The paper contends that the fundamental quantum of EM energy is "one
cycle" of the EM wave instead of the photon..

It seems to make sense but I have not read anything else like this.

Is this generally accepted or is this out in left field (so to speak)

thanks

Nobody know what are the EM waves. So everybody can wrote what he want.

In reality are the electric waves.
Take a glance on the Marconi Nobel lecture from 1909.
http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/1909/marconi-lecture.pdf
There (in references) no EM waves. No Heaviside. No Maxwell.
Marconi wrote: "In my opinion many facts connected with the transmission of
electric
waves over great distances still await a satisfactory explanation".

Look at the names of scientists in the Juliana's paper and Marconi's.

Everybody that has studied the subject for the last 80 years or so knows
what EM waves are.

Only idiots like you than can't understand modern theory don't know.

Most of EM theory came AFTER 1909, so referencing material from 1909 is
blazingly stupid.

Yeah, because the theories hadn't been fully developed yet.

Yep, Marconi didn't know and was wrong about a lot of things. It was all
figured out AFTER Marconi's death.

Look at the names of scientists after 1909 and you might learn something.

Why is it that the people who are the most primitive idiots think that
they know it all! Jimp and Wormley being two prime examples.

Nobody knows what light (em waves) is. Period.

Modern physics just babbles on like jimp with stupidities pretending
somehow it all makes sense. It does not.

They have a very good understanding of how it behaves as a localised
particle of light with a vave function.

Anything but!

The quantum mechanical behaviour of photons confused scientists in the
1920s, and still does so today. But the equations that model its
behaviour are incredibly accurate.

So a theory that simply relies on probability calculations using
imaginary waves in nothing at all is "incredibly accurate" science?

Most real problems can't even be solved for a "probable" answer even with
computers! Imaginary "energy wells" is your idea of reality?

Perhaps you and jimp need to rethink your statements.

And jimp you can explain wave-particle duality to us paying particular
attention to what mechanisms underlie the equations. You can't even
explain if an electron splits and goes through two slits or just goes
through one but has "feelers" for sensing the other slit. Please explain
this all to us jimp using your vast storehouse of electromagnetic
knowledge! You can join in too Larry!

And PS, the concept in the paper is an old one and was shown from the
start to just be plain wrong. His adding time as a fudge factor doesn't
change that.

Nope, but since that is not what electromagnetic theory is, your question
is irrelevant to the discussion.

For a modern view of electromagnetic radiation, start with Lorentz and

As for antennas in particular, you could try stuff by Balanis, Stutzman,
or Kraus.

Or you could continue to quote all the stuff Marconi got wrong and sound
like a babbling idiot.

Are you confusing quantum field theory with an
older version from earlier centuries, perhaps?
Quantum fields are much more complicated than
"waves", and the quantum vacuum isn't "nothing"
but is more or less as complicated as a state
with some quanta in it.

> ... is "incredibly accurate" science?

Whether it is accurate depends on whether it
makes accurate predictions. GPS accuracy may
be "incredibly accurate" to some, I guess..
(Personally I believe in it, I have to add.)

> Most real problems can't even be solved for a "probable" answer even with

Those were not mentioned at all! Where in the
thread did you get the impression that Larry
wants imaginary energy wells to describe
reality?

...
> And jimp you can explain wave-particle duality to us paying particular

But isn't that an obsolete question? Can you
formulate what you mean with this "duality"
(lest the answer given to you might be 42).

> ... You can't even

You talk like an electron is an object, but
it isn't. It's a quantum which describes the
difference between two states of the field.
Why would anyone explain whether a difference
between situations is going through slits?!

Or perhaps you mean with "an electron" some
state of the quantum field that is one quantum
above the vacuum? Still your question would
be meaningless..

Of course it would be already meaningless if
we were still talking about old simple wave
equations instead of a quantum field. Also
there, no-one needs to explain whether a wave
goes through one slit. It simply doesn't, in
general! But wave mechanics does not explain
the outcome of real experiments so in that
case you would have a point in challenging
it. (It simply is wrong.)

