Yehi, I can't blame you, but I didn't claim anything of the sort.
What I intended to show was that Andro & Jako were talking
past each other. One was describing unpolarized light. The other
one explained a circular polarized photon (stream) with a 90°, pi/2,
offset in the E vs M phases.

An astute observation; I learned another oolie here.

Astute? Plain wrong. Old Man explicitly described plane polarised light. In any case, monochromatic implies coherent and polarised (plane, circular, or elliptical, but in any case, fully polarised), so invoking the magic exp(iwt) or its real relatives means polarised.

Furthermore, for a circularly polarised beam/plane wave, we still have E and H 90 degrees apart in space, and in phase in time. Wrong is wrong, and what's the point of trying to justify another poster's persistent wrongness about the relative phases of E and H? Just write down the solutions to the Maxwell equations/Helmholtz equations, and see what the phase relations is. Interestly though, the persistently wrongheaded poster has multiply posted links to graphics of the 2 90 degree out-of-phase plane-polarised components of E for a circularly polarised field under the apparent impression that they're E and H for a plane wave.

Only 52756 more to go to scientific Nirvana, or death.

Damn your eyes. I would certainly lose interest in this and all
intellectual discussions if I were on my way to meet Pretty Woman in
the Polar Bear lodge. Oh... interest would return, sometime later.
Maybe years, but sometime. :-) How long did it take Ulyses to get
tired of Circe?

Wasn't it about 3 years? Ah, Circe, one of the first to loudly state "All men are pigs!"

The injustice of women is that inside the body of a goddess, lurks the
mind of Joe the Plumber -- our instinctual chemistry tells us it's
Joan of Arc crossed with Mary Magdelane crossed with Nefertiti; but
it's just Joe, all the same. It doesn't seem fair. But time always
has its revenge -- their bodies are only borrowed.
