Both Wikipedia and my educators called electromagnetic radiation a self propagating wave.
I would suggest that the word self be removed from wikipedia at least. There is no self in a wave. Even the word "coupled" or "causally related" are risky WRT the grav and mag components as I don't think anyone understands the coupling or causality.
Saying that EM is a wave-particle with grav and mag at right angles that can propgate in a vacuum contains the same amount of real information and is more reflective of what is known IMO. (perp to line travel too)
Is there any merit to this thought?
