Effect of conservation of spatial volume on electromagnetism

Abstract

This essay presents an alternate mechanism for electromagnetism and provides arguments supporting new concepts of this phenomenon. Electricity and magnetism are defined and influenced by the electric permittivity ε o and magnetic permeability μ o physical constants of the vacuum. This essay's concepts are predicated on the notion that the free-space vacuum appears to be composed of an energy field with characteristics of an elastic medium termed the “spatial energy field” or SEF. It is proposed that the geometric volume of the SEF requires conservation, and this is achieved via stretching or compression of space exhibiting wavelike qualities. The SEF, representing spacetime, has specific properties related to the emergence of an electrical field force via the Poynting vector. Magnetic field force appears to emanate from the SEF based on the Lorentz force. Space (SEF) appears to mediate energy fields, such as electrical and magnetic fields, and provides a framework for the transmission of electromagnetic waves in addition to momentum-gravitational waves. Conservation of spatial volume influences these phenomena.
