Do you believe that electromagnetic energy originating many trillions of miles from Earth, propogates through space and is influenced by many factors before reaching Earth?
Do you believe there are factors of influence that no one on Earth has yet considered?
If the helix formed by the magnetic and electrical portions of the electromagnetic wave were to rotate (they often do), could the rotation be compared between two different observation locations and determine the varying phase difference (I'm not sure this would provide useful information)?
Does this provide information related to the amount of refraction the waveform/photon experienced while traveling through stellar dust (maybe, there is only a very weak logical relationship posed)? Instrumentation-wise, detecting electromagnetic wave rotation and phase differences is completely doable. Could refraction cause a phase change in rotation, I've never been told as such, but I have a feeling it does.
Would I spend more then a second on this if I didn't have faith in it's potential to yeild something useful?
By randomly spewing loosely related topics, a creative opportunity arises.
So I go check the internet for topics related to electromagnetic B-E rotation as it relates to refraction and see if anyone else has already done part of the research.
Electromagnetic Wave
I'm not interested enough to go beyond this point.
But the point is, there has to sometimes be a leap of faith to go beyond what you know and probe areas that you know nothing about to identify the relationships you suspect may be true.
