Sorry, Maxwell Equations with its fields TOTALLY describe that
phenomenon. Anyone that can prove otherwise has a free trip to
Stockholm. ;-)

I don't recall discussing any religion here. ???

Our group is a bit different; we don't reject much other than spam and
personal attacks and physics that is blatently contrary to physical
evidence. Maxwell posts there occasionally. But sometimes good
discussions happen on the unmoderated groups before they get too much
noise. Since this thread is being crossposted to sci.physics, I am
surprised it hasn't been over-run by a bunch of noise yet. ;-)

I don't know what to tell you other than Maxwell's equations and its
fields have stood the test of time for over 100 years for Classical EM.
Anyone that can prove they don't accurately describe certain classical
EM phenomena would surely win a Nobel Prize. And for me, it is not hard
to personally experience static electric and magnetic fields. Maxwell
is not even required. ;-)
