ABSTRACT: This article is about the electromagnetic interactions and the physical nature of the medium that mediates in these interactions. We propose a model in which that medium—the “electromagnetic field” or “EM field”—is a substantial element of nature. It will be shown that an EM field can be identified as an expanding cloud of informatons that mathematically is characterized by the dual vector field (
E,B
). We start from the idea that each material object manifests itself in space by continuously emitting—at a rate proportional to its rest mass—massless and energy less granular entities carrying data that, besides referring to the position and the mass of its emitter, refer to its electric charge and to its velocity. Because they transport nothing else than information, we call these entities that—relative to an inertial reference frame—are rushing away with the speed of light “informatons”. The idea that an EM field is an expanding cloud of informatons emitted by an electrically charged object leads, in particular, to the insight that the electric field vector
E
and the magnetic field vector
B
respectively characterize the density of the flow of electric information and the density of the cloud of magnetic information at an arbitrary point in an EM field. And that the electromagnetic interactions can be explained as the reaction of a (moving) point charge on the disturbance of its proper EM field by the EM field that in its direct vicinity is created and maintained by other field sources.
