Consider a newly created electron,its static E-field expanding out?

to fill space at the speed of light. If,an undulation in the field were to occur,it would propagate outward from the electron at "C",however it could never catch up to its expanding static fields wavefront and thus propagate past it,





Can it be proven that a moving field diversion can exist in a region of space where no E-field has ever existed?





if so,would that imply that ALL photon locomotion requires the presence,however feeble,of a static electric field in order to propogate thru,or "on". ,think in terms of the curving wave on a


rope. this would also imply that a region of space that was devoid of ANY e-field would be completely dark and incapable of transmitting light or any other electromagnetic energy. .

You need to take a course in electromagnetics. In the first place, it would take a static electron to generate a static e-field. But electrons aren't static and -any- small field will accelerate them rapidly (owing to their small mass).





Secondly, photons are -not- electrons so trying to compare them is kinda like talking about apples and oranges. In particular, photons don't really pay a lot of attention to either electric -or- magnetic fields.
