Can Scalar Waves Explain Electronic Voice Phenomenon?

In summary, scalar waves are a type of electromagnetic wave that oscillates in the direction of propagation and lacks a direction of spin or polarization. They have a unique relationship with time and are theorized to have potential applications in energy transmission, communication, and healing. However, their practical uses are still largely unproven and debated, and more research is needed to fully understand and harness their potential. Scalar waves are thought to be produced by the interaction of two electromagnetic waves of equal frequency that are out of phase, but this is still a theoretical concept. Currently, there are no proven practical applications for scalar waves and more research and experimentation is needed to determine their potential uses.

can someone explain this to me please?

A scalar is just a number. A wave is a repetitive variation in that number. For example the altitude of each point in Wisconsin forms a scalar wave. Or sound waves, all you can hear is the intensity of the superimposed tones; the intensity is just a number (yeah, maybe a complex number) and it varies repetitively (i.e the cycles of the tones).

What context did you find the phrase in?

FAQ: Can Scalar Waves Explain Electronic Voice Phenomenon?

1. What are scalar waves?

Scalar waves are a type of electromagnetic wave that has been theorized since the early 1900s. They are often described as longitudinal waves, meaning that they oscillate in the direction of propagation, unlike transverse waves like light or radio waves.

2. How are scalar waves different from other types of waves?

One key difference is that scalar waves do not have a direction of spin or polarization like other electromagnetic waves. They also have a unique relationship with time, as they are thought to exist outside of the traditional space-time continuum.

3. What are the potential applications of scalar waves?

There are many theories about the potential applications of scalar waves, but they are still largely unproven and highly debated. Some suggest that they could be used for energy transmission, communication, and even healing. However, more research is needed to fully understand and harness their potential.

4. How are scalar waves produced?

Scalar waves are thought to be produced by the interaction of two electromagnetic waves of equal frequency that are out of phase with each other. This creates a standing wave, which is then thought to create scalar waves as a byproduct. However, this is still a theoretical concept and has not been fully proven.

5. Are there any practical uses for scalar waves currently?

While there are many theories about the potential uses of scalar waves, there are currently no proven practical applications. The concept of scalar waves is still highly debated and has not been fully accepted by the scientific community. More research and experimentation is needed to determine if and how scalar waves can be utilized in practical ways.