For a quantum field, with decoherence of
simultaneous results, what objection do you
still see? (Is it the obvious one that you feel
uneasy with other co-existing alternatives?!)

jimp as usual YOUR statements are totally irrelevant to ANY discussion.

Here, let me help you. See that quote above that you put in YOUR post it
was Larry bringing up QM as "incredibly accurate". Given how few real
problems it can calculate I take issue with that. Interesting theory that
predicted many things that nothing did before, for sure, but "incredibly
accurate"? I don't think so.

And YOU claimed all of EM was totally understood beyond any doubt. So I
ask you to explain diffraction of light. You don't even give me a correct
EM explanation let alone one that totally fits reality! All you ever do
is "snip babble" to make yourself feel superior but never actually supply
any information to back up such claims.

Either join the conversation or just shut up.

Quantum fields follow solution of the wave equation. Seems significant,
no? If a "quantum vacuum" isn't "nothing" then what is it? Oh wait. How
about "mystery".

So "incredibly accurate" is relative? OK. I'll buy that. So if you are
talking no solutions at all vs something that looks like what is
measured. Yeah OK. But EM calculations are what *I* call "incredibly
accurate" Not QM probabilistic hand waving. EM works to almost as many
decimal places as you can measure, even though it's known to be an
incorrect theory. Still "incredibly accurate" in it's agreement with
measurements, given enough energy to average.

Larry said that QM calculations were "incredibly accurate". Don't you
guys read? Jos I don't have to tell you what kind of "assumptions" are
made to create those "incredibly accurate" calculations! You already know
that.

See this is EXACTLY the problem here. Larry says QM is "incredibly
accurate" and you say it doesn't even describe real objects. It's all
just imaginary nomenclature that is manipulated to feel good.

Hint: Physics deals with real objects not imaginary ones.

> Or perhaps you mean with "an electron" some state of the quantum field

Questions about real experiments and real matter and real effects are
physics, not "meaningless". Questions about the meaning of words, the
naming of imaginary objects and their relationships is psychology not
physics. Are electrons self-actualizing?

So your argument is that if a certain mathematical mechanics (lets be
honest here) "sort of" produce results close enough to a few actual
experiments, we can simply extend the whole concept to a world view by
extrapolating into all areas where it was not demonstrated at all? And
even better, just accept that without question? I don't think so. That
isn't science.

> For a quantum field, with decoherence of simultaneous results, what

> with other co-existing alternatives?!)

What objections do I see? What is a "quantum field"? What is
"decoherence"? What are "simultaneous results? What is "action at a
distance? If terms don't have meaning grounded in physical reality, then
they are just psycho-babble.

It's like religious people arguing about terms like "the trinity". You
can argue half a day over it, and people on all sides are sure they are
right about it, but in the end it's just words with no experimental
verification. So people just shout dogma at each other.

This thread was started with bold statements about how much was known
about electromagnetics and I pointed out that nobody has a clue what even
light is! And then Larry decided that QM was "Incredibly accurate". And
then Jos decided that if you have a jargon name for something that
"explains" it. I suggest that just a tiny bit less exuberance would be
far more realistic.

Fresnel, Maxwell, Heaviside, Hertz, A.H. Lorentz and Einstein "need" the
aether to propagate the light waves.
They assumed that the aether is like a dielectric.

On the other hand Faraday, L. Lorenz, Marconi/Tesla and Dirac need the
"Electron sea" as the medium.

The "modern view of electromagnetic radiation" is: "EM waves are solutions
of Maxwell's equations, which are the fundamental equations of
electrodynamics. EM waves require no medium, they can travel through empty
space".

I am asking who discovered such EM waves?

Maxwell's equations are an appoximation much like Newton's laws of motion.

Try quantum electrodynamics.

Which EM waves?

Heinrich Hertz discovered what we would call radio.

William Herschel discovered infrared.

Johann Wilhelm Ritter discovered ultraviolet.

