>The electric and magnetic fields.
A wave is what something does. Not a thing.

They fall right out of maxwell's equations in a vacuum. Same for in a substance with nontrivial electric permittivity at the relevant frequency, but that derivation is a little more difficult. Considering we can have short capacitive antennas that pick up the electric field or long inductive antennas that pick up the magnetic field or tuned monopoles/dipoles that pick up both fields of a radio broadcast, I'd say the model fits reality relatively well. Look into the equations that that one early guy used to discover or experiment with radio waves if you're curious and/or want to replicate them.

That doesn't tell me what the "Wave" is nor what causes "it".

>The field of electrostatics is alive and well.
Where?
>Also look into the oil drop experiment, where the individual electric charge was first isolated and measured

An oil drop was isolated, but this "electric charge" you speak of is purely conceptual and no empirical evidence of it exists. A hovering oil drop in a field proves nothing except that the oil is altered by the field.

>You can buy a commercial electrometer if you're curious, such a device will measure the electric field across the probe
that doesn't tell me what an "electric field" is though.

>Unfortunately for your theory, the planet seems to be approximately neutral in charge. And yes, Gauss's law applies.

But that doesn't tell me what causes the charge or the field....

What proof and how is it original and "yours"?
