>>14241762The warping of space, and its affect on the electromagnetic field, brought me to an electrodynamics perhaps less taught. Its commonly taught as longitudinal waves with sound, and transverse waves with light, to hear of a transverse sound wave or a longitudinal light wave is perhaps less common. But alas, this theory, with the many dimensional warping, introduces both longitudinal and transverse stresses on the em field, longitudinally and transversely polarised E and B. This area is littered by many names, none the which include scalar waves, longitudinal EMF, radiant energy, non-hertzian waveforms, gradient-driven currents, charge density waves. All of them slightly different in their own right and a story to tell on these phenomenon.

The nature of the Magnetic vector potential (that A field that one can swap in as a mathematical convenience instead of B) and its critical role in the longitudinal wave, is gauged away.

The answer lay in, a chemistry that was not covered in my undergrad, the Bohm-Aharonov effect, and within it lays out an interest principle that i believe is still a cause for debate, the primacy of the potentials that psi and A are more 'real' than E and B
