And Rife's Great Secret [1]

Foreword

In the 1930s and 1940s, Royal Raymond Rife {1} made revolutionary discoveries in microscopy, including development of novel microscopes that could see far beyond the accustomed one-tenth wavelength limitation according to Rayleigh theory.  With his microscope, he was able to "see" ultramicroscopic living forms much smaller than anything considered in the observable state.  It would appear that his microscope was somehow capable of peering directly into the virtual state itself, and finding living forms at that level that were far beyond anything ever suspected by conventional science, even to this day.

Obviously this work was dramatically controversial.  Rife went on to develop treatment methods and devices based on the new level of living organisms that his microscope revealed.  In short, he arrived at essentially a new theory of disease, and did achieve success with his—to conventional scientists—completely unprecedented devices and methods of treating and healing.  While we do not discuss his treatment methods in this paper, we do discuss the methods of Prioré, whom we believe to have used similar principles.  So these discussions may shed some light on Rife's therapeutic mechanisms also.

Rife and others reported his results in the proper scientific literature.  For his efforts, he was ostracized, essentially imprisoned in a medical treatment facility, broken, and rejected by his peers.  His findings were harshly ridiculed and discredited.  Finally escaping from his enforced confinement, Rife lived out his remaining years and died quietly and unknown.

In the present paper it is not our purpose to address Rife's theory of disease or his treatment devices and methods.  It is solely our purpose to propose a higher symmetry electrodynamics functioning of his microscope, as one possible explanation of the startling microscopy results he achieved.  We will reveal what we are convinced is Rife's great secret: recursive virtual state magnification (amplification) by iterative difference frequency serial summation of vacuum engines.  This is a substantial change from an earlier mechanism proposed by the present author, which proved to be in error {1}.

We accent that this is not a "standard electrodynamics" examination of the Rife microscope; normal U(1) electrodynamics and transverse EM waves contain no mechanisms that can explain the functioning of the instrument.  Accordingly, since no such explanation is contained in the usual electrodynamics, one must of necessity turn to those available electrodynamics models that are of much higher symmetry than afforded by vector and tensor algebra.  To show the fit to experiments, we must also address an enormous amount of the work performed by Prioré and his colleagues.  Only in such EM models and their known fit to actual experiments are the additional phenomena and principles available that can possibly explain Rife's epochal results.

Also, because of the importance of this unified field theory area, we include substantial references and additional extended discussions in the endnotes for further technical clarification.  Thirty figures are added to illustrate the material.

The Rife Microscope

The Rife microscope { [1] } (Figure 1) cannot be made to work by normal optical principles at the level utilized by Rife.  With normal optics, about one-tenth wavelength is as fine an optical resolution as one can get.  Since Rife went far beyond that, it should be obvious that he was using optics and electrodynamics of a novel kind, and of a type not yet in the conventional textbook.

            We believe we are aware of the major principles used in Rife’s microscope, or at least some of them, but prior to 1998 we shied away from anything to do with the scope.  My major interests have been in extracting EM energy from the vacuum and in developing a new kind of medical therapy utilizing higher symmetry electrodynamics—and thus unified field theory—to directly and slowly change cellular disease or disorder back to a normal previous state.  Obviously, if one is to produce a microscope that "sees" optically further into the realm of smallness than any other microscope can conventionally do (even in theory), that microscope must be functioning in a higher electrodynamics mode rather than in the conventional one.

In this paper, we will try to summarize some deep physics principles underlying the Rife microscope, at least as we see them terms of a higher symmetry EM model, and we cite some references for the bits and pieces.  A more detailed explanation must wait for a future time and assistance from very high-level theorists.

Introduction

A good hint is this: Rife (Figure 2) often painfully adjusted his microscope stages for up to 24 hours before he finally got the instrument "focused."  Immediately that shows it is not standard optical equipment.  Well-made standard optics—and Rife’s microscope was beautifully made—can be adjusted far more easily than that (in minutes!).

So far as we are aware, no one ever looked at the Rife work except through essentially rather orthodox electrodynamics and rather orthodox optics eyes.  Normal optical theory permits resolution of about one tenth of the wavelength of the light used, and a few microscopes in the last few years have gone just a wee bit further.  But none have gone anywhere to the degree of smallness that Rife reported.

 In our view, the orthodox approach to explaining the operation of Rife's microscope is doomed to fail from the beginning.  Even a very good scientist will fail with replication, if that approach is exclusively taken.  An entire scientific team and substantial funding will not do any better, unless something technically deeper is understood and tackled from the outset.  We give an overview of our approach to tackling that problem.  To begin with, we must present some errors in electrodynamics and an omission in general relativity, so that we can develop the necessary background.  The discussion is not simple and will require considerable development.  Once the considerable background is developed, the application to the Rife microscope will be straightforward.

Errors in Electrodynamics and Adjustments to General Relativity

First, present electrodynamics itself has serious flaws and shortcomings, and needs substantial revision {[2] }.  As foundations scientist Bunge points out {[3]}:

"...it is not usually acknowledged that electrodynamics, both classical and quantal, are in a sad state.

Bunge {[4] } also said:

"... the best modern physicist is the one who acknowledges that neither classical nor quantum physics are cut and dried, both being full of holes and in need of a vigorous overhauling not only to better cover their own domains but also to join smoothly so as to produce a coherent picture of the various levels of physical reality."

The flaws in electrodynamics pass over into what has been constructed for optical theory—both linear and nonlinear—which just assumes the electrodynamics as a subset.

For our purpose, we need to clarify what modern electrodynamics does and does not say about the massless vacuum, and about the state and form of EM entities—such as potentials, fields, and waves—created in it (in empty space) by matter dynamics, or acting from it (from empty space) onto matter and causing matter dynamics.

Maxwell and all his peers believed firmly in the material ether, a thin material fluid filling all space and every crevice.  To scientists at the time, not one single point in the universe was devoid of this material etheric fluid—this thin matter.  The atom had not been discovered, the electron had not been discovered, and electricity was also considered a thin material fluid.  Charge had no more meaning than “a piece of the electric fluid,” much like a cubic centimeter of water.

