Electromagnetic waves and my adventures along pages about EPR paradox

It seems that nothing new can be added to such a well-studied electrodynamics in condensed media. But look. First, electromagnetic waves can be represented only by electric vector, because the magnetic component is a derivative from it. It is convenient to recall the magnetic component only in the boundary conditions. In this case, the amplitudes of reflection and refraction are easily found for any polarization and any incidence angles of the incident wave. Secondly, the vector of the flux density of electromagnetic energy is here criticized. If it is identified with the Umov-Pointing vector, it sometimes leads to unacceptable physical effects. At total internal reflection, an energy density flux for circularly polarized photons perpendicular to the plane of incidence appears. Thirdly, it is extremely difficult, usually, to describe waves in anisotropic media and surface waves. Here a more simple approach with application of algebra is proposed. The interaction of electromagnetic waves with matter is similar to neutron interaction, and, where appropriate, the analogy is pointed out. Of particular importance is the chapter on the EPR paradox.... Mehr
