John: I think you will find that many regular contributors on this list are of the same mind, in that they consider as a real possibility the existence of some kind of aether. There are numerous alternative aether-based hypotheses, but the mainstream scientific community doesn't have much interest in them... I have subscribed to a journal called 'Galilean Electrodynamics' for over 15 years, and they have published numerous such articles. Perhaps you should consider submitting an article to them for publication... they focus on experimental papers that contradict relativity theory, but are happy to publish theoretical papers as well. Part of my motivation for posting the original question as to the perpendicularity of E & M fields, is to stimulate a little out of the box thinking, as the vast majority of postings since Jan 14 have been Rossi-related or debating a pathological skeptic who speaks in generalities and doesn't have the guts to use his real name... -Mark

Ok, as you might guess from my email address I very much disagree that the aether was proven false, nothing of the sort. Only a static Aether was found to have evidence against it. Secondly if you still want to know why Electric and Magnetic fields are perpendicular in an EM wave etc... then you are ignoring the fact that I have already essentially proven that magnetic fields are non-existant and only a convenient was to understand how relativistically distorted electric fields manifest. So it is like asking why I am perpendicular to that dark guy lying on the floor where I am standing by a light at night, how come we are always perpendicular when I am standing on the floor. If I have told you that it just looks like a man but it is just my shadow do you really need to keep on being curious when you now understand precisely how it comes to be that way? I can show you every example where magnetic forces arise are due to electric fields/forces that are distorted by movement that creates precisely the same force we expect and get magnetically. Quite a co-incidence. If you choose to ignore the simple logical truth that makes sense then it is likely you are really just practicing mysticism, and IMO there are plenty of real mysteries to work out, no need to create them where none exists. Electrons spin and orbit, Nucleus's spin, and distort their electric fields doing so and should create the forces that we experience with permanent magnets. Wires attract and repel in theory as experienced.
