Physicians often abandon concrete explanations of physical occurrences (for example of electric resp. magnetic forces or gravity) and work with ´dummy-term´ of fields. Nevertheless, forces of fields are calculatable by known formulas (and thus abstract term is to accept), essence resp. real background of these occurrences however remain unexplained.
As a ´blackbox´ even less precisely defined, at the moment more and more is used term of ´standing waves´. For example, electromagnetic waves are described as existing of fields (or one switches to mechanical elements as particles e.g. of photons or neutrinos), above this however and in addition, ´standing´ waves demand certain prerequistes (mostly not defined or not spoken about).
Technical Applications
Standing waves technically are used in many applications, effects were achieved, which otherwise wouldn´t be possible. However, installation, continuance and usage of standing waves are bound to very narrow parameters.
At picture 02.05.01 schematically is shown as an example, how three waves could be build up standing ´in space´. Inevitably necessary is arrangement of mirror surfaces (black vertical lines) exactly positioned corresponding to wave´s length. If distance is multiple of wave´s length, ´standing nodes´ come up (like at this picture). If distance is odd multiple of half of wave´s length, wave completely is mirrored. Above this it´s absolutely necessary, mirror surfaces are exactly right angled to spreading direction of wave.
So standing waves can exist only by directed radiation of certain frequency in relation to exactly adjusted mirror surfaces. If these conditions are not given, no standing wave will result but just normal jumbled reception (German ´Wellensalat´ which means ´wave´s salad´). Concerning technical realisation, these demands are fulfilled without problems by many units (i.e. at systems more or less closed) and wanted effects are achieved.
Natural Realities
However, standing waves meanwhile are also ´hold responsible´ for occurrences within ´free nature´, i.e. within open systems resp. at no laboratory-like conditions resp. at circumstances not fixed by mechanical equipments.
For example, some explorers assume standing waves as source of gravity. Others assume electrons around atom nucleus being standing waves. Lastly, theory of global scaling is based on existence of standing waves within whole universe. There are more ideas of other scientists, assuming standing waves as source of many occurrences.
In my opinion, many of these considerations don´t care sufficiently about prerequisites (transmitter, frequency, spreading direction, mirror surface). For example, at wide space these prerequisites merely exist (wandering transmitters, unregular frequencies, distorted spreading, meanwhile reflected radiation, not resting or not right angled mirror surfaces etc.).
So standing waves of natural sources merely won´t exist within ether of wide space like especially near celestial bodies - nevertheless all technically used standing waves naturally are lastly based on ether movements.
At universe, practically there are no waves running in any direction, are properly mirrored and standing constantly within space (strictly speaking, that´s just impossible within three dimensions, cause standing waves would cross each other from most different directions).
Mirrored by Nothing
Just this problem of mirroring demonstrates confusion of understandings. At the one hand one thinks by abstract fields, on the other hand one assumes ideas of mechanics (by inadmissible analogy). So there is assumed on and on (or even unspoken), waves could be mirrored at ´diluted areas´ (with precision demanded above).
Most simple mechanical example of waves is using a rope, build up swinging movements by hand at front end of rope, while backside end is fixed at a wall. So e.g. are to produce standing nodes easily.
This picture of wave (by some skill) is also to achieve, if backside end is loose. Wave then runs through rope - however doesn´t come back by mirroring, but cause hand at frontside end affects remarkable pulling forces. If also front end would be loose, wave would run out of rope at backside end and never ever would come up standing nodes.
So it´s only stability of rope (and pulling hand), that makes wave run back, even backside end is ´vacuum´. At (electromagnetic) waves of abstract fields however is just negated any medium would be involved (capable to take pulling forces). This mixing-up of abstract terms (inclusive negating concrete medium) and experiences of mechanical world (with only partly fitting analogy) inevitably results insufficient understanding.
Conditions for building up and stable existence of standing waves, thus at universe merely won´t exist. Following chapters however will show alternative ´standing waves´ omnipresent without spreading nor mirroring.
