... have the potential to cancel each other out when they overlap, which is something that EM waves don't do (or do they?). Is the GWB simply what's left over after such cancellation effects? Depends on what you mean by "cancel". EM waves, like all waves, form interference patterns where ...

Thanks, Art, for the references! Interesting stuff. I read The Illustrated Man as a teenager in the mid '60s, but sad to say I don't remember any of it. Ok, so now I have a (re)reading assignment.
