Yes, but what does this have to do with spinning electrons?
Absolutlely nothing. It is pure concidence that the poles of an electron
*seem* to always correspond to the poles of a solenoid wrt the charge's
direction of motion.

What poles of an electron?

The ones that exclude Wolfgang from the theatre?

It's not her fault.

<< Electron spin resonance (ESR), magnetic resonance phenomenon involving
the electron spin. MR imaging and MR spectroscopy rely on the resonant
behaviour of the atomic nucleus in an external magnetic field. A similar
phenomenon occurs with the electron.
Although most electrons exist in pairs with no net spin, electron spin
resonance may be observed from the unpaired electrons that exist, for
example, in free radicals.The ESR phenomenon occurs at much higher
frequencies than the NMR phenomenon, and therefore the technique is
inherently more sensitive than its nuclear equivalent. In principle, the
methods of MR imaging can be applied to ESR, but such experiments are
hampered by very short relaxation times, typically in the microsecond range.
An alternative approach is to administer free radicals such as nitroxides
and, by the Overhauser effect, enhance the proton polarization in a
proton/electron double resonance experiment. Such experiments have been
proposed for very low field imaging. PS The Encyclopaedia of Medical

Only because the vacuum evidence doesn;t exist. Even if you
achieve a hi quality vacuum the emitter, detector and envelope
if required is an electrostatic impurity.

That is like saying the coverage of the inside of a sphere depends
on the nozzle velocity. Unless the paint can reflect back into the
container then the coverage is 100%. EM waves don't return to the
emitter unless reflected by matter. You may be looking at the SI
definitions which incorporate SR. The cgs values are from the
properties of a sphere. You'll recognize 12 pi from spherical geometry.

It works for light years just the same as for millimeters.

There is no requirement for the electrons in the conductor to spin.

What happens when they stop? {rhetorical)

I'll give a rhetorical reply. Would there still be years if the Earth kept
one face to the Sun as the Moon keeps one face to the Earth? How about if
it kept the same orientation with respect to the stars?

That is a rectal reply. The earth will still have it's identity as a
planet. The electoron will shine itself away as gamma radiation.

Didn't know the elector Ron had a vote.
We know that Mr Positron and Miss Electron will elope when married, giving
birth to a pair of wayward gamma children inheriting DNA from both parents,
but I STILL don't see why you are putting spin on it before the dance
begins.

So thick black smoke won't pour out of the ESR machines that your local
radiologist just aquired. Besides... ya don't want to mess with the ghost
of anybody named "Wolgang".

Something makes light traverse nothing. I still say that is an E-field
alternating with a B-field, so there!

It is a fine, but important point. At this level it is hard to say an
electron is matter or energy. Hard to say magnetism is a field, or a
perturbation of a field.

One way to break the deadlock is to try and explain the electric field in
terms of of a magnetic field. I think you find it gets extremely
complicated.

Nuclear spin is significant however.

The Sun spins. Being a fluid, not all latitudes spin at the same rate. I
have yet to see any proof that the nucleus of the hydogen atom is spinning,
though. How fast does a deuterium nucleus spin, and which axis does it spin
on?
Does this affect the field, producing Lagrange points now that we have three
bodies, Electron, Neutron and Proton?
Does deuterium have any magnetic properties that differ from hydrogen?

<<The proton (1Hydrogen nucleus) is the most sensitive (apart from tritium)
nucleus and usually yields sharp signals. Even though its chemical shift
range is narrow, its sharp signals make proton NMR very useful.

http://drx.ch.huji.ac.il/nmr/techniques/1d/row1/h.html What did your search
engine die of, atrophy?

A beam in the TV tube is a current and is deflected by magnetic attraction
and repulsion.

Lorentz force perhaps ?

I don't care what names you give it. The deflection is real.
But Lorentz force is between massive entities not the divine guidance of
space faries. If you leave a hole like that some philosopher will try to
drive a truck thru it... in reverse gear.

They are your fae.

