A different picture of radiation

A major difference between radiating and non-radiating fields is that the level of a nonradiating fields decreases with the third power of the radius (volume), while the level of a radiating field decreases with the first power. The analysis presented here provides evidence as to how and why this occurs. The conclusions are somewhat surprising. It has been accepted as fact that waves cannot move faster than the speed of light. However, it is only the propagation of signals in the radial direction that is limited to the speed of light. Tangential waves travel much faster. Electromagnetic waves are not seen to "break away", but to vary with the high tangential velocity of the field, producing a compression of the wave and a corresponding time delay with distance.