Faraday {[5] } believed that the EM influence in space consisted of material lines of force which acted as taut strings under tension from some mysterious source.  He believed that EM disturbances were just the transverse wave “perturbations” of these taut strings.  In his concept, Faraday omitted the string holder or other agent producing the tensile forces upon the string (Figure 3).  He thus omitted Newton’s third law from his electrodynamics concept.  He also omitted precisely half the energy, by omitting the equal-energy time-reversed EM wave that accompanies the formation of every ordinary EM wave we take account of.  In a receiving copper wire antenna, for example, not only do the electrons interact with the incoming fields, but so do the protons in the nuclei—though highly damped in amplitude by the proton's large mass with respect to the mass of a disturbed Drude electron.  However, the two energetic interactions (of perturbed protons and perturbed electrons) are of equal energy magnitude.  So in the conductor, equal energy is expended to move the "lattice holes" (positrons) as is used to move the Drude electrons, else field theory itself is falsified.  Except in semiconductors, electrical engineers mostly just ignore the "disturbed lattice hole current" energy.

Maxwell deliberately captured Faraday’s thinking, mathematically {[6] }, and so just assumed Faraday’s lines of force and the “plucked tight string” transverse EM wave in the material ether {[7] } as well as the unexplained tension .  The notion of the transverse EM wave in vacuum has essentially no other theoretical justification than that Faraday-Maxwell assumption and the observed "transverse waves" generated in the receiving "electric fluid in the conductor" in and on the Drude electrons.  The transverse EM wave notion in vacuum was maintained only by discarding its missing antiwave that is always formed simultaneously in our transmitters and receivers (e.g., when we perturb the Drude electrons in a transmitting wire antenna, we also perturb the protons in the nuclei with the same energy.  The two disturbances—proton disturbance in the nucleus and Drude electron disturbance in the Drude electron gas—perturb the local surrounding vacuum/spacetime with equal energy, so in the vacuum "virtual particle flux gas" the two perturbations are energetically equal. The receiving wire receives both perturbation waves from the vacuum; one perturbs the electrons and the other perturbs the nuclei.  Since the second wave is unaccounted, the perturbation of the nuclei is just considered a "mysterious force" that always appears.  In a pumped phase conjugate mirror material, e.g., we interact the waves prior to their reaching the nuclei, by multi-wave mixing.  Since the "causative" but neglected second wave coming in from space does not reach the nuclei, but are redirected to form the phase conjugate replica wave produced by the pumping, the mirror does not recoil and it does not exhibit Newtonian third law reaction. However, since electrodynamics omits the EM causative wave that generates Newton’s third law forces in the receiver, which in normal detection always appear, then presently electrodynamic fields are erroneously said to be devoid of Newton's third law reaction.  To the contrary, the effects of that hidden, neglected EM cause of the Newtonian third law reaction do appear, either as recoil of the physical receiving antenna or as the production of the time-reverse phase conjugate replica wave in optical pumping.  But in standard electrodynamics, equal-and-opposite forces in the receiving antenna are assumed to arise "mystically” or from some hidden electrodynamic demon.  The electrodynamic cause of Newton's third law has been lost since Maxwell wrote his theory.

Maxwell, however, was careful to point out the ad hoc nature of assuming the stress in the vacuum, and that no mechanism for it had been discovered, nor was such a mechanism contained in his theory.  Specifically, Maxwell said {[8] }:

“It must be carefully borne in mind that we have made only one step in the theory of the action of the medium.  We have supposed it to be in a state of stress, but we have not in any way accounted for this stress, or explained how it is maintained.  This step, however, seems to me to be an important one, as it explains, by the action of the consecutive parts of the medium, phenomena which were formerly supposed to be explicable only by direct action at a distance. … I have not been able to make the next step, namely, to account by mechanical considerations for these stresses in the dielectric.  I therefore leave the theory at this point, merely stating what are the other parts of the phenomenon of induction in dielectrics.” 

Indeed, we now know of electrons and their spin.  The longitudinally-constrained, spinning Drude electrons in receiving wires will gyroprecess laterally in the wire when an EM disturbance from the vacuum interacts with them.  (Figure 4)  It is well-known that these Drude electrons are highly restrained longitudinally down the wire; the longitudinal movement is the "drift" velocity and may be nominally only a few inches per hour.  The lateral precession of the longitudinally constrained, spinning Drude electrons establishes that the incoming vacuum disturbance, before its interaction with the gyroelectrons, is longitudinal.  Else one must discard electron spin, electron gyroprecession, and indeed the theory of gyroscopic precession itself.  In our view, the EM wave in vacuum is longitudinal, always has been, and always will be {[9] }.  It also does not consist of EM force fields, contrary to present classical theory.  Instead, only the potentiality {[10]} for the transverse force fields—should the longitudinally perturbed vacuum EM entity be intercepted by a spinning charged particle and interact with it—exists in mass-free space, as pointed out by Feynman.  Quoting Feynman again {[11] }:

.  "We may think of E(x, y, z, t) and B(x, y, z, t) as giving the forces that would be experienced at the time t by a charge located at (x, y, z), with the condition that placing the charge there did not disturb the positions or motion of all the other charges responsible for the fields." 

Rigorously the force fields exist only in and of matter.  In matter-free space, there is no force at all in what we call the "field as it exists in massfree space" {[12] }.  E.g., Jackson states it this way {[13]}:

"Most classical electrodynamicists continue to adhere to the notion that the EM force field exists as such in the vacuum, but do admit that physically measurable quantities such as force somehow involve the product of charge and field."

But again, Jackson also states {[14] }:

"...the thing that eventually gets measured is a force..."  "At the moment, the electric field can be defined as the force per unit charge acting at a given point.  It is a vector function of position, denoted by E.  One must be careful in its definition, however.  It is not necessarily the force that one would observe by placing one unit of charge on a pith ball and placing it in position.  The reason is that one unit of charge may be so large that its presence alters appreciably the field configuration of the array.  Consequently one must use a limiting process whereby the ratio of the force on the small test body to the charge on it is measured for smaller and smaller amounts of charge.  Experimentally, this ratio and the direction of the force will become constant as the amount of test charge is made smaller and smaller.  These limiting values of magnitude and direction define the magnitude and direction of the electric field E at the point in question.  In symbols we may write F = qE  where F is the force, E the electric field, and q the charge.  In this equation it is assumed that the charge q is located at a point, and the force and the electric field are evaluated at that point."

As can be seen, much of the difficulty occurs because physicists continue to erroneously utilize an equation as if it were a definition.  An equation defines nothing at all; it merely states that all the "things on the left"  of the equality sign and all the "things on the right" have the same overall magnitudes.  It does not define any of the things on the left or right, and so it tells us nothing at all about what anything in it really is.  A definition requires an identity, not an equality.  E.g., if we take as an identity the very equation advanced by Jackson's explanation above, we then have a definition:

            F º qE => E º F/q

And now  that identity clearly states that charged mass is a component of the E-field.  Similar argument prevails for the B-field, etc.

