave to slow down.
To address your question about when it "magically switches" from electron flow to fields: there is no magic switch. It is a matter of scale.
Low Frequency (1 Hz): The physical length of the cable is a tiny fraction of the signal's wavelength. The fields are present, but their effects are negligible compared to the simple voltage and current we measure at the ends.
High Frequency (RF): The physical length of the cable is comparable to, or longer than, the signal's wavelength. Now, the time it takes the fields to propagate becomes essential. We must abandon the simple current/voltage model and use the electromagnetic wave model, because the energy is demonstrably traveling at a speed determined by the fields and the insulation they travel through.
The fields (E and B) are an inescapable consequence of the moving electrons, and at high frequencies, they become the only accurate way to describe how the signal's energy travels down the wire.
The final paragraph states: "But that is exactly what you are asserting in the transmission through space. Exactly the same."
This statement is fundamentally flawed because it creates a false equivalence:
Transmission Through Space (Vacuum/Air): These are dielectric mediums with extremely low conductivity of approximately 0. They allow the E and B fields to couple and propagate freely as a self-sustaining electromagnetic wave.
Transmission Through Mercury: Mercury is a highly conductive medium. It actively destroys the propagating EM wave by converting its energy into heat, as described by the skin effect.
The mechanism of signal transmission through a vacuum is the exact opposite of what would happen in a conductor. A successful transmission through space proves the existence of the propagating E and B fields, while the failure of transmission through mercury would confirm the principles of electromagnetism and the skin effect.
Franklin, et.al.,
In a transmission cable, both a wave in electric field E and in magnetic field B are propagated. This is unlike wireless transmission of energy through chargeless space. Cornelis has tried to explain this to you and he also quoted references from AI, yet you do not budge from your wrong position. I will not repeat what Cornelis and AI have correctly said on the matter, but just to emphasize an important aspect...
For energy to be propagated in electric form, the presence of free and unbounded charges is sine qua non (indispensable).
Such condition is present in co-axial transmission cables.
If the cable material is made up entirely of plastic or wood, no energy in the form of electromagnetic wave can be propagated through it because the condition is not fulfilled.
MORAL
The moral of this is that, any material devoid of free and unbounded charges, such as poselectron sea; a collection of dipoles as vortices; a dielectric such as Epola lattice; or a vacuum devoid of charge; CANNOT propagate energy in electric form and have a wave in E during transit/relay.
In order to have a wave in E in wireless transmission, the medium MUST contain FREE and UNBOUNDED charges. Therefore, if proponents of dielectric mediums, want to have an E wave propagating alongside a B wave, they MUST proceed to populate their medium with FREE and UNBOUNDED charges. The possession of charge in bounded form does not avail them of anything electrical form.
If this condition IS NOT fulfilled, then the time-varying B wave must wait until it gets to a receiving antenna made of material having such free and unbounded charges, where E can then be expressed according to Faraday's law, and energy converted from magnetic to electric form.
Maxwell was not a fool when he referred to light as an undulation in a NON-CONDUCTING medium. See heading to section 784 in his Treatise.
Akinbo
Franklin,
Do you accept that seismic S-waves (transverse) can be polarized and P-waves (longitudinal) cannot?
You are yet to understand the concept of polarization, hence your saying, “This is what we mean by polarization. It depends upon the orientation of the transmitter and receiver”.
No, it does not depend on the orientation of transmitter and receiver. It depends on the elastic properties of the medium, such that when energy transits through it as a wave, some of the vibrations ARE NOT in the direction of wave propagation and so can be filtered out by a polarizer.
What you even illustrated in your animation cannot be polarized because it has no vibrations/oscillations perpendicular to the direction of propagation, hence it cannot be filtered by a polarizer. A polarizer works by screening out vibrations that are perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.
Cornelis,
You said here (which is still covered by a dark screen), “The accelerating charges create an orthogonal magnetic field which results in the creation of the magnetic field. The growth of the magnetic field results in the creation of an orthogonal back EMF which opposes the acceleration of the electrons.” This is correct.
