Yes, radials simulate a true earth ground by empirical test. They are an

That's interesting. What's a "true earth ground"?
It is the reference point to which all electromagnetic phenomena on Earth is
at zero potential.
What are its properties?
A magnitude of zero.
How could you connect an antenna to it?
With a conductive material.
Just where is this wonderful place? If I were
to guess, I'd say it'd have to be in Texas.