The identity also shows that E is not the magnitude of the force field at all, but is its local intensity at any given point in the E field, in terms of force per unit point static coulomb—a force formed in, on, and of the charged mass of the coulomb.  The misstatement that E represents the magnitude of the field is another great non sequitur.  No textbook gives the calculation of the magnitude of the E-field, though all purport to.  Instead, they all give the calculation of the intensity of the E-field at each point in it.  There is a great difference between the magnitude of an automobile's mounted tire and its pressure per sq. inch on the pavement.  In all fairness, some of the better texts do use the term "field intensity", at least occasionally.

 As defined, the EM force fields are effects produced in, on, and of charged matter and only in, on, and of charged matter.  They are not at all the same effects produced in matter-free space (in the vacuum/spacetime).  The EM force field (in matter) is not the same as the "massfree" E-field in massfree spacetime.  Ultimately, all that exists in spacetime are spacetime and changes to spacetime. 

We may accurately take the mass-free, force-free EM field to be a pattern of spacetime curvatures.  The coupling of this spacetime curvature set, or any part of it, with charged mass, then constitutes an EM force field.  Again, the problem is the hoary old mechanics notion of having a separate massless force acting upon a separate mass.  No such thing exists in all nature, and mechanics should have been rather thoroughly overhauled long ago as a result of this horrendous foundations of mechanics error that is centuries old.

In present classical electrodynamics—certainly the kind taught to electrical engineers and used in the electrical engineering discipline—the EM potential {[15] }, field, and wave, as they truly exist in space and in the vacuum, are rigorously not prescribed at all.  Instead, the effect of the "causal entity" as it exists in vacuum prior to interaction with charged mass, is used a if it were what exists in and on the charged mass as the effect of the interaction.  (See Figure 5, Figure 6, and Figure 7).  This substitution of the effect for the cause is arguably the greatest uncorrected error in classical electrodynamics today.  It is a hangover from the old days of the material ether, and the refusal to change the Maxwell-Heaviside equations to eliminate that material ether assumption, once the Michelson-Morley experiments falsified it.  This has long been known to foundations physicists, and to most of the better electrodynamicists as well.  But it still seems to be known to very few electrical engineers!

Many attempts have been made to “modify” the standard classical electrodynamics theory, but most have failed.  For some reason, most of these attempted modifications seem to have accepted the present “matter-to-matter transform” approach (Figure 8) of present electrodynamics, failing to see that the two missing transforms of matter-to-spacetime and spacetime-to-matter (Figure 9) are in fact just general relativity itself {[16] , [17] }  The solution for adding the missing two transforms into electrodynamics therefore may lie in “infolding” general relativity directly within electrodynamics, rather than placing the two on an equal footing.  That requires the analysis of the supersystem rather than the system, a concept which will be discussed shortly.  Figure 10 shows the utilization of the "vacuum engine" that results from this "infolded GR" solution.

To our knowledge, the Sachs unified field theory {[18] a,b,c,d,e} is presently the only practical unified field theory that can be directly engineered by higher symmetry electrodynamics, such as the O(3) group symmetry EM model advanced by Evans and Vigier and perfected by Evans {[19] }.  The engineering power of Sachs' theory is remarkable {[20] }, and the O(3) electrodynamics has been shown by Evans to be an important subset of the unified electrodynamics in Sachs' theory.

Let us examine that statement a little deeper.

In classical electrodynamics the sources of all EM potentials, fields, waves, and their energies are assumed to be the charges—which are assumed to somehow act as perpetual motion machines that continuously create and pour out all that EM energy in the fields and potentials associated with the charge as their "source".  This outpouring of 3-space energy comprising and establishing the associated potentials and fields eventually fills all space with energy.  All the charges and dipoles present in the universe since shortly after its formation have done this for some 14 billion years. 

Yet in classical EM—with all the existing charges in the universe implicitly assumed to continuously pour out energy into all of space, and most having done so for billions of years—inexplicably space is then considered to be an emptiness having no interactive energetic exchange with the charge at all {[21] }.  That of course is a non sequitur because it involves a total  contradiction of the conservation of energy law.   If there is no active energy in spacetime for the charged particle to receive and then output in 3-space, then the energy conservation is falsified by every charge and every dipole.

In particle physics the inactive vacuum concept is known to be quite wrong, else the charge creates energy from nothing.  That would violate the most sacrosanct law in physics: that energy can neither be created nor destroyed.  So electrodynamics—both classical and quantum, neither of which contains the solution to this source charge problem—is in gross violation of conservation of energy laws, because it assumes that the charge is solely the source of its associated fields and potentials and their energy { [22] } and that it accordingly creates all that energy it has poured out since the beginning of the universe.

Presently the electrical engineer implicitly assumes total violation of the conservation of energy law with every equation he writes, and is blissfully unaware of it.

Particle physicists, however, have done much better and published and incorporated their results, although inexplicably the mainstream electrodynamicists have not changed their own model accordingly.  Particle physicists have known and shown for more than 40 years that (i) space is a seething inferno of EM energy { [23]}, (ii) a charge continually undergoes a violent energy exchange (see Figure 11) with the vacuum EM flux.  That exchange is what a charged mass is doing, to make it a "charged mass"), and (iii) the charge is a broken symmetry in that violent energetic flux of the vacuum.  "Broken symmetry" means that the charge disrupts and alters part of that virtual particle flux to observable EM energy flux (see again Figures 5, 6. and 7).  The charge continually absorbs virtual energy from the vacuum, radiates some of that absorbed energy back to the vacuum in virtual form, but integrates and radiates the remainder in a flow of potentially observable energy—the energy flow discovered by Poynting {[24] } and Heaviside {[25] } after Maxwell was already deceased.