Now, Maxwell says this, which I also consider to be correct, “If the body is a conductor, the electromotive force will produce a current; if it is a dielectric, the electromotive force will produce only electric displacement”
A conductor has a significant quantity of free and unbounded charges.
So, I ask you Cornelis, do you consider it possible, that contrary to Maxwell, an electric current can be produced by a time-varying magnetic field in a medium without free and unbounded charges?
This is the case with mediums such as poselectron sea, Epola and dipolar vortices. In these, there are NO free and unbounded charges. All the charges therein, are bound up and caged in chains. How then can there be flow of electricity?
Why do we not see flow of electricity in similar materials, e.g. wood and plastic, which also have charges, but which charges are bound and denied of freedom?
What then is the difference between a conductor and a non-conductor, if this basic principle, as stated by Maxwell and other greats in the physics of electricity is being blatantly denied?
You get different answers, probably determined by how you ask the question. What did you prompt the AI with? If you it with "how do radio signals travel through cables as an EM wave", it's going to give you that answer.
Rod 1 (source)
Long rod, radial “breathing” mode → cylindrical waves.
Rod 2 (receiver)
Identical rod, same material and radius aaa, length LLL, center–to–center distance ddd.
We compare:
Parallel rods (axes parallel)
Perpendicular rods (rod 2 rotated 90°)
From before, the time-averaged intensity at distance ddd is
I(d)=12ρcω2ξ02adI(d)=\frac{1}{2}\rho c \omega^2 \xi_0^2 \frac{a}{d}I(d)=21ρcω2ξ02daRod 2 intercepts energy over an effective area
A∥=2aLA_\parallel = 2aLA∥=2aLSo power received:
P∥=ρcω2ξ02a2Ld\boxed{ P_\parallel = \rho c \omega^2 \xi_0^2 \frac{a^2 L}{d} }P∥=ρcω2ξ02da2Land the fraction of total emitted power is
P∥Pemit=aπd\boxed{ \frac{P_\parallel}{P_{\text{emit}}} = \frac{a}{\pi d} }PemitP∥=πdaNow rod 2’s axis is perpendicular to the wave axis.
The wave intensity is constant along the source rod’s length
But rod 2 now only samples the wave over a distance comparable to its diameter, not its full length
For a perpendicular rod:
Length exposed to roughly uniform intensity: ∼2a\sim 2a∼2a
Projected width: ∼2a\sim 2a∼2a
So effective area:
A⊥≈(2a)(2a)=4a2A_\perp \approx (2a)(2a)=4a^2A⊥≈(2a)(2a)=4a2Take the ratio:
P⊥P∥=2ρcω2ξ02a3dρcω2ξ02a2Ld\frac{P_\perp}{P_\parallel} = \frac{2\rho c \omega^2 \xi_0^2 \frac{a^3}{d}} {\rho c \omega^2 \xi_0^2 \frac{a^2 L}{d}}P∥P⊥=ρcω2ξ02da2L2ρcω2ξ02da3 P⊥P∥=2aL\boxed{ \frac{P_\perp}{P_\parallel} = \frac{2a}{L} }P∥P⊥=L2aA parallel rod intercepts energy along its entire length
A perpendicular rod only “sees” the wave over a length comparable to its diameter
For realistic rods L≫aL \gg aL≫a, the perpendicular orientation receives orders of magnitude less energy
Cylindrical waves carry energy uniformly along the rod’s axis.
Parallel rod:
rides alongside the wave → long interaction time & area
Perpendicular rod:
cuts across the wave → brief, localized interaction
This is the same reason:
Long antennas couple strongly when aligned
Crossed antennas couple very weakly

Cornelis,
Your “No” answer tallies with that of Franklin and I believe it to be correct. The implication of that is that a receiving antenna cannot be made exclusively from poselectron sea, Epola lattice, dipolar vortices and such other dielectric materials like wood or plastic. To make these function as receiving antennas they have to be impregnated with material containing free and unbound charges. Therefore, Faraday’s law of induction cannot take place in such dielectrics due to a time-varying magnetic field impinging on such materials. No E, i.e. F/q, can be caused in such materials.
Franklin,
Your conclusion is correct. The idea for a displacement current requirement to help propagate a magnetic field can only be contemplated if there is no elasticity. As long as this property is a property of the medium, it is all that is mechanically required to propagate waves.
