Chapter Eleven

Electromagnetic energy:
a matter wave?
 

Electromagnetic energy is propagated by a matter wave moving at the velocity of light on a "surface" of a three-dimensional space manifold with respect to a fourth *spatial* dimension.

Chapter one postulated that space is composed of four *spatial* dimensions and a continuous non-quantized form of mass.

In Chapter two, the quantum or particle properties of mass, energy, and electromagnetic energy were derived in terms of discrete resonant "structures" formed in space by oscillations in a continuous non-quantized form of mass.

Chapter three derived the propagation of a electromagnetic energy in terms of a matter wave on a "surface" of a three-dimensional space manifold with respect to a fourth *spatial* dimension caused by oscillations in a continuous non-quantized form of mass.

(Louis de Broglie was the first to theorize that all particles had a wave component.  His theories were confirmed by the discovery of electron diffraction by crystals in 1927 by Davisson and Germer.  However, this means there must be a continuous non-quantized medium for it to be propagated on because even the smallest possible particle must have a wave component. Therefore, there must exist a continuous non-quantized medium to propagate the wave of the smallest possible particle. However, macroscopic observations of wave energy indicate that it can only be propagated on a medium made up of mass. Therefore, the success of Louis de Broglie theory indicates that a continuous non-quantized form of mass exists.)

Therefore, Chapters two and three define the mechanism response for both the wave and particle characteristics of electromagnetic energy because it defines both its wave and particle properties in terms of a common mechanism related to oscillations in a continuous non-quantized form of mass.

However, Chapters two and three did not define the mechanism responsible for the movement of a matter wave across a "surface" of a three-dimensional space manifold with respect to a fourth *spatial* dimension.

It can be shown an inertial component of a continuous non-quantized form of mass is responsible for its propagation.

The reason can be understood by comparing it to why the inertial property of a block of wood floating on the surface of water is responsible for the propagation of wave on a surface of water.

The surface of the water will represent a "surface" of a three-dimensional space manifold with respect to a fourth *spatial* dimension and the mass of the wood will represent the mass associated with a continuous non-quantized form of mass.

(Later in Chapter fifteen it will be shown the reason the velocity of light is universally constant, despite the fact that it is transmitted on a physical medium consisting of a continuous non-quantized of mass is because of a relativistic property of time and four *spatial* dimensions.)

When an energy source applies a force to one side of the block of wood, part of its surface will become depressed while part of it will become elevated with respect to the surface of the water.  The buoyancy of the water would force the part of the wood that was depressed back to the surface.  The momentum due to the inertia associated with the mass of the wood would cause the part that was depressed to become elevated above the surface of the water.  Gravity would then force the elevated portion of the wood back to the surface of the water.  The block of wood would oscillate back and forth in this manner generating a wave on the surface of the water.

Electromagnetic energy is propagated by a similar mechanism.

Chapter ten showed how a force applied to a "surface" of a three-dimensional space manifold will cause it to become either "depressed" or "elevated" with respect to a fourth *spatial* dimension.  The energy associated with a "depression" in a "surface" of a three-dimensional space manifold with respect to a fourth *spatial* dimension would cause the "depressed" portion back to the "surface" of that three-dimensional manifold.  The momentum due to the inertial properties of a continuous non-quantized mass component of three-dimensional space will then cause that "surface" to become "elevated" with respect to a fourth *spatial* dimension.  Then the energy associated with the "elevated" "surface" of a three-dimensional space manifold will cause it to return to the "surface" of that three-dimensional space manifold.  This will cause the "surface" of a three-dimensional space manifold to oscillate back and forth generating a wave on the "surface" of a three-dimensional space manifold.

These alternating "elevations" and "depressions" in a "surface" of a three-dimensional space manifold with respect to a fourth *spatial* dimension would cause a matter wave to move across the a "surface" of a three-dimensional space manifold.

In Chapter ten all forms of energy were derived in terms of a "slope" generated in a "surface" of a three-dimensional space manifold with respect to a fourth *spatial* dimension by a distortion or "displacement" in a "surface" of that manifold.

The "displacements" in a "surface" of a three-dimensional space manifold with respect to a fourth *spatial* dimension caused by the peaks and valleys of a matter wave would result the formation of a three-dimensional distortion in the "surface" of a three-dimensional space manifold with respect to a fourth *spatial* dimension.

The electrical component of electromagnetic energy is a result of the force associated with the "slope" of a distortion in a "surface" of a three-dimensional space manifold that is parallel to the velocity vector of the matter wave.

However, the magnetic component of electromagnetic energy is a result of the force associated with a "slope" of a distortion in a "surface" of a three-dimensional space manifold that is perpendicular to the velocity vector of the matter wave.

The reason why the electrical and magnetic components of Electromagnetic energy are always 90 degrees out of phase is because the slopes associated with these distortions with respect to a fourth *spatial* dimension will always 90 degrees out of phase with each other.