So what does the source charge really do?  It coheres, transduces, and gates some of its virtual energy {[26] } received from the vacuum, into an EM energy flow going out in all directions in 3-space from that source charge. Contrary to present electrodynamics, this energy flow is actually longitudinal and bidirectional {[27] , [28] , [29] , [30]}, with energy going out in 3-space from the charge to every point in the universe, and with energy coming from every point in the universe back to the charge through the time domain.  But as reinterpreted {22 b}, Whittaker {[31] } showed in 1903 that any such bidirectional EM flow of energy—reinterpreted with the input energy to the charge coming from the time-domain, and the output energy from the charge being emitted into 3-space, comprises a scalar potential.  This also agrees with quantum field theory {[32] }

See Figure 12.  As it really exists in space, a scalar potential is a harmonic set of bidirectional EM energy flows, with the "bidirectional" EM waves being outgoing EM waves in 3-space caused by interaction with the source charge or dipole of incoming time-polarized EM waves.  There is a set of outgoing EM longitudinal waves in 3-space, perfectly correlated with a set of incoming time-polarized EM waves in the time domain.  Hence one time-polarized EM "causal" wave couples with one outgoing longitudinal EM wave in 3-space.  It is this scalar EM wave coupling (combining) with longitudinal EM wave coupling, in a harmonic set of phase conjugate pairs, that constitutes the scalar EM potential.

In short, all EM energy in 3-space comes from the time domain.

After all, no observable persists continuously in time.  Any observable is a frozen 3-space momentary snapshot of an ongoing 4-space interaction.  It is the result of a d/dt operation imposed upon LLLT spacetime, to yield a momentary LLL by

d/dt(LLLT) => LLL

What we see as the "motion of an object in 3-space" is actually the ensemble of a  continual serial iteration of such "frozen 3-space snapshots" of each observable part of the object, much as the iterative frames of a movie film are seen as a continuously moving picture.

In Whittaker's bidirectional energy flow associated with the source charge, electrodynamicists—including Whittaker himself—assumed that a point positive coulomb of charge is located at each and every point in space.  (Figure 5, Figure 6, and Figure 7).  A tiny bit of the impinging EM energy flow “from” the distant source charge {[33] } is geometrically intercepted and diverted by the observing/detecting point charge to streamline around it, creating a “swirl around” of diverted energy flow.  As can be seen, only a tiny portion of the impinging and passing EM energy stream in 3-space is diverged into the swirl.  This is rather like a small diverted whirlpool of water forming around a stable rock in a flowing river.  In electrodynamics the amount of energy in that “diverged whirlpool” is said to be the “collected” energy appearing upon that point charge (upon that fixed rock).  That amount of energy swirled by the intercepting point coulomb at a given point in space, is then erroneously said to be the magnitude of the potential (the magnitude of the entire river).  It is no such thing.  The small fraction of the potential that is diverted from the potential's flowing rivers of energy, is not that the magnitude of that potential (the magnitude of the entire set of flowing rivers themselves!)    And it is certainly not “identically” the river itself!  At best it is a measure of the intensity of the potential (the local intensity of all those internal rivers of energy flow) at that point occupied by the intercepting/diverting rock.

The point is, as defined and used in conventional electrodynamics, the potential occurs only after the vacuum EM entity’s reaction with the intercepting mass, and is defined only as the effect produced upon that coulomb by the causative potential's interaction.  Literally, the potential (the cause) is erroneously defined as the “excitation” or “excess energy” it locally produces as an effect upon a unit point intercepting/collecting charge.

Ironically, it appears that no electrodynamicist calculates the magnitude of the actual potential as it exists in vacuum-spacetime, before its interaction with charge {[34], [35] }. Its magnitude is enormous, since the potential may extend over all space, and energy can be intercepted and collected by a charge placed at any point therein, or from charges placed at every point therein. 

Certainly no rigorous definition of the potential presently exists in physics; the reader is challenged to check for himself or herself.  No legitimate definition can exist for the potential, until the little matter is resolved of its present erroneous definition only "in and on and deviated by" charged matter, contradicted by the simultaneous assumption that it does exist in mass-free space in undeviated form.  What is deviated from the potential, is not the potential itself.  A part of something torn out of that something at one point in itself, is not the whole.  The local effect cannot be substituted for the entire nonlocal cause—only a small part of which interacts locally.

The EM force field is similarly defined—only for charge mass interception, and only as an effect produced upon the intercepting charge.  (See again Figures 5, 6, and 7.)  A flow of water across a rock (or the wind on a rock in the desert) produces a “pileup” of fluid on the windward side, and a lesser “pileup” on the downwind side.  The difference (called the “gradient”) in the energy density collected across the standard charge (rock) produces a “difference in pressure” on the rock—in other words, a force per interacting rock.  That effect is erroneously taken to be the EM field itself, when rigorously it is only the reaction cross section of the EM field.  Again, rigorously this EM field as defined in electrodynamics only exists as the effect that occurs upon an intercepting standard charge  or "rock" {[36]}.

Since the EM wave “in space” is erroneously said to be made of varying EM fields, it too is defined only as the effect upon the intercepting charged mass, after the vacuum EM wave entity—whatever it is—has interacted with the charge and changed the charge translationally and energetically.  Specifically, the present “EM wave in vacuum” in the literature is not at all what is presented and taught in undergraduate texts, and even the standard illustration of "oscillating E-field and B-field vectors" lateral to the line of motion of the wave is horribly wrong.  E.g.,  Dr. Robert Romer, former editor of American Journal of Physics, has taken that error to task as follows { [37] }:

"…that dreadful diagram purporting to show the electric and magnetic fields of a plane wave, as a function of position (and/or time?) that besmirch the pages of almost every introductory book. …it is a horrible diagram.  'Misleading' would be too kind a word; 'wrong' is more accurate."  "…perhaps then, for historical interest, [we should] find out how that diagram came to contaminate our literature in the first place."

 The EM field and wave as commonly regarded are transfer functions from the source charged masses that “perturbed the vacuum medium and created an unknown kind of disturbance therein”, onto the receiving charged masses that intercept the incoming “unknown vacuum wave entity that was created” and interact with it, being translated  and perturbed as a result. 

This “detected” translation of the receiving charged masses (usually the interacting Drude electrons in a wire) is what our instruments detect. Indeed, the Drude electrons are highly constrained from moving longitudinally down the wire, usually moving at only a few inches per hour.  They are much freer to move laterally, however, and can easily do so. 

Reacting with the incoming longitudinal EM wave perturbation of local spacetime, the spin of the electron produces gyroscopic precession laterally in the wire since the electron is terribly restrained in moving longitudinally down the wire.  Since our instruments detect these transverse electron precession waves, that has been totally confused (since Faraday's "plucked taut string" notion of the EM wave and Maxwell's arbitrary adoption of it) as representing the incoming wave in vacuum.  It does not represent the vacuum EM wave at all; the incoming wave is in fact a longitudinal EM wave in 3-space, associated with a precisely correlated longitudinal EM wave in the time-domain.

