You seek to answer the unanswerable, you seek to explain the
unexplainable ... this is far from "being wrong." It simply proves that
our knowledge is incomplete, at present. This is something we all hope
to cure in the future. Now, we simply debate the different explanations
which exist. Magnetic fields certainly play a prominent part in
manipulations of EM waves/particles, and the opposite ... what is going
on precisely is up for grabs, again, in my humble opinion.

The fact is, although I think we can see the stress lines in the ether
with the simple iron filings, paper and magnet, we know nothing about
it--indeed, the "proof of its' existence" I am citing might have yet
another explanation. Indeed, at this point, ether almost requires a
"leap of faith" such as necessary with a belief in God. By sheer
definition we cannot even devise a bottle to hold a sample of ether.

However, cowards will run from the unknown, brave men will sit and
discuss how to attempt to prove it, one way or another.

A system with equilibrium will, at some point, cease movement, unless
there is an input of energy from an external source, this energy might
appear cloaked in many forms. Can we at least agree upon this single
point, first?
