As I've told you many times, you could keep from becoming confused on
these points if you would work them through from the standpoint of
fields, rather than power.


As you know, I did exactly that in a private email to
you, Jim, and it didn't change anything.

Imagine you're floating above the ground ...


Just last night in a dream, I imagined that I was floating
above ground. Since I can also imagine that I went to the
moon, do you really consider imagination to be a tool of
knowledge?

An interference pattern doesn't 'cause' energy to move around, fields
don't move other fields just as waves don't move other waves and photons
don't move other photons.


Then exactly what "redistributes the photons to regions that
permit constructive interference", as the FSU web page says?
Is it really imagination that accomplishes that magic feat?
If not, exactly how and why and what redistributes (moves)
those photons?

I will be happy to engage you in a step by step mathematical
explanation/discussion of what happens during superposition but
all you have done so far is hand-waving and ad hominem attacks.

Given the power-density equation:

Ptotal = P1 + P2 + 2*SQRT(P1*P2)cos(A)

May I assume that from what you have said so far, that P1
and P2 never existed in the first place???? If they never
existed, wouldn't their magnitudes be zero in violation
of every rule of physics concerning reflections????

Jim, you have *NEVER* said what you think causes total
re-reflection of reflected waves (aside from your magical
imagination). Please enlighten us with some math and details
that don't violate the laws of physics.
