Polarizable vacuum analysis of electric and magnetic fields

ABSTRACT
In summary, according to the analysis of the energy and force of the electric
and magnetic fields on the basis of vacuum polarization, it is concluded that
an electric field is a polarized distribution of the vacuum virtual dipoles,
and that a magnetic field in vacuum is a rearrangement of the vacuum
polarization. Thus, the electromagnetic wave can be
regarded as a successional changing of the vacuum polarization in space. Also,
it is found that the virtual dipoles around an elementary charge possess an
average half length
a = 2.8 × 10^−15 m.
This result leads to the knowledge that an electric field has a step
distribution of the energy density, which eliminated the divergence in
calculating the electron’s electrostatic energy. And it is known that there is
a relation between the fine structure constant and the vacuum polarization
distribution, which reduced the mystery of the constant α. Finally, it is
figured out that an extremely high energy density of the electromagnetic field
can be ∼ 10^29 J/m^3, which implies an optical power density ∼ 10^33 W/cm^2;
far higher than the Schwinger critical value. With these interesting findings,
we anticipate that the vacuum polarization investigation of the fields will be
developed further and applied to more fundamental problems of physics.

Some of you will remember how I’ve expressed my thoughts on a qualitative model
I’ve been developing which is based on a physical model of the vacuum and its
properties and behavior which results in the things that we perceive to be
subatomic particles/atoms. Remember how I regretted not having the
mathematical skills necessary to quantify my qualitative model? Well, it would
seem that this person has beat me to it! His description of the propagation of
an EM wave a “…successional changing of the vacuum polarization in space” is
exactly how I envision it. I hope this scientist continues to develop his
ideas, and gets some help from other bright minds… I’d like to see where this
path might lead!
