Do you deny the photonic nature of radio waves?



Hi John,

This last question is standard CecilBaiting at which he is a master.

I've made a career in photonics, so you will have to go some distance
to start offering a case that comes remotely close to their cross
application. Barring that, why introduce concepts that don't advance
the topic? The following is hardly any clearer by clinging to poor
metaphors:


I guess the perceived quality of any given metaphor depends on your
mental model of the rest of the universe. Antennas and photons work
for me. If they don't work for you, I have no problem with that.

Remember, it is Cecil, not me, who demands agreement or eternal verbal
torture.