Similar deflection by the charged plates of an oscilloscope cannot be
magnetic.
Deflection by the magnetic yoke of a TV tube has to be.
Yes, I know there are coils to produce the field, but I'm talking about the
field itself. How it gets there is irrelevant. It exists in a vacuum.

But does it exist absent a moving charge?

Does an electric field exist absent a moving flux?

YES!

Good. So a magnetic field can exist without a moving charge too.

We shouldn't exclude the possiblily 'cause how could four generations of
Minkowski etherians possibly be wrong? OTOH... they might be wrong about a
lot of things.
Ditching SR doesn't fix Maxwell.

Charge two capacitor plates with a battery.
Measure the force between them with a fish scale.
Remove the battery.
What does the scale do when the battery is removed?
Measure the current through the disconnected battery or the disconneted
capacitor (they should be the same)
and compute the force using Amperes law.
Compare your result with the scale's indication.

Betcha I can measure the force without using fish, and it is more than your
wimpy capacitor can manage.  You manage a few scraps of paper, I can suspend
a human being on a permanent magnet.
Add up the Lorentz force of all the co-moving charges in the magnet and
you'll see why.

SAY AUNTIE ! ROFL :o)
it is no small assumtion that some unknown property of space will substitute
for the spinning (circulating, orbiting)
entities when an EM wave is propagating far from any matter.
There seems to be an intuitve rejection of Huygen principle resulting from
similar reasoning.
<<Huygens's Principle:
every point on a propagating wavefront serves as the source of spherical
secondary wavelets, such that the wavefront at some later time is the
envelope of these wavelets.  >>
http://www.physlink.com/Education/AskExperts/ae471.cfm Antenna radiate in
circles.
I agree with Huyghens.
The generated E-field, like the cork bobbing on water, is stationary with
respect to the source.
I agree with Huyghens.
The magnetic field travels radially, like the ripples on water.
I agree with Huyghens.
I do not agree with you that the radiation is caused by millions of corks on
the water spinning to make it happen.
So we don't need millions of spin fairies.
They are your fae, not mine.
I do not believe it because you have yet to provide any evidence to support
it, and I'm a stickler for evidence and abhor assumption.
It is you that has to provide a Lorentz force, absent a charge.
Not so.  See Lorentz, it's not my force.
Burden of proof is upon the claimant.
Hmmm I tho't it was on the one with the biggest lawyers and the most money.

Consider this:
Huygens and Feynman both produce good answers but are
logical nonsenese. Mathematically either is easier to model
than perturbations of E lines of force because the wave model
ensures conservation of mass and charge, on paper.
Coloumb lines can reach out just like gravitational lines to
convey a reaction force with any charged matter to establish
a speed of light dependant on the matter density of the region.

30,000 km or most of the solar system actually.

but the E builds in the first few wavelengths.

Then imagine it laying and egg << Thus, in the antenna near field there is
stored energy.  (The complex radiation field equations have imaginary terms
indicating reactive power.)

https://ewhdbks.mugu.navy.mil/ANTNRFLD.HTM There is oodles of stored energy
at the point where the rock hits the water, where the amplitude is at its

[Stump speech] Does this not remove some of the magic in Feynman's sum over

Does this not eliminate the need for retarded potential and displacement
current?
Does this not explain the near-field H predominance ?
Answered above.
Yep.
It looks like we are proxys for a Feynman-Huygens duel.
Nope.  Bottom line, light propagates in nothing by an alternating B field
and E-field 90 degrees phase shifted, That's how it leaves the antenna and
*that's how it drives the next one.  *
Yep.
In the near field or the far field?
Ya can't have both without spin faries.  (ether)
> Why not?
The near field shows one E/H ratio, the far-field shows another, but
reversing Tx and Rx  positions, doesn't swap the near space for far space
behavior. So if there are spin faires, they apparently favor hanging out
around radiators and absorbers.
... perhaps because spinning entities can be found there
to help with the ambitious work load that Maxwell has
set for them?
Weirder stuff happens when there is a medium involved (i.e.  air, shape of
