"The Physics World states that displacement current does not exist with respect to radiation---." Who and where? Be reasonable. Free space is normally nonconductive. It is a good insulator or dielectric. Light is by all accounts an electrromagnetic radiation. We readily see light from sources throughout space. Michael Faraday (1791- 1867) wrote: E = F/Q where E & F are parallel vectors. E = the electric field strength in force per unit charge and F is measured in newtons per coulomb. Electric charges` force on each other are readily measured. Likewise, magnetic forces` influence on each other and upon electric charges are readily measured. Radio waves as Terman says: "---travel with the speed of light and consist of magnetic and electrostatic fields at right angles to each other and to the direction of travel." Electrostatic does not mean stationary. There are no conductors in space suited to support an electric current for wave propagation, therefore it is the invisible but readily measurable electric and magnetic fields which invoke action at great distances.
