Well, I have had to think long and hard how I want to respond. I really didn't want to get tied down as to the engineering of how one would produce such a field. But I do get your point, something must produce the field. If we were to take a bar magnet and rotate it at relativistic speeds,

Ok, well if it's axial field orientation then I would say you have walked right into the N-Machine paradox. Which is, does the magnetic field actually rotate when you rotate a magnet on an axial orientation? For me I see no paradox. And yes, I have thought of the N-Machine a lot in this

From Michael Corsiar: What makes you believe it would radiate any EM? I don't. Not sure what to believe. It's why I'm askin... The field is rotating, it is not expanding or collapsing. I see this as a standing or scalar wave. I would expect an E-field, but no EM radiation. I think the

BTW I might add one thing. Even if a magnetic field can exceed the speed of light in this sense it is not really clear how that compares to any other form of movement. For instance a magnetic field can be made to appear to rotate by turning on electromagnets in order as with the rotating stator
