TFNR - Waves
Waves are InfoStructures, of the class: Structures of Propagation.
Structures of Propagation are Structures of Information in which the Action of the Operator Propagation prevails.
For the Waves the main Mode / Component in which Elementary Action manifests itself is Translation.
They are dynamical structures, in the sense that Motion is their main feature.
These are structures that mainly express Action as vectors /carriers of Information, of Energy, in terms of mainstream physics, vectors of (derived) forces. They carry out exchanges of Information, of Energy between Vortices, Structures of Conservation, relations / interactions between vortex structures.
Here we find the gravitational waves (invisible / dark sector) and electromagnetic waves (visible / ordinary sector),
They are the essence of Radiation, the radiative aspect of Physical Reality. These structures have no Mass (only Motion, Charge and Spin), so they propagate in the Elementary Field at the maximum allowed speed (c, the so called "speed of light in the vacuum").
Radiation comprehend two kind of phenomena:
- electromagnetic radiation (visible radiation): this subclass of wave structures does not propagate mass, but only charge and spin. The fundamental undulatory representation of the "photon" is a wave structure that can be also seen like a particle (but not a vortex) in relation to its space time localization, shape (only one period of oscillation, resulting from a movement of a vortex structure in the space time field, with an initial acceleration and a final deceleration) and quantized energy amount (related to the quantity of Action that constitutes the Structure, in the terms of the correlation of the microstates that participate of its existence). Under the name "radiation" we cannot include the phenomena of the emission / propagation / absorption of massive particles, that is commonly named radiation, but represent a different phenomenon, connected to the dynamics, the motion, of ordinary matter particles (Vortices and Interactions). Its particle counterpart / representation is called "photon",
- gravitational waves (dark radiation): they propagate mass, and, as stated by the Equivalence Principle, space time curvature, gradient in the Elementary Field temperature, difference in speed of light / velocity of propagation of Information in the Field, or, at the end, difference in the distribution of the elementary fluctuations of the Field (intensity of the Elementary Action). Most likely, we don’t think that gravitational waves can propagate charge and spin.
The shapes of waves (one cycle and multiple cycles waves)
In the field of Electromagnetic Phenomena, it is of utmost importance a correct distinction between structures formed by a single cycle, manifestations of a single phenomenon, from those formed by several cycles, wave trains, manifestations of a periodic phenomenon. This distinction helps to clarify the quantum weirdness of wave-particle duality, so well represented by the double-slit experiment and many other puzzling physical phenomena.
In the common scientific view of light quanta and electromagnetic radiation there is an important misunderstanding that takes us away from the correct understanding and description of shape of waves, and leads to the problem of wave-particle dualism. For a correct representation in spatio-temporal terms (geometric) of electromagnetic radiation (electromagnetic wave / photon) is fundamental the difference between single wave (what is commonly called photon), a structure of information that can be located in space and time, obviously within the limits provided by the Uncertainty Principle, and a wave train (what is commonly called electromagnetic wave, eg coherent photons emitted by a laser, radio electromagnetic emission, continuous oscillation).
