[QUOTE="jbriggs444, post: 6076000, member: 422467"] You seem to want a mechanical explanation for electromagnetism in terms of inertia and elasticity. There is not one. There is no mechanical fabric of space time with inertia and elasticity in the first place. That's just a crude metaphor. Electromagnetism is not explained in terms of such a fabric anyway. More generally in physics there is no mechanical explanation for anything. Mathematical models are as good as it gets. Quantum electrodynamics is the most fundamental model we have for electromagnetism. It operates on an assumed background of Minkowski geometry. [/QUOTE]
