…What I want to know is, what makes you think that the fields are still there. The incoming mass is gone. The incoming charges are gone. I do not want to argue about the permanence or dissipation of gravitational fields because such has not been the subject of science experiments.{Insinuation that very well confirmed theory is false in a case where not possible to test directly}
However, electric and magnetic fields have been the subject of such experiments, both on an amateur basis and a professional basis. When the charge or the magnet is removed from a certain location, we quickly discover that the field is gone too.{reduced in strength, not “gone”} In this respect, reminding you of the Quantum Physics explanation of electric and magnetic force as the exchange of virtual photons{Insinuation that well confirmed theory is false}…
The virtual photons are the field lines,{As I explained and demonstrated in post 26, field lines do not exist, even “virtually,” but are simply a mathematical convenience that can be developed for ANY continuous vector field, such as water flow in a river}
Maxwell's equations do not tell us anything about a rotating field. The equations tell us that a time-varying electric field induces a magnetic field, and that a time-varying magnetic field induces an electric field. As I may have said before, when you were not listening, the science experiments of Faraday, Cramp/Norgrove, and others have proved that a magnetic field cannot be made to rotate or take on take on linear motion of its source. This means that the virtual photons comprising the field do not take on the motion of their source, which I hope is not a surprise. If "magnetic" virtual photons do not take on the motion of their source, it is perfectly reasonable that "electric" virtual photons don't either, {Maxwell’s equation do cover electrostatics also. Are not limited to time varing. Just set all of the time dirivative in them to zero and you have the equations of electrostatics. ANY SET OF EQUATIONS can be transformed into a rotating frame, including Maxwell's - you are so ill informed / ignorant I should have mercy and stop, but as you called me names, I will continue.}
The peer reviewed science experiments referenced here prove that the field lines of a moving source are immediately left behind and immediately dissipate. If you can explain how virtual photons can live longer than the statistically very short lifetime theorized for them, I will be eager to read it. {The electric force is achieved by a CONTINUOUS exchange of “virtual photons.” They “live” for whatever the transit time between the two charged particles is. They are “emitted by one” and “absorbed by the other“, as I understand it, but admit to not being very knowledgeable here (but much more than you) as this math was developed after I got Ph.D. in Physics 40+ years ago. I believe this math and POV is the result of the successful integration of three of the four forces of nature into one very successful model. I suspect you are confusing the very short life times of the virtual pairs the quantum uncertainity does permit with the virtual exchange of longer lived photons as the "AGENTS" of the the EM force. - your read enough and do write well enough about physics to make you very dangerous to those just begining in the field, such as Singularity, Bubber etc.}
