The only thing that Maxwell came close to, with his EM equations, is absorption. Absorption has a wave like dynamic. It's easy to measure. UN-known to science, the absorber is reactive. It's has inertia. It will react to the stimulation with an equal and opposite reaction. Giving you an alternation.
And everyone.....thinks this means that the propagation.....has this alternation. Neither the emission dynamic or the propagation dynamic has alternation. An isolated monopole charge can emit. There is nothing there to alternate. One electric pole. An electron can not emit a positive field. And visa versa.
When the propagation passes you, it has a duration, or a length to it. This electrical disturbance lasts for 1/2 period, unless you are moving incident to it. This disturbance will induce two torques on the absorber, an electrical torque and a magnetic torque. When the disturbance passes, the absorber will reset these torques with the inertial reactance torque of the absorber. In layman's terms, it rings, it vibrates, it oscillates. Then there will be a duration of no disturbance at all.......it will also be 1/2 period, with no incident motion. This is the same time that the absorber is resetting. It's a 50% duty cycle, with no incident motion. EM radiation.........blinks. It strobes. It's intermittent. In 1/2 periods.(this is the only thing Einstein got right, even tho his math about it was wrong)
Emission is an instant event. It doesn't take any time. This is why, no matter the velocity of the emitter, the propagation has a constant length or duration. No matter the motion of the emitter.....the propagated length(or duration) remains the same. The spinning spoke on a moving hub does not change length.
I know that statement is hard to swallow. How can something happen in an instant? How would you define instant? How long does it take, to flip an electron? To flip a ring. It's not exactly the flip that does it......it's the stop of the flip, that can disassociate a charge from it's field. The field that is going to be emitted is already up to velocity, it is in rotation when attached to the charge. So, no acceleration time is needed. And the field is already at the proper length, so no field grow time is needed. All that is needed is the cut. Think of spokes spinning on a hub.(minus a rim) Already at speed and length. Just cut and release them. The spoke retains it's duration, induces it's duration, and is absorbed with a equal and opposite duration. 0,1/2,1 emission,propagation,absorption.
A non reactive detector will allow us to measure these blinks. And I do believe that the measurement and the displacement of that duty cycle, could lead to some very interesting enlightenment about space and time.
My understanding of Relativity (which is not a highly technical understanding, I essentially see it as a theory based on the premise that observational reality exists relative to the speed of light in a vacuum) leads me to a bit of a different conclusion than most. Relativity is mostly solid, absent a single fundamental insight. Einstein viewed the Singularity as a mathematical curiosity, and believed black holes would not exist in nature...
The Singularity is the fundamental unifying force. This understanding is what renders quantum mechanics comprehensible in the context of relativity, and explains dark matter and dark energy. What is "the speed of light in a vacuum?" It is the speed of light relative to the Singularity. In objective reality, nothing is time dependant, it only appears to be because the speed of light relative to the Singularity is objectively unquantifiable, as all relative units of speed are infinitely divisible. So we make *subjective* measurements of reality in terms of fitness (significant digits) and intellectual heritage (base ten mathematics, limited, relatively primitive language). The more advanced and efficient our systems for processing, compressing, storing, and transmitting information become, the closer we get to understanding objective reality in *relative* terms. However, our understanding is only improved *relative* to prior experience, and remains infinitely short of *objective* understanding regardless of what we do.
Dark energy is the tension between what can be described as a single mathematical point of infinite energy, and infinite mathematical points of zero energy. The single "point" of energy exists beyond the dawn of time as we understand it, infinitely far away. The infinite points of zero energy exist beyond the end of time as we comprehend it, infinitely far away. In relative terms, the thermodynamic arrow of time can be described as the relative motion of matter and energy away from infinite energy and towards zero energy. As we move from the high energy end of the eternal spectrum (+
∞) towards the low energy end (-
∞) the universe appears to expand, because we are essentially moving away from infinite density towards an infinite expanse, remaining forever suspended infinitely far away from each. In other words, the Universe never began and never ends. While we view reality in terms of finite cause and effect (if,then...) objectively, all effect exists relative to infinite cause and vice versa.
Now, imagine a coffee cup orbiting Saturn. The gravitational impact of that coffee cup exists, but at humanity's present level of mathematical precision, would be unmeasurable in the context of the entire Solar System (now, imagine infinite coffee cups at a *relatively* low frequency scattered across an infinite universe). Imagine a brown dwarf existing 1 trillion lightyears away. The gravitational effect on its surroundings is persistent, relative to scale. It will be impossible to quantify directly from our perspective given our current level of precision in calculating gravity, but the effect will exist nonetheless (now, imagine infinite brown dwarfs at a *relatively* low frequency scattered across an infinite universe). Dark matter, is the cumulative effect of things that seem individually insignificant *relative* to our perspective.
As far as quantum mechanics goes, I am often reminded of a quote attributed I believe to Richard Feynman: "All the mystery of quantum mechanics is contained within the double slit experiment." My understanding of the wave of probability derives directly from my understanding of the double slit experiment. Until it is measured, light passes through both slits simultaneously. To me, this is what I would describe as a "hint" at objective reality. In the experiment, we are controlling the circumstances so we can mathematically quantify an event with two possible outcomes. But in reality, that event is part of a chain of events with infinite actual outcomes. Observation imposes a perceived outcome (i.e., measurement forces the light to choose one slit or the other) but in reality, the outcomes are infinite. The nature of the light lies with the Singularity, where all realities exist simultaneously.
