Doesn't look basic, and I suspect it never will to me. The only thing I
can get from this is the idea that a particle model will do what the wave
one does, which isn't surprising but I've been told that particle based
models are usually best left to situations (usually atomic scale quantum
mechanical) where the wave model won't do, and I've never seen anyone suggest
that wave-based theories of electromagnetics were inadequate (or inefficient)
for scales involving obviously large numbers of particles. The other
explanations seemed to grip, but not this one. I'll leave well alone now, but
if anyone else takes up the discussion, I'll read it and only comment if I
can't stop myself..

It's not basic, and it's not real.

Art has made up a whole new wing of physics that has only the slightest
ties to reality. It involves neutrinos leaping from diamagnetic
materials to radiate. And only diamagnetic materials can radiate,
unless he revised his theories, which he does regularly. And there are
NO waves, just particles And antennas don't work properly unless they
are a multiple of a wavelength, but it's OK to roll all that wire up in
a ball so that a 160m antenna fits in a shoebox. And then you can use
that with a teeny Dish network dish for directionality. Despite the
fact that those dishes won't work reasonably at anything less than low
GHz frequencies.

He is, to put it very plainly, nuts.