So we have answered Professor Romer's implied question.  That horrible diagram came from the assumption by early electrodynamicists, before discovery of the electron or atom or nucleus, that the "transverse electric fluid waves" in the receiving wires represented actual "intercepted" fluid perturbations arriving in the material ether medium.

In summary: Using a transmitter-receiver analysis, the so-called “EM wave in vacuum” as presently defined, actually represents that “detected and measured electron precession wave” in and of the reacting Drude electron gas in the distant receiving wire antenna.  The so-called EM force field wave in vacuum has been erroneously defined as observable matter wiggles, not vacuum virtual energy wiggles and not as spacetime-curvature changes and wiggles.  So even the present notion of the EM transverse wave in space is wrong, and it has been corrupted as a pure matter-to-matter transform from the beginning { [38] }.

Somewhat less technical explanations are given by Lindsay and Margenau { [39] }, and a rigorous statement and discussion that EM force fields exist only in charged matter is given by Aharonov and Bohm { [40] }.  Feynman of course said it bluntly:  Only the potential for the field exists in the vacuum, should one place a unit point charge there to allow the force field to be developed (on, of, and containing the source charge itself).

Let us summarize this terrible EM foundations flaw: As classical electrodynamics presently is modeled, Maxwell and his modern followers only include equations which are mass-to-mass transformations (Figure 8).  Specifically missing { [41] } are two other transforms: (i) the mass-to-vacuum (mass-to-spacetime) transformation (which obviously is general relativistic in nature), and (ii) the vacuum-to-mass (spacetime-to-mass) transformation (again, obviously general relativistic in nature).  (See again Figure 9).  When these two missing transforms are added back into electrodynamics, one has suddenly extended EM theory into a new domain.  One has also infolded general relativity (GR) inside the present EM matter-to-matter transforms, and also included the vacuum interaction including broken symmetry in that exchange, but in an electromagnetically engineerable manner.  In short, one has a practical, engineerable unified field theory.

Highly creative inventors such as Rife and Prioré intuitively developed apparatuses that unwittingly utilized this presently undeveloped and extended union of EM, particle physics vacuum theory, and GR.  The intuition of the theorists in interpreting those revolutionary experiments and their results has very seriously lagged.

The Supersystem Concept

            To understand how extraordinary systems such as Rife's microscope works, one must understand the concept of the supersystem.  (See Figure 13).  The supersystem consists of three components, which are (1) the physical system and its dynamics, (2) the local active vacuum and its dynamics, and (3) the local curvatures of spacetime and their dynamics.  All three components of the supersystem interact with one another, in nature.  The second and third components of the system constitute the active environment in which the system is embedded, and with which it interacts.

Unfortunately, in standard classical electrodynamics either the system's environment is assumed to be inert, or the system is assumed to be in equilibrium in its interaction with that environment.  This represents a totally arbitrary assumption that the system cannot receive and utilize any excess energy from its known active environment.  Hence the active vacuum's interaction with the system can be and is ignored by classical electromagnetics, as are the local curvatures of spacetime and their interactions with the system.

Extraordinary EM systems invariably involve the supersystem dynamics, and not just the system dynamics.  In nature, no system analysis is complete until the supersystem interactions and their effects have been determined and analyzed.

The Rife microscope is indeed an extraordinary system using non-negligible interactions between the system and the other two components of its supersystem.  Hence in our discussions, we will be examining interactions in that regime, and not just the standard electrodynamics analysis.  In these discussions, we will be holding in mind not just the mass-to-mass transforms of standard electrodynamics, but two other transforms: (1) the mass-to-vacuum/spacetime transform, and (2) the vacuum/spacetime to matter transform (previously shown in Figure 9).

The reason that Rife's work has not been understood is that researchers have been unaware of the necessity for supersystem analysis.  Almost all analyses of Rife's work have been merely standard classical EM analysis and thus quite insufficient.  There are other examples of the standard electrodynamics model completely failing to show higher symmetry phenomenology in an inventor's work, so that his work is not understood even today.  An example is provided by Tesla's patented circuits, as rigorously demonstrated by Barrett { [42] }.  Barrett went on to improve the new functions discovered in Tesla's patents, and obtained two additional patents related to signals and signal processing { [43] }.

Vacuum-Structurings as “Engines”: Key Part of the Missing Transforms

The missing mass-to-vacuum/spacetime transformation produces a massless structuring of the vacuum medium.  That is a vacuum engine or “multiplex of specific spacetime curvatures.”  (See Figure 14, Figure 15, Figure 16, Figure 17), and Figure 18.  Preparing the vacuum engine is accomplished by charged matter dynamics of the source charges producing the necessary potentials, fields and waves.  The charges are embedded in continual energetic exchange with the vacuum/spacetime, and moving the charges affects that exchange; it perturbs the local vacuum flux and curves the local spacetime accordingly.

The transform represents producing this vacuum engine by the vacuum-perturbing action of source charge dynamics upon the vacuum, and by not assuming a mystical intercepting point-charge at each point in space { [44] }.  In the vacuum/spacetime, only vacuum/spacetime entities and changes to them exist.  In pure water, only water and changes to that water exist!

So a precise dynamic structuring of the energetic vacuum (and spacetime geometry) is what charges produce when they “perturb” the vacuum medium { [45] }, by the presence or dynamics of their fields, longitudinal and time-polarized EM waves, or both.  This "perturbed vacuum dynamics" separate from the source charges themselves comprises an engine that consists of altered longitudinal EM wave dynamics inside the internal Whittaker structure { [46] } of the scalar potential of the ambient vacuum.  That is the same as also producing internested levels of spacetime curvatures in a template or specific pattern { [47] }.

In turn, this vacuum engine region of local curvatures and structurings in  spacetime will interact upon any mass placed therein.  That action is the missing electrodynamic vacuum-to-mass transform.

The missing electrodynamic vacuum-to-mass transformation produces direct changes and alterations in the “receiving” mass, at all levels, by the action of such a vacuum engine.  As each action occurs locally in the localized receiving mass, it produces the "local effect" as the result of that “local action.”  The primary causative chain (i.e., the set of “dominoes” affecting each other serially), started back at the distant source charges.  One can say that we therefore have mass-to-mass action at a distance, via the matter-to-vacuum and vacuum-to-mass intermediary transforms and the spatial and temporal propagation of the vacuum engines in the middle of the two { [48] }.  We will shortly discuss the Whittaker structuring of the potential as a fundamental process for producing vacuum engines.

