The reason I started this thought process was because of the industry that I
am in...electronic communications. It is taught that non-linear harmonic
generation is theoretically infinite. So what happens when you generate a
wavelength shorter than fundamental particles? And what happens when you
generate considerable energy with wavelengths shorter than fundamental
particles? Does the radiating element begin to slip into a wormhole?
