However, a photon is an EM wave. It's an electric field, and a magnetic field, and no means to carry a charge, for neither one of those does. Thus is charge relegated to particles with mass, like electrons and protons.

When we think we know all the answers, then we quit learning. What is wrong with more questions? I call that an opportunity, and it seems some people just want to take the first idea that comes along, and stick with it. I don't trust in science that uses stuff you can't observe to explain a theory. Dark matter? Can you please put some on display for me?
Black Holes? Oh, I know we just haven't figured out how to show it yet. It reminds me of Darwin and his theory you can't observe and shows nothing in the fossil record he thought would be there, but it's what people like. It explains it for them, an if it's not how he said it is, then we are left with questions!
I really do think that as much as people think we are enlightened to day, they have no idea just how locked into a darkness of intellectual arrogance beyond belief.

There's no evidence of this at all in professional science. We're locked in darkness of bad career prospects.

Little home projects are where the fun's at. How are you with physical chemistry? I need a non-FORN physical chemist that can get a q-sensitive clearance and will work cheap.
My other major side project requires someone who's good at physical nuclear chemistry and isn't afraid of working with very toxic radioactive gases and very active neutron sources. I'm still in the phase I pitch stage, though, so it's all theoretical unless they buy into it. Do you like Idaho?

Fortunately for my health, I suck really bad at both of these. (I'm in private industry now doing modeling & software).
ps: hi, welcome back. about that plasma stuff....don't leave us hanging..

Charge causes EM waves to exist (right?), so what is the relationship between them? How do they interact, and how is the EM field and EM wave fundamentally different from the quark fields which contain charged particles, and how are the particles coupled to the field?
Also Electric and magnetic fields are disturbed by charged particles, and can in turn disturb charged particles right? So why isnt an electromagnetic wave the same?edit on 24-9-2013 by ImaFungi because: (no reason given)

And what occurs in situations where there is a charge neutral particle that is no interacting with the EM field but is turned to a charged particle or births one?

The whole reason physicists think they need dark matter, is because they observed all detectable masses in the galaxy, added them up, and then plugged them into gravity equations and then observed that the observed masses would not be able to produce the kind of gravity field required to keep the galaxy stable and existent as it is?
Did they factor in the potentially ever increasing mass of the central black hole, and potentially unknown affects that may be present when the massive rotating gravity well of the milky way galaxy constantly collides with space (dark energy filled space?) outside of the galaxy, and also potentially relativistic mass of the bodies in the galaxy and perhaps affects they may have on gravity fields, like from the center a trickle down system of gravity wells lessening the load of bodies locally further from the center, and so on and so forth?

Yes I think I am understanding more and more (which usually means nothing)... So what does the EM field look like when charged particles are traveling but no EM radiation is being created. And what does it look like when one particle is forced to create EM wave?
So its not even that the EM field is neutrally charged like a neutron, the idea of associated the phenomenon of charge with EM field is just incompatible?
Cant fundamental quanta, matter, be destroyed...or eventually cant matter turn completely into radiation, and eventual one possibility is that all that exist will be radiation, what would have happened to charge?

That's only going to happen if you've got appropriate types and quantities of anti-particles, and unless you find a lot of anti-matter I haven't heard about, that's not going to happen in this universe.
