Default Standing morphing to travelling waves, and other stupid notions

There is no need to use both descriptions at the same time. The laws of
physics are complete for either.


Actually, what you don't seem to realize is that exactly the same laws
apply to both at the same time and all those laws are perfectly
consistent. Photons cannot stand still. Therefore, standing waves are
not photonic, i.e. they are not EM waves. That you assert the standing
wave E-field and H-field are 90 degrees apart is insanity (in addition
to being completely false).
