Where do you get so many goofy ideas? Do you have any references at all

definition of EM energy? I have been in the wave business professionally
for about 40 years, and I have read many technical papers, reference
books, and text books. I have yet to encounter anything that indicated
the inferior nature of standing waves in the energy community.

I guess the authors of the textbooks never thought anyone
would be so ignorant as to believe that EM waves can stand
still. :-)

EM waves are photonic in nature must travel at the speed of
light in the medium. A standing wave stands still and oscillates
in place. Therefore, A standing wave is not an EM wave - It is
something else, by definition.
