© Science Admins What is charge? The idea of attraction is non-mechanical. This means all attractions must be only apparent--the result of complex motions. We can now re-define the charge field as a bombarding field only. It is always repulsive; never attractive. It is caused by radiation of messenger photons, which I am going to re-dub B-photons (for bombarding photons). The repulsion is caused by an old-fashioned force by contact. Of course this means that the B-photons are not virtual: they have energy, mass equivalence, and even radius. We have a small electron and a large proton (to simplify). Let us say that the radiation from the electron is relatively negligible, so that we can look only at the radiation from the proton. The proton is emitting a bombarding field that tends to drive off all particles that come near. But it will drive off larger particles more successfully than smaller particles, since the smaller particles will encounter a smaller cross-section of the field. Also remember that any other proton that enters the field of our first proton will also be emitting its own B-field. What about current in a wire? Free electrons travel at high speed in a conducting wire, or any conductor, because the B-field is moving in only one direction in that substance. The B-field acts as a river, moving the electrons along by direct contact. This B-field river can be created in any number of ways, either by having lots of radiating particles at one end of the wire and few or none at the other, or by directionalizing the B-field through the shape of the molecules in the substance.
