The Wave Congruence Hypothesis

Water waves are often used as an analogy for electromagnetic waves, such as radio, infrared, visible light and, ultraviolet. Both types of wave have wavelength, frequency and, amplitude. The difference, of course, is that we can actually see how water waves operate. The visible light that we can see is a narrow section of the electromagnetic spectrum, but we cannot see how it operates.

There are also sound waves, which travel through various materials. Sound operates in a way similar to the waves in water, except that they involve alternating compressions and rarefactions in the medium, rather than crests and troughs (the high and low points of the wave). Sound also travels very well through water, which is why whales can communicate over great distances.

All waves are actually electromagnetic in nature. This is the only force that can create physical waves. The waves of the electromagnetic spectrum are electromagnetic in that by disturbing the perfect checkerboard alternation of negative and positive charges, as I described in the theory, they uncover the underlying electromagnetism of space itself. We do not otherwise perceive space as electromagnetic simply because it's component charges balance out to zero. The movement of charges in matter, such as electrons moving in a radio transmission antenna, disturb the charged particles of space nearby by attracting opposite charges and repelling like charges, which further disturb the charged particles further out, thus creating a wave which uncovers the underlying electromagnetism of space.

Waves in matter, such as water waves, also operate by electromagnetism. But these waves operate by repulsion only, not by opposite charge attraction. The force that creates these waves is electron repulsion. The electrons in the outer shells of atoms in a stone thrown into a pond, or in the hull of a ship moving through the sea, repel the like-charged electrons in the atoms of water, pushing the molecules of water outward, and thus creating the wave.

Both waves manifest the same three parameters; wavelength, frequency and, amplitude (the height or strength of the wave). Both are created by electromagnetism involving movement of matter. The water waves exist in matter only, the electromagnetic waves exist in space but are initiated by matter and affect matter across space. The electromagnetic waves result from both attraction of opposite charges and mutual repulsion of like charges, while the water waves result from electron repulsion only.

My Theory of Stationary Space is that space and matter are merely different arrangements of the same thing. If we had a pattern of perfectly alternating infinitesimal negative and positive charges, we have space. If we have strings of such charges, with the string a single charge throughout, we have matter. If the movement of a matter charge produces waves in the sorrounding space by the attraction of opposite charges and the repulsion of like charges in the space, we have an electromagnetic wave.

I consider it as proof enough of my concept that space and matter are actually different arrangments of the same thing, that matter can create waves in the charges of space that can affect matter across that space. But as additional proof, I maintain that the close similarity of water and sound waves to electromagnetic waves, all manifest the same parameters of frequency, wavelength and, amplitude, is proof that, as my cosmological theory explains, space and matter are merely different forms of the same thing, which is a near-infinity of infinitesimal negative and positive electric charges.
