| I see. Standing dephased pi/2.

Of course... the magnetic field cannot be zero at the same
time as the electric field or energy would not be conserved.
E = -dB/dt



| Does not accomodate real physical quantum localization.

"If the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts." - Einstein.
I don't care about your real physical quantum localization, that
means nothing. Energy is conserved.



| In the 3-spaces model, the dephasing is 180 and 2 orthogonal

| orthogonal space (normal space) harbor the directed energy
| sustaining the motion of the oscillating half.

Then your model is wrong.

We certainly do differ, I have no idea what "relativistic Newtonian" is.
In the real world I can spin a top while sitting in my chair, but I
certainly have enough energy to travel alongside it as it goes around
the Sun.

| In the underlying 3-spaces model, the energy is not relative
| but has physical existence. The energy of the speeding bullet
| does not diminish as your own increases to catch up with it.

A brick on a shelf has enough energy to break your toe, but
not if you happen to be in the attic with the shelf below you.
Energy is relative.

| In the 3-spaces model, this is because its velocity sustaining
| energy also falls to 1

KE = 1/2mv^2, v is relative, hence energy is relative.
More correctly, KE = 1/2mv^2.cos(phi).
A bullet traveling away from you can do no work on
your body and is therefore harmless. cos(pi) = -1
To reverse the bullet, first you must stop it, absorbing its
energy in (say) compressing a spring, and then give it back.

The energy of the cordite is converted to the KE of the bullet,
converted again to compress the spring and then converted
back into the KE of the bullet which is then absorbed as
heat tearing in hole in you.

| For photons, acceleration only increases the total quantum

| is c.

Acceleration is rate of change of velocity by definition.
Only in crackpot relativity does light travel at 2AB/(t'A-tA) = c,
both ways at once.

Right. My bad.
