Classical Electromagnetism is fully understood. There are no
oputstanding questions in it at the classical level.

You have been shown quite specifiaclly that the very equation you
repeat here is the onr which leads to the conclusion that E and B are
in phase in a wave propagated in free space.
Who is the arsehole who taught you otherwise?

That statement is correct in exquisite detail, as you may verify for
yourself from any textbook in which the radiation from a dipole is
derived fully.

Your parents gave you an arsehole as well as an elbow or two. Learn
to distinguish them from one another.

I suggets that for starters you go and borrow some money with which to
puschase a few neurons.
