I don't think Mr. (Dr. {hon.}) Bearden understands all he knows. He has
two good ideas: "regauging" and "reverse-time (conjugate) waves".
Unfortunately, I'm still paying for the power company to oscillate my
electrons at 60 Hz. And all I hear are excuses for the MEG.
He had one idea right and has changed it recently. Consider the proton
with it's positive charge. The positive electrical "field" of the
hydrogen atom's proton is "shielded" by the electron. But, suppose you
ionize the H atom? How does the purely electrical field of the proton
express itself in the universe? Does it propagate? If so, at what speed?
I don't know if the questions are rhetorical, but the answers to these
questions are well understood.
How do you "ionize" an H atom? You remove the electron; you don't do
anything to the proton.
But before we pursue that, let's back up a little. The field of the
proton was present from the get-go. (It's had something like 30 billion
years to propagate to the corners of the universe...) The "shielding"
of the electron takes the form of the principle of superposition: the
net E field at each point is the _sum_ of the proton's field and the
electron's field. When the electron is more or less uniformly
distributed over a spherical volume with the proton at the center, the
two fields sum to almost exactly zero everywhere outside the atom.
Now, when you "ionize" the atom by removing the electron, it's the
electron which moves (or anyway it's the electron which moves a lot; the
proton only moves a little). The proton's field doesn't change (much)
because the proton doesn't move (much); the electron's field, on the
other hand, moves a lot to follow the electron, which moves a lot.
The information that the electron has moved is visible in the changes to
its field. Those changes propagate at C, just like any other EM wave.
The change in the field of the electron -- due to its motion -- carries
energy; that energy was provided to the field by whatever force
accelerated the electron.
When the changes to the electron's field have propagated out past the
position of an observer, the observer will see that it's centered on the
electron, which has now moved off someplace far from the proton. It's
no longer exactly superimposed on the proton's field. Hence, the
proton's unchanged field is no longer being cancelled at every point by
the electron's field and so we can detect it, where we couldn't before.
Today Dr. (hon) Bearden is saying the proton draws photons from the
aether. Now, how is that different from his earlier work?

I found this totally opaque. Is it possible to shed a little light on it
in a few words?
