Charles Chandler said:
BB radiation is definitely photonic (i.e., EM waves). The distinctive thing about it is that it is a smooth continuum of frequencies, rather than the spectral lines that we get from electron uptake. Also, the power distribution is a bell curve, with a peak occurring at a frequency that is temperature-dependent.

 

This is backwards to Miles' theory. Photons are not E/M waves, E/M is caused by photons. Modern theory assumes that the E/M waves are fundamental and that we have an E/M spectrum. Miles' maintains that the photons are what are fundamental and what we have is a photon spectrum. The photons are quantized due strictly to the spin mechanics, but the E/M spectrum is smooth because it is the result of the summed field. It is photons that drive ions and it is the driven ions that create the E/M fields.
