Time Cystral Physicists?

Is he really that old?

He seems to be. High School from the 50s. His primary source for microwave radiation was an army 1960s radar tech manual which he half remembered reading (and he got it all wrong).

Then you "half remembered" that. I was in the Navy, and I never said anything about the army. You sit there and nag me about sources, and then when I tell you, you use it against me for everything I say. You never give any source's for all the things you say. I don't even know of a single text that uses the phrase "half remembered". Sounds like something someone with a mental deficiency would keep saying.

You still don't know that an electromagnetic wave consists of photons, not electrons.

You never give any source's for all the things you say.

And you still claim that information on the internet is being hacked to show that you're wrong.

Then what does the electric field consist of that attracts electrons to the nucleus of the atom? Do protons and electrons constantly exchange photons in your pseudo-skeptic theories? Then two magnets should also exchange photons when they attract each other?

Yes they do, in both cases. When dealing with quantum electrodynamics, it's pretty common to talk about "virtual photon exchange" as the mechanism by which electromagnetic forces occur. Of course, it's a little more complicated than that (in case the presence of the word "virtual" didn't already cue you in), but saying that the electric field is made of photons is a reasonable oversimplification. On the other hand, the claim that electromagnetic waves consist of electrons is completely, demonstrably false.

As a side note, ad hominem labels like "pseudo-skeptic" are normally reserved for fringe positions that aren't even worth dismissing. The fact that you would apply such a label to the prevailing physical theory tells me you overestimate your expertise in the area.
