we'll be needing this soon!
To retain causality, we must distinguish two distinct meanings of the term ‘static’. One meaning is unchanging in the sense of no moving parts. The other meaning is sameness from moment to moment by continual replacement of all moving parts. We can visualize this difference by thinking of a waterfall. A frozen waterfall is static in the first sense, and a flowing waterfall is static in the second sense. Both are essentially the same at every moment, yet the latter has moving parts capable of transferring momentum, and is made of entities that propagate. …So are … fields for a rigid, stationary source frozen, or are they continually regenerated? Causality seems to require the latter.” (Van Flandern, 1998, p. 8-9).
The fields and potentials represent continuous flows of EM energy (real observable photons) emitted at light speed from their associated source charges. The emitted photons continually establish and replenish these EM energy flows—and the resulting associated fields and potentials—at light speed. This continuous outflow of spreading observable real EM energy (observable photons) from any charge or dipolarity is easily measured experimentally, as is the fact that no observable energy input is provided to the source charge in this process.
This leads to the long-vexing source charge problem—solved by the present author and published in 2000 and subsequently (Bearden, 2000, 2002). The source charge problem has been pointed out but not solved by a number of physicists. E.g., Sen states:
"The connection between the field and its source has always been and still is the most difficult problem in classical and quantum electrodynamics." (Sen, 1968,
