I (the OP) did not like the idea of antennas because they do not represent correctly the issue I am asking and additionally they also complicate things. You used the antenna and its fields to explain why the EM radiation propagate. I suggested to use just one atom in empty space to discard any...

You are defining them as waves because they propagate. I am asking why they propagate in the first place. Your answer is just turning upside down the issue without really giving any meaningful way out.

Correct me if I am wrong, but the mainstream dominating thinking in Quantum Mechanics (QM) since the 1930s is the Copenhagen Interpretation (CI) conceived mainly by Niels Bohr. The non-causality of quantum effects is the heart in the CI. But since then (and even simultaneously with the CI)...

Precisely ! You got it almost perfectly. Kudos. I think I have phrased my original question clearly and then also repeated it in different forms very clearly in my later posts. So I don't know why some complicate my question unnecessarily. I agree that perhaps the answer to my question...

Thanks for trying to resolve my question. But I must say you are focusing upon various famous quantum enigmas which are not the issue of my question. It doesn't matter in my question how precisely the electromagnetic wave gets created, it doesn't matter in my question the wave-particle...

Thanks for your reply. Please let's leave antennas aside. Let's take just 1 atom in which an electron suddenly jumps to a lower orbiting level and so emits a photon (1 packet [quanta] of alternating electric and magnetic fields). There are no other currents or fields near this atom. So this...

Thanks a lot to ALL for their replies. I find now just one reply by 'sophiecentaur' that is somewhat on the same track of my question's intention. But I need to discuss more with 'sophiecentaur' about his reply.

I think your claim is wrong. That's precisely the kind of question Newton is assumed to ask himself. And this question led him to formulate the Gravitation concept and theory. Asking question about things looking "obvious" is the root for real breakthroughs.

I know that the electromagnetic waves are alternating electric and magnetic fields. But I don't get why the fields can't stand still and alternate at the same point. Why they always move ?? I would prefer a logical and verbal answer rather than a mathematical answer. But if mathematics helps...

Physics is one of my most favorite topics, particularly Theoretical Physics. I have no formal education in Physics but I read quite a bit Physics material and also some Physics books. I have B.Sc. in Materials Science and Engineering. I like to discuss advanced physics ideas logically and...