General relativists mostly concentrate upon the warping and curving of spacetime (i.e., producing a vacuum engine) by the very weak gravitational force—which is only some 10-42 times as strong for electrons as the electric force between them.  Consequently, relativists must look to huge assemblages of mass, such as in stars and other astronomical objects, for sufficient gravitationally-induced spacetime curvature to produce easily observable results.  For that reason, general relativity has resisted laboratory development as an engineerable applied science.  By using the far stronger EM force as the agent of spacetime curvature, and including the infolded electrodynamics inside the potential, field, and wave, general relativity then becomes engineerable and usable.  But one is engineering the supersystem, not just the system.

The Infolded Electrodynamics Inside Potentials, Fields, and Waves

            As previously stated, in 1903 E. T. Whittaker, a well-known mathematical physicist, showed that a scalar potential can be mathematically decomposed into a set of peculiar EM wavepairs in a harmonic set.  (Again see Figure 12)  These “hidden waves” are longitudinal EM waves, arranged in conjugate pairs { [49] } with the pairs also arranged in a harmonic set.  In each wavepair, there is an ordinary (forward-time) longitudinal EM wave (outgoing in 3-space from the interacting/observing charge), coupled to its phase conjugate replica (time-reversed twin). 

And here lies a magic secret.  Prior to interacting with a charge, the phase conjugate wave in each wavepair is in the complex domain, which means that in Minkowski space it is incoming along the fourth axis, ict, where the only variable is t.  Hence this wave prior to interaction with charge does not even exist in 3-space.  Instead, it exists as a longitudinal EM wave incoming in time, so that it is a time-like flow of EM energy. (See Figure 19).  After interaction with a charge, the charge absorbs the incoming time-polarized EM wave, transduces that time-energy to 3-spatial energy, and re-emits the energy as longitudinal EM waves in 3-space in all directions.  "In all directions" means that for every outgoing longitudinal EM wave emitted in one direction in 3-space, another wave just like it also emitted in the other direction in 3-space.  So the paired "bidirectional" EM longitudinal EM waves in 3-space, as interpreted by Whittaker, do exist as the effect waves caused by the incoming causal time-like longitudinal EM waves (scalar EM waves).  The pairing of the causal time-polarized EM incoming wave with an outgoing effect longitudinal EM wave was not interpreted by Whittaker, but does agree with more modern quantum field theory interpretations of photon polarizations and their observability or non observability, by Mandl and Shaw {22b}.

We have corrected this "effect substituted for the cause" wave to reinterpret Whittaker's 1903 decomposition of the scalar potential, into combined biwaves where one of the biwaves is incoming in the time domain, and the other is outgoing in 3-space.  That re-interpretation then allowed a solution {22a} to the problem of the source charge and its associated fields and potentials, together with their energy.  Every source charge and source dipole continuously emits EM energy in 3-space, without any 3-spatial EM energy input.  The input is there, but in the time-domain.  This problem—resolved by the present author in 2000—has been called the most difficult problem in quantum and classical electromagnetics {30 }.

Because of observed parity reversal accompanying the time-reversal operation, in his forward-time, the observer “sees”—after interacting the incoming wave with charge—the effect of the incoming time-reversed or phase conjugate wave (entering from the time domain) as a 3-space longitudinal EM wave leaving in the opposite spatial direction.  So the basic 4-space phase conjugate longitudinal wavepair would appear to us in forward time as a “regular” time-forward longitudinal EM wavepair in 3-space, with the two waves going outward in opposite directions.  But each is accompanied by a time-polarized EM wave, else it would not be observable.

            Further, there is a harmonic series of such bidirectional longitudinal wavepairs comprising the scalar potential.  So the staid old electrostatic potential (i) is not a "scalar entity" at all { [50] }, (ii) is a bundle of longitudinal wavepairs, (iii) is an entity with a remarkable internal hidden multiwave structures and dynamics, (iv) is a composite of very special waves whose transverse amplitude (i.e., whose spatial energy density, which is a function of transverse amplitude squared) does not change, but whose transported time structure changes, and (v) therefore is a special kind of wave that is velocity modulated about some central velocity, and is not limited to the speed of light c.  Indeed, in classical electrodynamics in the Coulomb gauge, the scalar potential is already recognized as having infinite velocity, merely appearing in space instantly at every point it occupies { [51] }.

            We also state without elaboration that the active vacuum is identically a very huge scalar potential, as indeed is “spacetime geometry”.  So a unifying principle is:

vacuum º spacetime º potential º energy { [52] } 

Further, as a potential, the “ambient” vacuum decomposes into an incredibly rich, internal Whittaker wave structure.  So then also must spacetime and energy similarly decompose.  That decomposition structure is even richer when higher symmetry O(3) EM is used instead of the lower symmetry U(1) EM employed by Whittaker.

            A revolution in electrodynamics has recently begun, and central to that revolution is the strong appearance of longitudinal EM waves as essentially the basis for the emerging new electrodynamics.  Work by Evans { [53] }, Barrett { [54] }, Ziolkowski { [55] }, Evans { [56] }, Rodrigues {57}, and others is fundamental in this respect.  One part of this emerging new electrodynamics is advanced under the label of undistorted progressive waves (UPWs).  A good summary of UPW theory is given by Rodrigues and Lu{ [57] }.  Even so, to date this body of work still largely ignores the internal Whittaker dynamics { [58] } inside an EM wave.  The body of work—particularly the higher symmetry O(3) electrodynamics pioneered by Evans {56} inherently possesses the capability to model such structuring, since much of it utilizes a higher topology algebra such as quaternions { [59] } or even Clifford algebra { [60] }  In those higher algebras, many electrodynamic things can be done outside the operations permitted by present vector and tensor electrodynamics.

Superpotentials and Superpotential Theory

            Whittaker’s 1904 paper { [61] } showed that all the “normal” electrodynamics was based on, and created by, the interference of scalar potential functions (i.e., by the interference of those multiwave longitudinal wavepairs and their dynamics { [62] } constituting the interfering scalar potentials.)  He showed that any EM field or wave whatsoever can be replaced by two scalar potential functions—in fact, is comprised of those two scalar potential functions and is created by them.  Scalar potential interferometry already creates all the “normal” EM in the textbooks anyway, and a proof has been given by Evans et al. { [63] }.

