What are electromagnetic, and electric and magnetic waves?
2.1. Currently, it is held that photons constitute electromagnetic radiation having an electric field vector E and a transverse magnetic field vector H. Because solar radiation is believed to consist of photons, it is also said to be electrical, since photons have an electrical field. Aetherometry argues that photons do indeed possess two transverse ‘fields’ or, more properly, waves or wave functions. It acknowledges that the two ‘fields’ have been assimilated to the concept of transverse electric and magnetic fields, from Faraday and Maxwell to present-day conceptions. However, it contends that these ‘fields’ are elements derived from defined wave functions, and that these wave functions only belong to charged particles, not to photons which, as particles of light, lack electrical charge. In fact, these authors propose that the fundamental relationship is that which de Broglie proposed as being needed to integrate quantum-mechanics with wave-mechanics: E = m0 c2 = hυ where m0 denotes