Wilhelm Rontgen discovered X-rays.

Paul Villard discovered gamma rays.

And wave packets follow trajectories of

I think both "incredibly" and "accurate"
separately are relative. Although it all might
depend on your point of view, of course. (But

I cannot follow you. The Lamb shift, the
anomalous magnetic moment, the prediction
of the positron, those would be examples
of accurate results that only QFT can give
you. But it's unclear to me what the
"assumptions" are that you object to..

Huh??! I was just saying that wave mechanics
is wrong! Everyone knows that, even Erwin
Schrodinger himself had to (grudgingly) admit
that.

If you don't know, then you have no knowledge
of contemporary physics. Any criticism coming
from you is then as useless as criticizing
Ptolemy's epicycles or the alchemists and the
flogiston theory. You may criticize them, benj,
but we already knew it!

> What is "decoherence"?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_decoherence

It is the explanation why quantum mechanics can
work without invoking mysticism (no "throwing of
dice", no mysterious "collapse" or "conscious
observer" needed, or "observer/observed duality".)

You are right, Jos, I really don't understand a thing about this quantum
theory "science by jargon" thing. So which "quantum theory" do you
support today? "FTL action at a distance" or "hidden variables"?

By the way, the theory of epicycles is actually correct (used in most
planetariums) and alchemy was shown to be real ages ago and even low
energy alchemy has been demonstrated. But I won't try to discuss it.

Right, in your mind it's just everyone worshiping every word you utter

Speaking of insane babble...

If I say, for example, that X-rays are EM radiation, there is no need for
me or anyone else to "prove" it as the fact was proven long ago and can
be found in any text book on the subject.

But the issue is if they need medium.
I have found that it was C.P. Steinmetz who do not need medium:
Four Lectures on Relativity and Space, McGraw, 1923.

It is in Lecture 2 point B.

It seems that all teachers are the fan of Steinmetz.

Positron is the joke (in Dirac opinion):
"If we accept the view of complete symmetry between positive and nega-tive
electric charge so far as concerns the fundamental laws of Nature, wemust
regard it rather as an accident that the Earth (and presumably thewhole
solar system), contains a preponderance of negative electrons andpositive
protons. It is quite possible that for some of the stars it is the otherway
about, these stars being built up mainly of positrons and negative pro-tons.
In fact, there may be half the stars of each kind. The two kinds of
starswould both show exactly the same spectra, and there would be no wayof
distinguishing them by present astronomical methods."

"Mathematics above undergraduate level" is

Is the 2nd definition less restricted than

It's criticized, however, for its unnecessary
complexity. The same cannot be said of quantum
field theory since there is no simpler theory
that gives correct results.

Oops, now you tried it anyway! You're a bit
careless today, benj..

Alchemy may have given some correct results and
also lots of failed ones. So it was not a very
reliable theory and should be criticized for that.

As I said, it is already known that previous
theories have shortcomings. Needless to discuss
those. And you don't want to discuss the current
theory, nor do you even want to know what it is!
Galileo in his time already met this attitude.

You would have been a perfect Cardinal, benj,

benj is right if you use his definition:
everything above undergraduate level (or
everything benj cannot understand, take
your pick) cannot be truth, but is "jargon".

And indeed, universities try to eliminate
naive, over-simplified concepts from the
students' heads. They fight against the
"truth" that benj cherishes so much! It's
all over the world. Books are also used for
this purpose. Don't you see the pattern?!

No it isn't, that was settled long ago; electromagnetic radiation does

Yeah, right.

To "aim a bit higher" you first have to understand the current state so
you have a point of reference to start from, which obviously you don't.

Where was that stated?! I merely speak of

give it is that it's more accurate than
previous theories (at the cost of also
being more complex).

You could have asked "who wrote the
tables of multiplication". But in that
case you probably could see for yourself
that they were right.

With more advanced theories this is still
possible (with somewhat more effort). You
can also see then that a lot of what is
written is nonsense (especially in
journals, less often in books). But it
does take more effort to see, if things
are above undergraduate level.

