It depends upon how one defines "ordinary". The structure of free
space has existed since the big bang but man has only recently
discovered the structure and is still somewhat ignorant of its
configuration and characteristics. There is some evidence that the
structure of space in which ordinary non-dark matter and non-dark
energy exists, is made up of dark matter and dark energy.

I prefer this: "It seems to be a natural consequence of our points of view
to assume that
the whole of space is filled with electrons and flying electric ions of all
kinds. We have assumed that each stellar system in evolutions throws off
electric corpuscles into space. It does not seem unreasonable therefore to
think that the greater part of the material masses in the universe is found,
not in the solar [sic] systems or nebulae, but in 'empty' space" (Birkeland
1913).
Thorndike (1930) noted that "it could scarcely have been believed that the
enormous gaps between the stars are completely void. Terrestrial aurorae are
not improbably excited by charged particles from the Sun emitted by the Sun.
If the millions of other stars are also ejecting ions, as is undoubtedly
true, no absolute vacuum can exist within the galaxy."



A loop antenna' is a radio antenna consisting of a loop of wire or other
conductor with its ends connected to a two-wire transmission line. They have
a radiation pattern similar to a dipole antenna"

I do not understand.

A loop, like a dipole, is a standing wave antenna with a
characteristic impedance in the few hundred ohms, e.g. 600 ohms. The
reflections on a standing wave antenna have to originate from an
impedance discontinuity. The feedpoint impedance of a standing wave
antenna is Zfp = (Vfor + Vref)/(Ifor + Iref) where phasor math is
used. Let's assume that the feedpoint impedance is 100+j0 ohms and the
antenna is being fed with Z0=100 ohm feedline. There are no
reflections on the feedline which means a Z0-match to 100 ohms exists
at the antenna feedpoint. Assume the characteristic impedance of the
antenna wire over ground is 600 ohms. The 600 ohm to 100 ohm impedance
discontinuity at the feedpoint creates a reflection coefficient of
0.7. That's where the reflections on the standing wave loop antenna
are coming from. One reason the feedpoint of a resonant loop is higher
than for a 1/2WL dipole is that the reflection coefficient for the
loop is 0.7 while the reflection coefficient for a dipole is obviously
1.0 at the ends of the dipole.

The concept may be easier to understand using a rhombic example. A
terminated rhombic is terminated in the characteristic impedance of
the antenna wire above ground, e.g. 600 ohms, which eliminates
reflections on the antenna and turns it into a traveling wave antenna
where the feedpoint impedance of the antenna is equal to the
characteristic impedance of the antenna over a wide frequency range,
i.e. Zfp = Vfor/Ifor, independent of frequency.

Removing the termination turns the rhombic antenna into a standing
wave antenna and the feedpoint impedance becomes Zfp = (Vfor + Vref)/
(Ifor + Iref), i.e. the feedpoint impedance is frequency dependent
like other standing wave antennas.

"Electromagnetic pulse in a coaxial cable reflects from a short circuit with
the opposite polarity (upside down)"

A loop is like a short circuit. What do a Electromagnetic pulse in a loop?
It simply travel trough the loop and looks like the "reflected with the
opposite polarity ". Why am I wrong and D. Russell is right?
