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.

Cecil,

Thanks, you completely confirmed my suspicion. This photonic limitation
is something that exists only in your head.
