The Scale Set

I have concluded that we have some misunderstanding about the nature of electromagnetic waves. So, I have developed an idea called the "Scale Set" to help clarify things. This misunderstanding is similar to that of the fact that we percieve the sun as moving around the earth when the opposite is actually the case.

The basis of the Scale Set is the understanding that it is not the nature of the waves themselves that cause some to be radio waves, others to be heat, some to be visible light, some to be ultraviolet and, so on. It is our scale set, which is the size of the atoms that our world and universe is composed of relative to the wavelengths of electromagnetic waves that cause the waves to fall into categories based on how their wavelength causes them to interact with matter.

There is no difference at all between X-rays and infrared (heat), between radio waves and ultraviolet or, between gamma rays and visible light, except for the wavelength of the waves. There is a near-infinity of possible wavelengths. The Scale Set is the way in which matter interacts with the various wavelengths of electromagnetic waves due to the sizes of atoms, molecules and other physical structures. It is not so much how waves affect matter but how matter interacts with waves.

In this view of reality, the waves are the constant and the matter is the variable according to it's scale set. Matter produces and interacts with waves but if the nature of atoms was different, the wavelength of wave that would interact in the same way would also be different. Again, it is a lot like the earth revolving around the sun. It seems to us that the earth is the constant but it is not.

If atoms were as big as oranges, very long low-frequency waves would replace the electromagnetic spectrum as we know it today. The waves that would operate with that scale set would be of far lower energy and could carry far less information than the waves associated with our scale set today. Vision as we know it would be impossible.
