Agenda/Discussion topic: "On Trial: TEM waves".

Attendees should be prepared to put forward any objections to transverse electromagnetic (TEM) waves and any defenses. For example:
0. Maxwell's equations
1. Entanglement of photons
2. Wave-particle duality nature of photons.
2.a. Quantum nature of photons.
3. Polarization?
4. Bending by gravity or within space-time?
5. Cosmological redshift?
6. Any other weird phenomenon about the generation/absorbtion of photons?

We can have a quick 15-minute review about TEM waves at the beginning of the meeting to refresh everyone's memory.

Meeting place:

A conference room within a branch of the Austin Public Library:
