Radio Transmission

Radio waves were thought of as electromagnetic waves in an ether when they were first discovered back in 1887. However, even radio waves have been demonstrated to be photons, so there is no need for an ether to carry information through the universe.

Furthermore, there is no such thing as an electromagnetic wave in the Velcro model. There is electric force, carried by the neutrino, and the magnetic force carried by the photon. The fact that variations in the two forces tend to correlate is entirely due to the fact that charges in motion induce magnetic force into nearby photons, and magnetic force can induce electric charge into wires if pulsed or otherwise changed.

The way a radio transmitter works is that an alternating current is sent up and down a wire. This is the transmitting antenna.

The alternating current polarize any photon hitting it, so that photons leave the antenna with whatever magnetic footprint the current gave them at the moment of impact. If the current is going up the antenna, photons will be sent off spinning one way. If the current is going down the antenna, photons are sent off spinning the other way.

The polarized photons rush off in all directions at the speed of light. If an antenna is designed in a certain manner, the polarized photons can be directed and focused. The particular design chosen for an antenna depends on whether a signal is to be broadcast to the world, or communicated directly from one point to another. However, this is besides the point. What should be noted is that radio signals are nothing more than polarized low energy photons.

When some of these photons hit a receiving antenna at a distance, they induce electricity into it. How this happens is covered in the chapter on induction of current into a copper wire.

Radio transmission.

The received current is very weak, so it must be amplified in order to produce a useful signal. However, this is also beside the point. What is significant is that the creation, transmission and reception of a radio signal is fully explained by the Velcro model. There is nothing mysterious going on. It is all quite simple and straight forward.

What should be noted is that the above described transmission cannot work unless the photons crossing the space between the transmitter and the receiver carry some energy with them.

This is because electrons have inertia. It takes energy together with spin to put them into motion.

Since zero-point photons carry no energy, we know that the photons used in radio transmission cannot be zero-point photons. They have to be larger. The transmitting antenna does not only set zero-point photons spinning, it pumps them up in size too.
