Hi folks, I just realized I haven’t posted for a while, but there’s a good reason — I’m in the final month of finishing up a new textbook, which is due on August 15, so all of my writing energy is going there! Once that gets finished, I will get back to a more consistent blogging schedule. I might drop a couple of short posts before then, depending on my mood.

Skulls in the Stars 
Hello, I see you are active. I am busy designing a model of light. Hertz schematic of E:M phase shows nodes of either E or B in the center of the other’s anti-node. Seemingly a cosine. All others present a standard, where E and B are orthogonal but rising and decaying together and usually switching dimensions every other cycle, supposedly flopping back and forth. How can I find the true phases of light as they are supposed at this time? -Sorry for the awkward introduction. Robert Cole yakiba@sho-shin.com
