Default Standing-Wave Current vs Traveling-Wave Current

RF current is a *result* of the H-field in the EM
wave. There are photons involved making it different
from DC. Electrons may (or may not) "bounce" off of
each other but photons traveling in opposite directions
in a transmission line do not and cannot "bounce" off
of each other. They pass each other like ships in the
night. Any theory based on photons "bouncing" off of
each other while traveling in opposite directions, is
inaccurate and doomed to failure. Simply applying the
scientific method will remedy the problem.


This thread has become long, it is so long--everyone must have some sort
of questions--or it (the thread) has prompted some sort of question(s)
in their minds'. If not, so be it, I am a "weirdo" for it ...

1) Does a .0001 Hz signal use photons? A .001 Hz? A .01 Hz? A .1 Hz? A 1
Hz? I mean, at what "magical point" do photons become involved?

2) What experiment(s) have "seen" these photons? A fogging of film
emulsion? ???

In all seriousness, I simply have a problem with photons doing much more
than "vibrating in near-place." With light, I can imagine photons ...
