Re: EM Radiation Without a Source



Off the top, a salty suggestion from after TBB (the big bang)
11Na24 and 17Cl34 isomeric transitions with gamma radiation
from metastable excited nuclei.......(?)

Hi all:

I was having a discussion with a friend of mine who is an industrial
physicist and neither of us were current enough on our theory to answer the
following:

Do Maxwell's equations preclude the existence of electromagnetic
radiation that at some time in the past has not originated from an
accelerating charge (besides any vacuum fluctuations)? Could EM have been
created at the big bang without having first been "radiated" from a source.
Our guess was that this should have been possible.

Thanks's for any input.