            The 1904 paper by Whittaker initiated a somewhat obscure branch of electrodynamics referred to as superpotential theory { [64] }.  Whittaker’s work was further extended and augmented by later scientists such as Righi { [65] }, Debye { [66] }, Bromwich { [67] }, Nisbet { [68] }, McCrea { [69] }, etc.  But even with the extended superpotential theory, without the addition of Whittaker 1903 and the substructuring "internal LW electrodynamics" one cannot understand the mechanism for what Rife was actually doing.

Rife was not using normal potentials and normal E and H fields—which as we discussed, only apply to observable material entities anyhow and thus could not be used to “see” far below the quantum threshold of least detectable material disturbance.  His entire protocol was to get beyond those “material interception of EM energy” limitations.  Unwittingly, Rife was using vacuum engines—involving structuring of the active vacuum as well as pure general relativity (GR) and pure structurings of spacetime geometry itself.  He was electromagnetically using that part of GR that the GR physicists have mostly only tried to produce by use of the weak gravitational force.  In GR, the ST geometry itself is active, dynamic, energetic, and structuring!  In higher symmetry electrodynamics, the ST geometry itself is powerfully active, dynamic, energetic, and structuring!  It is not at all just a "passive spacetime" as classical electrodynamics assumes { [70] }.

Biological Systems Use the Infolded Whittaker-Type Electrodynamics

The problem in the Rife microscope is to be able to observe very subtle ST curvatures and patterns, in an optical manner.  These subtle or virtual "disturbances" of local spacetime are far finer and smaller than the one-tenth wavelength optical resolution generally the limit for optical microscopes using conventional optical EM notions and “material” potentials, fields, and waves.

In short, Rife’s twofold problem was to (i) function with vacuum engines (internal structuring of the potentials) so he could penetrate to any degree of smallness, and (ii) output, in the observable state, exact visible summations and analogues of the individual structures detected in the virtual (nonobservable) state { [71] }.

To make the subtle vacuum engines observable on the bench, the ST curvatures and their internested patterning must be accomplished by making and assembling local curvatures of ST, via making longitudinal EM wavepairs in structural pattern assemblies.  Spacetime is in fact just a powerful scalar potential, or can be modeled as such, and as such Whittaker 1903 and 1904 rigorously applies, along with extensions from higher symmetry electrodynamics.  By realizing that ST is identically potential, one has altered one's thinking from the standard GR theory into a correlated EM-GR theory.  One has also extended GR: Not only is there a “topology” of things that can be externally done to a base spacetime, but there is also a hidden, vast EM topology within any overall base spacetime.  So we now have “topologies within topologies.”  This is in fact what the Russians have long called the information content of the field.

However, all living systems already use this "infolded" bidirectional, longitudinal wavepair EM in their ongoing living functions { [72] }.  Just as they used frequency modulation, EM signals, EM oscillations, etc. before we even had an electrodynamics or a physics, living systems do use the infolded EM (and vacuum engines) in all their living functions, and particularly in their cellular regeneration and restoration (R&R) system { [73] }, as contrasted to their immune system.  The immune system cells are the fighters and the debris scavengers/cleaners.  They go after the hostile invaders, fight them, and usually win—littering the battlefield with the debris.  Then the immune system scavenger cells clean up the residue.

            But many of the body’s cells will have been damaged in the fight.  The immune system itself cannot heal or restore a single damaged cell, even its own! It is not a healer!  It is a searcher, a marker, a killer, and a residue-cleaner.  It contains " the troops and the combat engineer," so to speak, but not the hospitals and the doctors.  All healing/restoration of living cells is done by the R&R system, not by the immune system.

            A high-level overview of the immune system is given in Figure 20.

            No vaccine, drug, herb, vitamin, or mineral heals the body, although certainly they can enhance or aid the body's healing process.  Each does carry its individual resident vacuum engine, and when absorbed by the cell, this added vacuum engine contributes to the resident vacuum engine in the cell by summing with it.  To restore the damaged cells back to normal (i.e., to heal), the R&R system uses a novel kind of extended electrodynamics with infolded vacuum engines, and it uses a novel kind of optical phase conjugate pumping, in the time domain rather than just 3-space.  The magic “unified field theory” so long sought by scientists, has long been utilized by the regeneration and restoration system of the body in its minute-to-minute and day-to-day healing and restoring actions.

            The magic "universal healing mechanism" so long evading the discovery of medical scientists is none other than the exact cellular regenerative mechanism universally used by every living organism.  For the first time, we are explaining the higher symmetry electromagnetic nature of this mechanism.

            Robert Becker's epochal work { [74] } (Figure 21, Figure 22) strongly probed the electromagnetic control system directing the body’s cellular regeneration and repair (R&R) system.  However, he did not have available the infolded Whittaker electrodynamics.   He could only utilize the grossly inadequate standard electrodynamics.  Modern nonlinear phase conjugate optics had not yet been born when Becker did most of his seminal work. 

Since standard EM does not incorporate infolded GR, vacuum engines, or optical pumping in the time domain, Becker could not formulate the full technical mechanism of the R&R system —which uses the supersystem, not just the system.  But Becker did strongly point out the importance of the R&R system, both theoretically and experimentally.  He found that it operated electrically, with the scalar potentials being key.  He modeled the R&R system as closely as can be done with classical U(1) electromagnetics (Figure 22).  He proved that cells can be dedifferentiated (reversed back to an earlier, more primitive state) and redifferentiated (time-forwarded into a more complex state) by weak DC potentials and laughably weak (picoamperes) of current.  He was twice nominated for a Nobel prize for his epochal work.  His method of electromagnetic healing of otherwise intractable bone fractures (Figure 21) is utilized today in many hospitals.

In his microscope, Rife was in pursuit of optically "seeing" the infolded electrodynamics functioning of the living cells in the most minute detail—i.e., he wished to see the actual vacuum engines and their functions.  Using the infolded EM, one can still "see" the cells and all their parts, but one can also go far beyond the one-tenth wavelength optical discrimination limitation and see into the virtual state dynamics.  In theory, because the infolded EM is recursive as a function of wavelength, one can go to any limit in smallness desired—or at least to whatever limit is determined by the available technology's development at the time { [75] }.

Vlail Kaznacheyev's novel electromagnetic induction of cellular death, disease, and damage, at a distance, is instructive in this respect { [76] }.  (Figure 23)  Indeed, the Russians mastered, extended, and weaponized the Kaznacheyev mechanisms as disease-inducing weaponry, and slyly used it at low level on personnel in the U.S. Embassy in Moscow (Figure 24).  This was done to stimulate high level officials in the U.S. government and U.S. scientific community to see if the U.S. knew of this "infolded electrodynamics and vacuum engine" technology { [77] }. The Russians were using GR, but by infolded EM means—so they were using a unified field theory involving higher group symmetry electrodynamics.  The puzzled U.S. employed only standard U(1) symmetry electrodynamic analysis { [78] }, so it totally missed the entire physics of what was occurring to cause the health changes and diseases. 

