I'm afraid that so far that link only adds to my confusion, although I will read it very deeply later, for now all I get from that link is that I am not real, I am only a mathematical construct. Considering how long we have known about magnetic fields, I am surprised that we know so little of...

And another question... If the photon is the mediator of EM, then how does that apply to permanent magnets... again, I thought this is where the electron plays the mediator role. Hugo

Thanks Go1 I can (almost) understand how the photon is the mediator particle for EM up in the IR, visible and upwards parts of the spectrum, but I'm confused how this applies down in the radio spectrum and lower in the LF and ELF regions, that's why I assumed it was the electron as the...

Please excuse this non-student from asking simple questions, but I'm hoping you won't mind helping me to understand things a little better. I've read articles in magazines, New Scientist for example, of the search for gravitons, these being the supposed particle that mediate the force of...
