Lorenz (and all other physicists and mathematicians) were obviously
ignorant of photons in those days. Here is what a more knowledgeable
physicist has said more than a century later:
Quoted from: "The Strange Theory of Light and Matter", (c)1985, by Richard
P. Feynman
Feynman has been called the "Great Explainer".[22] He gained a reputation
for taking great care when giving explanations to his students and for
making it a moral duty to make the topic accessible. His guiding principle
was that if a topic could not be explained in a freshman lecture, it was not
yet fully understood. Feynman gained great pleasure[23] from coming up with
such a "freshman-level" explanation". The below is the example:
"So now, I present to you the three basic actions, from which all the
phenomena of light and electrons arise:
-Action #1: A photon goes from place to place.
-Action #2: An electron goes from place to place.
-Action #3: An electron emits or absorbs a photon."
When Feynman says "light", he is including RF. Photons travel at the speed
of light in the medium which is impossible for electrons which possess rest
mass. There are no electrons in a pure vacuum, yet light and radio waves
pass through it at the speed of light with no problem.
Feynman was a teacher. The scientists were the opposite opinion:
"
In 1900, Max Planck was working on black-body radiation and suggested that
the energy in electromagnetic waves could only be released in "packets" of
energy. In his 1901 article [4] in Annalen der Physik he called these
packets "energy elements". The word quanta (singular quantum) was used even
before 1900 to mean particles or amounts of different quantities, including
electricity. Later, in 1905 Albert Einstein went further by suggesting that
electromagnetic waves could only exist in these discrete wave-packets.[5] He
called such a wave-packet the light quantum (German: das Lichtquant). The
name photon derives from the Greek word for light, ??? (transliterated
phôs), and was coined[Note 1] in 1926 by the physical chemist Gilbert Lewis,
who published a speculative theory in which photons were "uncreatable and
indestructible".[6] Although Lewis' theory was never accepted as it was
contradicted by many experiments, his new name, photon, was adopted
immediately by most physicists. Isaac Asimov credits Arthur Compton with
defining quanta of energy as photons in 1923."[7][8]
For scientists the photon is like the tone in sound.
In the pure vacuum are electrons. Do not you know about the Dirac electron
sea?
S*
Following your "logic", why go back to 1869? Why not question the periodic
table of elements because a few millennia ago, men of science asserted that
there are four elements: earth, air, fire, and water. So why not adopt the
four element argument as well?
