All explanations referring to lines of force or just magnetic lines are explanations that claim that magnetism acts on its own and does something it can't do.
It would appear that it is you who have formed a hypothesis, therefore it is you who must provide empirical evidence to support that hypothesis. Do you have any empirical evidence to support this tacit assertion?
According to quantum physics which I have no way of testing empirically, energy quanta in the form of photons are emitted from atoms when electrons in an atom fall from a higher energy level to a lower one.
This is the hole in your argument:QuoteWilf READ AND UNDERSTAND WHAT I SAID 05/08/2010 22:51:26 !!!!!All materials above absolute zero radiate electromagnetic energy in the form of photons as a result of the movement of the atoms and molecules. This radiation is called black body radiation and has a characteristic spectrum that depends on only the temperature of the material. This has nothing to do with electrons changing energy levels which is a different process altogether.see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_body for a bit more explanation

To JP & Bored ChemistThere are things I know through experience about physics - particularly when electricity and magnetism are concerned.There is one thing that I believe but can't prove.I believe that all light (including comparable radiation outside the visible spectrum) is transmitted by what are known as photons. This spectrum ranges from below the apparent temperature of the much cooled down residue of the Big Bang to beyond x-rays.I note the references to "Black Body Radiation". What strange emanation is provided by such a "Black Body" that does not consist of photons. How is it detected if photons are not involved? Is the "Black Body Radiaton" referred to different from the photon emissions I have been concentrating on? Does it consist of muons, pions, kayons, neutrinos or some other emanation that does not include photons?
