Is that the contradiction?

You obviously misunderstood what I was trying to say
so let me expand my statement:

Since contradictions do not exist in reality, any
apparent contradiction between standing EM waves and
traveling EM waves has to exist only in the human mind.
There is no contradiction in the real world. The photons
in a standing wave are moving at the speed of light,
c*VF, not standing still in the standing wave. Believing
that the component traveling waves cease to exist is
the contradiction and cannot occur in reality.
