Now I am sure the above has alot of mistakes and errors, but the line
of arguement
is clear and sound. The line of argument that we know little to
nothing about
what type of distinct "currents" there are in Nature. In fact, we
probably know
what types of disctint bonds in chemistry or forms of magnetism there
exists
than we know of what different distinct currents exist.

I mentioned longitudinal and transverse waves above. But let me start
over at the
point.

Let me try to describe on a purely geometrical argument what types of
current
can exist that moves a electron charge from point A to point B.

I can think of purely geometrical these pictures:

(1) longitudinal wave
(2) sinusoidal wave
(3) transverse wave
(4) elliptical wave
(5) straight-line motion

Now we all know that a lightwave is transverse with a E component and
B component

So can we have a longitudinal lightwave where the lightwave is carried
by a longitudinal
wave?

Can we have a lightwave that is carried via a Sinusoidal wave?

Can we have a lightwave which is transverse itself be a subset of a
larger
transverse wave? Where a lightwave is the pilot wave of a larger
transverse wave?

An elliptic wave is what I imagine as a Field. Where point A is a
distance away
from point B and we draw an ellipse from A to B and so the lightwave
travels
in this elliptic path from point A to point B. In this fashion, we can
make "Field theory"
as a special case of a travelling lightwave.

And last on the list above is a electron charge or proton charge that
simple moves from
point A to point B in a straight line. Much of what we think of as
particle motion rather
than wave motion.

Now am I going anywhere with all these possibilities? I think so. If
you look at page
891 in Brown, LeMay, Bursten, fifth ed. "Chemistry the Central
Science" you see
how three simple geometrical pictures clarify what the difference
between diamagnetism
paramagnetism and ferromagnetism are.

In the same manner, I am looking for simple geometry to explain the
most important
different types of current that exist in Nature.

First we have to acknowledge that Physics has very many different
types of currents
which the present day physics community is ignorant thereof. But once
we acknowledge
that currents are as many and varied as are chemical bonds and as
there are forms
of magnetism, then we can begin to systematize what those currents
are, and then
have the very best geometry of those different types of currents.

One of those currents is the Capacitor Current which I believe is the
heart of Superconduction.
Perhaps the Capacitor Current is a Longitudinal EM current.

Now progress will be made on this issue if we begin to realize that we
can explain AC from
DC so much better by purely a geometrical picture. Or explain the
Maxwell Displacement
current in the Ampere Maxwell law as a geometrical picture.
