"Fast" is relative, Bill, not absolute. And, waves are macrocosmic as well as microcosmic. Lines macrocosmic and microcosmic, both, are asymptotic.Square waves are forbidden in physics. Each incoming and outgoing "vertical" line cannot be perfectly straight up and down. This would require harmonics of infinite frequency thus infinite energy. The shape of any EM wave is exactly that of the movement of the charged particle that created it. No particle with mass can move infinitely fast, which would be required to make a "square wave". The top of the square wave is also impossible to create, as all EM waves are constantly changing. Constant change is needed as a magnetic field can only be created by a moving charged particle. All "square" waves are comprised of many different waves of different frequencies and phases. This is called a Fourier Transform. Well established in physics.
@Atlan0001 I was wrong. You don't have to worry that you'll end up like Frank, you're already there.If you'll keep thinking about your 0/1 binary base (especially in your From a drop of water... thread ), you may end up like FrankDiMeg12 on physicsdiscussionforum.org with his ON/IN BALANCE: https://physicsdiscussionforum.org/i-have-the-grand-unified-theory-of-physics-t3043.html
That's not his only post like this and there were many more of them before they were deleted.
That's just pure insanity, just like his ON/IN BALANCE:For a century and more the cosmological CONSTANT (t=0) of CHANGE (entropy (t=+1) (t=-1) (t=*1*)) has been denied existence by some who should know better!
-----------------------------
1.) "Instantaneous spontaneous concurrent REALTIME (t=0) 'front' ('Frontier')."
2.) "Light's coordinate point SPACETIME (past histories (t=+1) past light cones -->|<-- future histories (t=-1) future light cones)."
3.) "Collapsed cosmological constant (/\) Planck / Big Bang 'Mirror Horizon' (t=*1*)." The Horizon set of all the possible infinities of horizon universes. Physically, Infinite MULTIVERSE Universe (possibly including -- to me more and more probably including -- the anti-Universe to the Universe (it only being a matter of where and what it, the anti-Universe, is / it was never annihilated)).
4.) "Change" ("Entropy") is not 1-dimensional."
5.) "Fundamental Binary Base2" (infinite ('0' (null unity)) and/or finite ('1' (unity)) . . . plus parity trojan (Oops! '1/2' (3-d?) . . . and vibratory / NOT so much a symmetrically "flat" irresistibly immovable 2-d "parity").
There is practically no difference between you two.Consistent WITH what are E=MC2, TIME dilation, the fourth dimension, AND TIME, gravity/acceleration involves what is BALANCED inertia/inertial resistance; AS the stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky; AS WHAT IS E=MC2 is taken directly from F=MA; AS the rotation of WHAT IS the Moon matches the revolution; AS TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual ON/IN BALANCE; AS two AND three dimensional SPACE are BALANCED in accordance WITH WHAT IS the fourth dimension; AS the mean density of WHAT IS the Sun is ONE FOURTH of that of WHAT IS the Earth. (INDEED, consider WHAT IS THE EYE ON BALANCE !!!!) Magnificent !!!! It is CLEARLY proven. I have CLEARLY proven WHAT IS the fourth dimension !!!! I have CLEARLY solved WHAT IS the coronal heating “problem” !!!! (AGAIN, I have CLEARLY explained how and why the mean density of WHAT IS the Sun IS ONE FOURTH of that of WHAT IS the Earth. Great.) TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual ON/IN BALANCE. Great. It ALL CLEARLY makes perfect sense ON BALANCE !!!! (BALANCE AND completeness go hand in hand !!!!) Perfect. Piece it ALL together. Think !!!!
My experiment is a real heart breaker, Bill.
There are no waves in space.
What you wrote contradicts Newton's second law of motion. And you chose @Classical Motion for your user name.Right before the photon hits you, you feel nothing. ZERO. Then the photon first touches you and it’s just a tickle. As the photon proceeds into you, it gets thicker, denser and stronger. Hotter….. then at maximum intensity…… it stops. Instantly stops. ZIP.
That took a period of time. Immediately after that, there is nothing, no stimulus. That period of nothingness is equal to the period of acceleration. 180 degrees of time, and ½ wave…. length. And this is the period where the matter reacts to that stimulus. It vibrates like a sine oscillation. Sine output. Mass rings like a bell. The photon is the hammer, the clapper. Think of class B amp.
A twist in logic and basic physics. What is the lever arm of your torque in case of the oscillating electric charge?The acceleration transferred is a torque, not a push. A twist.
When a charged particle moves sideways it creates an EM wave that moves outward perpendicular to the direction of motion. A simple straight wire antenna sends no energy in the direction the wire is pointed.How does your charge oscillate - parallel or perpendicular to the photon's motion?
