Coherence is a term that's applied to electromagnetic
waves. When they "wiggle" up and down together (in phase) they
are said to be coherent. A laser is a good example of coherent light.
An ordinary light bulb produces incoherent light much like the random
waves produced when many raindrops hit a puddle. Electromagnetic radiation
is coherent when the photons are produced in such a way that they are
in phase with one another and incoherent when the phases of the photons
are random. Partial coherence is an intermediate situation where there
a significant fraction of the photons have related phase, but not all
of them.
An EMP has coherence when it has sufficient energy to interact with its
environment. Only when the EMP is in an active (coherent) phase can it
be photographed with appreciable contrast.
Partial coherence is an intermediate situation where a significant fraction
of the photons have related phase, but not all of them. EMPs in this state
are faded and do not have as much contrast against their background when
filmed or photographed and may or may not be able to interact with their
environment. As an EMP propagates across a field over time and space,
it will loose coherence.
An EMP's energy field dissipates over time, through
adsorption, degradation, dilution, and/or transformation. This is called
attenuation. Radiologically, it is the reduction of the intensity of radiation
upon passage through a medium. The attenuation is caused by absorption
and scattering.
Eventually, the EMP reaches a limbotic state and becomes incoherent. During
this phase the EMP cannot be photographed and it is unable to interact
with it environment.So how does an EMP reach a coherenant state? In
our hypothesis there are several possibilities.
1. The EMP absorbs ionic energy from its environment, storing this energy
until the EM field coverts back to coherence.
2. The EMP initates an Electromagnetic Cascade Shower. Electrons can create
photons by interacting with the EMP's magnetic field. In a similar way,
photons can create electrons and their antiparticles, positrons, by interacting
with the EMP's energy itself. The electrons (ions) can set photons into
motion and these photons can, in turn, set electrons and positrons into
motion, and this process can continue to repeat. Enough electrons can
set thousands of particles into motion. Albert Einstein's famous relation
governing the equivalence of matter and energy (E = mc²) governs
this process -- namely, matter (electrons and positrons) can be created
from pure energy and vice versa. The particle creation process only stops
when the energy runs out. The majority of cascade showers will fail before
suffcient energy is reached for the EMP to interact with its environment. Behavior characteristics are determined by the
3rd law of thermodynamics. All energy is subject to entropy and over time
the EMP phenomena will begin to lose its ability to achieve coherence.
This also results in a loss of energy from its natural magnetic field,
directly affecting the phenomenon's ability to interact in its environment.
Eventually, entropy causes the complete dissolution of the EMP and it
ceases to exist. |
