Yes, after I posted it, I realized that it was a rhetorical question.

I learnt displacement current inside a condenser it was = eo* d(phi E)/
dt no EM radiation inside the condenser to made that current possible,
in any case EM radiation in physical condenser will come out from
condenser to the rest of the universe :).
I also learnt photons was necessary to explain certain energy
interchange phenomena such as fotoelectric effect or subatomic
particle interactions, wave-particle duality for me means "duality",
not "wave kaput" :) to account for EM wave well explainable
phenomenom.
As it was taught to me (I am not physicist), quantum nature of a 80 m
wavelenght energy it is useless for calculations and invisible to our
instrument resolution because its immensely large quantic number. Is
it wrong?

Photons are very useful in the analysis of transmission lines. They can
be brought into the discussion to divert it from taking a path that
makes a participant uncomfortable. If unable to answer a question
logically, simply toss photons, optics, quantum mechanics, aether, and
other confounding factors in, and presto, people will begin arguing
about the spurious concepts and forget that you've avoided answering the
difficult question. It's called misdirection, a time-honored technique
used by politicians and prestidigitators as well as promoters of
pseudoscience.