Franklin,
You have now agreed that poselectron sea DOES NOT contain a significant quantity of free and unbounded charges. How then does the “hidden wire” you claimed present in it carry energy from transmission to receiving antenna? Your hidden wire may as well be made up of dead wood in this respect, so it is no better. Why do you refer to it as a “hidden wire” instead of a “hidden wood”, since just like wood it does not contain free and unbounded charges that can make it become a conductor?
But you are correct that such materials as yours, cannot have an E induced in them by a time-varying magnetic field.
However, if the material has elasticity, waves can carry energy through it as longitudinal or transverse waves, depending on whether the elasticity is bulk or shear in nature.
Franklin,
Re: “A polarizer should not be seen as a filter”
According to Franklin, but not according to the rest of the theoretical physics world?
Franklin,
I will like to know why the waves in your animation are moving perpendicularly to the length of the rod, instead of in the same line as the rod?
This is because when we blow a flute, the waves come out in the linear direction of the flute and not side ways to it.
I = CdV/dt
M x v/e = C x e a /t
M x r/t = C x e^2 a /t
M x r = C x e^2 x a
C = 1/a g/l = 1/LC g = a = 1/C Proved
J = ε∂E/∂t I/r squared = 1/4Pic^2 x 1/t x E field
e/t x 4Pic^2 = 1/t x E x r^2
e x 4Pic^2 = E x r^2
e x 4Pi x r^2/t^2 = I/t x r^2
e x 4Pi = It It = It Proved
Frank,
Re: “Both equations represent the same thing”
Correct. Furthermore, the continuity equation implies ∇∙J = -∂ρ/∂t
Gauss’s law is ∇∙E = ρ/ε, from which ρ = ε∇∙E
Therefore, the continuity equation can be expressed as ∇∙J = - ε∂∇∙E/∂t
Removing the divergences from both sides, ε∂E/∂t is another valid expression for conduction current J.
As you put "it", it = it.
And "it" cannot be "Not it" PROVED
Franklin,
Okay, and as you correctly and honestly state, poselectron sea or even any other dielectric like Epola, by virtue of not containing free and unbounded charges, CANNOT be used to implement Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction from time-varying magnetic field, since that law requires that what will be the outcome is what you refer to as “a one way current”.
A bird without wings cannot fly.
Akinbo
Franklin,
Your animation is good but omits either deliberately or inadvertently a few information...
1) You assume that your cylinder (or breathing tube) is choked at one end and is not a thoroughfare, but did not divulge this information. If it is not blocked at one end, there will be no horizontal expansion.
2) If we assume it to be choked at one end, so that horizontal vibration/expansion can take place, take note that in real-life scenario, what is travelling vertically is electric current, while the force this creates is the magnetic force (vibrating horizontally). BOTH are perpendicular to each other.
Now, observe that when the “transparent cylindrical wave fronts” in your animation get to a receiving antenna, the greatest force exerted on that receiving antenna should be expected to be in the direction of the horizontally travelling incoming wave fronts. Therefore, we would expect the greatest impact to be on a horizontally oriented receiving antenna, since the wave fronts are colliding with it head-on.
However, what is observed is just as you note. The greatest impact seen in the receiving antenna, is when the incoming waves are not colliding with it head-on but are brushing on the sides of the antenna. This is because the colliding waves exert their maximum effect at right angles to their direction of travel.
It is like a bullet hitting an object, and instead of that object moving in a direction that is same as that of the bullet, the object moves perpendicularly to the direction of the bullet!!
This is what is seen in your animation and in the youtube video.
You can make the receiving antenna to have the same vertical and horizontal dimensions in order for you to correctly picture the direction of maximum impact from the “transparent cylindrical wave fronts”
This is not good evidence for what a longitudinal compression wave will do when it collides head-on on an object. The expectation is for the maximum effect to take place in the same direction as the wave front. But what is observed is that almost no effect is observed in the direction of the longitudinal compression wave. Instead, all the action seems to be at right angles to the force of this wave!!
Perhaps, you may now appreciate the brilliance of Maxwell?