In fact it is wiser to distrust all recent
theories than to accept them all
unconditionally. Even better is to accept
only those of which you can see that they
are true. If that is out of reach, then
the choice you are making is actually the
wisest, benj!

jimp I don't get upset. It's all an act or a misinterpretation by you (as

Perhaps you need to investigate just WHO "every government on the

So is electromagnetic radiation particles or waves? We already have your

Right, there is some secret organization controlling the governments
of Earth to ensure the "truth" about electromagnetic radiation is
surpressed, and in particular the existence of an aether.

Again, I have no need to prove that which can be found in just about

The answer is yes.

Just a further demonstration of you ignorance.

I would suggest reading a modern text of two but since you believe there
is a giant conspiracy of every teacher, scientist, writer, publishing
house, college, university, and government on the planet to suprress
the "truth" about the existence of an aether, it would be pointless.

The aether as a mystery substance is abadonded in science from the Faraday's

Existence of the electromagnetic induction is proved.

But the light and the radio waves are the radiation not the induction.
The above "truth" is not supresed. It is only a litlle difficult to
understand.

The near field is the induction: "As an example of such an effect, power is
transferred across space in a common transformer or metal detector by means
of near-field phenomena (in this case inductive coupling), in a strictly
"short-range" effect (i.e., the range within one wavelength of the signal)."
From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near_and_far_field

The far field is not the induction.
It is the radiation.
There are many theories of radiation. Which one is the correct?

Ah, so "best theory so far" is good enough for you? Most of us aim a bit
higher.

OF course you don't Larry. Like so many here "belief" is far more
important to you than science which is what keeps you from learning the
truth.

Give us a treatise on how properties can exist independent of the thing
possessing the properties. Makes total sense...to nobody.

The above is total proof of insane jimp babble making no logical sense.
It seems to make sense to him though. He should give others in the ward a
chance at the ward computer.

So why would you suggest I do something "pointless"? Obviously you are
insane.

What is pointless is any attempt at intelligent conversation with you.

The Jefimenko causal equations of induction and radiation are the correct
ones that explain it all.

Right, that's why everytime I tell you to go read a book on a subject
you respond with a long winded and babbling diatribe about secrets,
government suppression, and other such nonsense hiding the "truth".

Go read a textbook; I'm not being payed to educate you or anyone else.

Don't know how to find textbooks or is it you don't know how to read or
is it you can't handle math beyond the high school level?

Just noting that you are a complete nut case demanding "proof" of things

Only in your addled twisted kooky imagination, jimp.
If you could understand what people are saying it wouldn't seem like

So your idea is that everything found in textbooks is obviously always
100 percent correct and beyond question. And anyone who questions any
"official" dogma is "insane". Got it.

Nope, someone that is convinced there is some conspiracy afoot to
prevent them from learning the "truth" and constantly demanding "proof"
for things readily found in textbooks and repeatedly uses phrases like
"official dogma" is a kook.

Tell us again what contrails and HAARP are then enlighten us on the

Jefimenko deals with Maxwellian theory so there is assumed "something" in
empty space. He does often calculate the Maxwell "stress equation", But
jefimenko only examines the equations and does not speculate on what
exactly is being "stressed". He does have some interesting speculations
on fields as momentum transfers however.

In Maxwellian theory in the space are the electric particless.

A Jefimenko speculations done after Maxwell are probably useless like the
Heaviside's.
We need to know what is "stressed".

It's a sad thing. And if it just were some
scrutiny to beware of false ideas, then it
wouldn't be so bad. But here we have a case
where you, personally, are offering the
facts, to the benefit of this newsgroup!

People today are so ungrateful, benj..

Fred is now starting to cite people who
believe in SUSY, benj! It's unlikely
that we can still trust him.. They must
have done something to blackmail him!

You know how unscrupulous they are,

You are correct. It's a lonely life being the only ones who understand
science. Luckily, you and I do not seem to be viable candidates for the
"smarter than Einstein" prize.
