A New Way to Look at Electromagnetism: Stress in the Vacuum
Standard electromagnetics says the important things are electric and magnetic fields. Potential is treated as a math tool: you take its gradient and get the “real” fields. This model flips the emphasis. The scalar potential is not just a convenience. It is a physical measure of how “stressed” the vacuum is at a point in spacetime. Voltage is not “potential at a point”; it is a difference in that stress between two points over some time, and only those differences can do work. So: – Scalar potential at one point is how hard the vacuum is “pressing” there. – Voltage between points is how much that pressure differs, and that is what pushes charges around. Once you treat potential as real vacuum stress, you can imagine waves of stress that travel through the vacuum, even before any ordinary electric or magnetic field appears. Call those scalar stress waves. SCALAR INTERFEROMETRY: HOW STRESS MAKES FIELDS Any vector field can be built from scalar functions. That is standard mathematics. This...
