Hello,
We read very often that wave propagation électro-magnetism is the result of an interaction between electric field and magnetic field.
However, Maxwell's equations are not causal.
These equations have no delay between electric field and magnetic field, they simply pose relations between the two fields, which can be read both in one direction than the other, or as a single equalities.
Nothing in Maxwell's equations imply causality, an "induction" of a field by the other..
Why this interpretation ?
