Yeeesh. You had it on, dog, up until that. And don't try to tell me
(again) that I'm lying that you said it.

(Remember when you wrote this? "If reflected energy makes its way back
into the final amp, it was never generated in the first place, by
definition." Hint: apply the same idea to your "rearward-traveling
momentum" and you'll have it.)

Egads Jim, exactly how much of reality do you think I am capable of
ignoring?

You're evidently capable of ignoring at least some, Cecil.

I *don't* agree with that definition above and your implication that
momentum and energy don't need to be conserved is simply metaphysics
in action.

We both know that momentum and energy must be conserved. We just
disagree agree on how nature chooses to do that. And, because of that
disagreement, I'm forced to endure your beligerant rhetoric.

Well then, please enlighten us, Jim. How does nature choose to
reverse the momentum in the wave reflected from a mismatched
source? It is obvious that the wave reflected from a mismatched
source has momentum in the rearward direction. Exactly what
reverses that momentum? Please be specific. Remember that standing
waves prove that the rearward-traveling wave exists in reality and
thus possesses energy and momentum in the rearward direction, both
of which must be conserved.

Maybe you should read _Microwave_Transmission_ by J. C. Slater
before you continue?

Typo: please change "source" to "load" in the above. Sorry.

The definition is accurate as well as descriptive. As I've explained at
least a dozen times, energy only moves in the direction of transfer.

Energy moves in whatever direction energy moves. According to
you, if we reflect light energy from Alpha Centauri back to
Alpha Centauri, no energy movement has occurred. Never mind
that it takes 20 years to accomplish that energy movement.
Your "no work equals no energy" concept is as bogus as it
possibly can be. Joules of energy passing a point in delta-
time is power, by IEEE definition.

Cecil, unless you can simply express your views, and let me be the one
to express my views, the exchange becomes degraded to ascii mud
wrestling. I have no interest in that. Please make your point without
speaking on 'my behalf'.

That's exactly why you are in my email kill file. Please find
someone else with which to enjoy that favorite sadistic sport
of yours.
