BTW, while this is done in the spirit of fun all answers are accurate
as best I can make them based on my understanding of physics


For that, you get the golden quantum badge of know-it-all-ism. However,
it has been misplaced; and, everyone is claiming they never touched
it--only looked at it!

So Cecil , what should I call incoherent photons?

I'm not sure but I'm pretty sure you cannot
call them a single wave (function).

Speaking of which, I now feel the urge to put Beethoven's Fifth on the
turntable...

I prefer Glenlivet's fifth on my table.

Well, I make fun of "them", "it" and "their writings", however--I
probably shouldn't ...

Well, that is certainly one way to look at it.

Another might be:

Fools simply stop asking questions, accept mysteries, have a religious
devotion to the idea, "All is already known!", shout at all who keep
looking in cupboards for clues, etc., etc. ... time has a way of working
some of this out.

I don't know anyone here that is that way. I do know people who have
the temerity to question wild claims, and not accept them as fact until
good and compelling proof is offered, or if it at least "works" to a
close approximation. It is a mark of wisdom to understand that is
prudent, not foolish.

Has a person stopped asking questions if they ask a question about some
new and unproven concept?

The idea is to answer or discuss the question, not deride the questioner.

Otherwise we sound like:

Person 1: Boy the US healthcare system has some big problems

Person 2: LIBERAL!

Person 1: It's hot out today.

Person 2: LIBERAL!

Ohhh boy, another can of worms.

1) One mans poison is anothers' medicine.
2) People learn, a fool today--a genius tomorrow.
3) The three blind men go to see the elephant.
4) Mistakes are forgive-able.
5) etc.
6) etc.

I am afraid with your offering, I cannot offer fitting argument ... we
live, we learn.

John, to debate Proton s is to first describe it correctly.
Some would say that protons are without mass and composed only
of energy and onlso have momentum! Newton is quite clear that one has
to have mass to have momentum
and all the masters would state that you can't have equilibrium if a
photon does not have mass.
With respect to waves scientists state there are two types of waves!
It would appear that more experimentation is to take place before this
can be resoved.

"The photon/wave properties of rf still remains a mystery ... and proof

Proof of the wave property is abundant. Electrical energy escapes into
free space in the form of waves. Countless observations prove it.
The wavefront is composed of the electric and magnetic fields at right
angles to each other and both are at right angles to the direction of
travel.

Direction of the electric flux is called the polarization of the wave.

Voltage on a wire properly aligned with the electric field varies along
the length of the wire and not very much across the width of the wire.
