If it did, it would be inundated with nonsense. In mainstream physics, light is an EM wave, and electric waves do not travel through magnetic fields or vice versa. | |
| Aug 16, 2019 at 17:01 | comment | added | Nico Brenner | @G.Smith if light is an electromagnetic radiation, it could be interpreted that either there's an "eletric wave" traveling through a "magnetic field", or vice versa, depending on the direction you want to assume or that you observe. It would also in a way be a nice fit with Newton's third law. | |

| Aug 16, 2019 at 0:20 | comment | added | G. Smith | Are you suggesting that electromagnetic radiation (light) propagates through electromagnetic radiation (CMB microwaves)? Doesn’t that seem problematic? | |