In GR, one is very interested in Wheeler's principle which states (slightly paraphrased):

Mass (trapped energy) acts upon ST geometry to curve it, and curved ST acts upon mass to produce forces upon it and move it.

            This statement after Wheeler is the very essence of general relativity.  It simply states that there is a mass-to-spacetime dynamic transform, and also a spacetime-to-mass dynamic transform, as we diagrammatically showed in Figure 9.

Understanding Vacuum Engines and Their Action

Wheeler’s general relativity principle includes the missing two transforms of electro-dynamics.  We are extending Wheeler’s principle to the corollary form:

All levels of the structures of mass (trapped energy structures) and all levels of the structures of time (the time aspects of photon structures) act upon ST geometry to structure it in both 3-spatial energy density structuring and in time domain structuring.  Producing this multilevel spatial and temporal structuring of spacetime is called “forming a vacuum engine.”  Both 3-spatial energy density structuring of spacetime at all levels and time structuring of spacetime at all levels, act upon mass at all levels, to produce internested templates of forces and translations and stresses.

            In short, energy patterns and time patterns in 3-space act upon spacetime to produce patterned curvatures of ST geometry (vacuum engines).  And conversely, patterned curvatures of spacetime geometry (vacuum engines) act upon mass to produce corresponding patterns of forces at all levels in the mass—down to and including upon the quarks and gluons in the nucleons in the atomic nuclei.  We note with pleasure that the Sachs unified field theory does apply from the gluons to the entire universe, as has been shown by Sachs himself {18b}.

Muscle and Skeleton Analogy of Interaction of Vacuum Engine and Mass

We call attention again to our analogy (Figures 15, 16, 17, and 18) of the interaction of a vacuum engine and mass, provided by the interaction of arm muscles and the skeletal arm bones to which they are attached.  The arm muscles attach to the arm's skeletal bones, and those bones are articulated and free to dynamically move.  To the bones, the muscles are mysterious agents (analogous to vacuum engines) exerting forces upon them, and causing them to move or hold.  To the muscles, the bones are positioned resisting masses for them to work upon and change their positions, and the bones exert Newtonian reaction forces back upon the muscles as the muscles apply forces to the bones.  So the vacuum engines (muscles) create forces upon the resisting masses (bones) to move them, and the masses act back upon the causative vacuum engines to create antiforces in resistance.

            Using this analogy, when we create a set of vacuum engines, we create a set of “mysterious muscles” that act directly upon any and all “masses” (bones) that are exposed to them.  The bones then change and move until the bidirectional interaction forces are balanced (equal and opposite).   This symmetry between the two missing transforms is shown in Figure 9.

The Multilevel Structuring of Time is Important

            We also add the extension that dynamic structuring in the time stream also occurs from trapped time domain “time component” structuring and distribution effects, as well as dynamic structuring of the spatial energy density of the ST geometry (the vacuum).

We are speaking relativistically of the interaction of mass and spacetime at any and all levels of a mass, down to and including the molecules, the atoms, the atomic nuclei, the nucleons, and even the quarks comprising the nucleons (comprising the protons and neutrons).  One must first clearly have this vision in mind: The dynamics of everything ongoing in that mass, down to the most minute particle dynamics and in the most minute detail (and far into the virtual state beyond the one-tenth wavelength limitation of light resolution) consists of the structurings of this "mass-ST curvature" mutual interaction.

So we know from general relativity that collections of energy (such as mass) act directly upon spacetime, its structuring, and its dynamics at any and all levels, down to the tiniest.  We know that the variations in local spacetime geometry (including in both energy and time), down to any and all levels and sizes, down to the tiniest conceivable lengths, act directly upon any and all exposed mass at that level, no matter how tiny. 

There is no “quantum” limitation nor is there any “wavelength of light” limitation to this GR process.  Total continuity applies.

Some Characteristics of Vacuum Engines

The great advantage of a vacuum engine is that the "action" it produces upon an exposed mass, arises directly from within each point in the local spacetime in which the mass is embedded.  One does not have to "start outside" and move through space and the intervening mass toward the "inside".  Every point within an object occupies every point in time, a priori.  From a single time-point, the vacuum engine's 3-space action enters everywhere within the object, all-at-once, and the 3-space effects proceed outward from each interior point. (See again Figure 19). Therefore even a weak vacuum engine induced by EM forces can do with ridiculous ease what the most powerful particle accelerators on Earth cannot do.  The engine is already everywhere "inside" an object or particle, and working from every point in it, toward an outward direction.  On the other hand, a particle accelerator is trying to build tremendous velocity of its particles so that they can "smash" their way in there, by brute force.  To get ever deeper, the particle accelerator must be made ever larger, so that a "bigger hammer" is available.  Also, the vacuum engine does not smash or damage any of the matter in the object, in any fashion not desired.  The particle accelerator, on the other hand, is a great disruptor and may well destroy or serious change the very object it "probes". 

Further, contrary to the accelerator's "one shot for one giant amount of energy input", a vacuum engine—once formed—continually exists in that locally altered spacetime and is contained in it and is sustained by it.  Hence that locally altered spacetime—after we pay to alter it once—will continuously expend energy in the form of the action of that vacuum energy, forever, upon any mass emplaced in that local spacetime.  The universe itself is furnishing the energy to do the work, via the instantaneous connection in the time domain.

That "multiply connected space" entry everywhere within an object simultaneously, is quite different from "spatial propagation of energy" through singly-connected space from outside an object to the object, striking the outside of a mass and being absorbed, producing a gross translation force upon the mass.  In the “energy propagation through space” case, severe energy interaction may occur with only the absorbing part of a macroscopic mass, while the remainder of the mass is little affected or not at all.  To wit, one does not get the resulting electronuclear alterations of the nucleus (materialization, dematerialization, transmutation, etc.) by absorbed propagated “normal” EM radiation.  However, with weak EM-induced vacuum engines one can do things inside the nucleus such as easily flip quarks inside the nucleons, so that transmutations at very weak spatial energy levels are readily obtained.  This in fact turned out to be the major secret of the low-energy nuclear transmutations occurring in some 600 cold fusion experiments worldwide {
