...empty space can propagate quantum waves travelling with the speed of light. Elementary particles, such as electrons, protons, are made of spherical standing wave patterns, a Space Resonance, similar to the waves on a drumhead or a string. That is, all the matter in the Universe is made of waves in empty space and nothing more! All the "material" properties of matter and its "fields" are only schaumkommen (Schroedinger's words) - they're only appearances
Prof. Carver Mead, an engineer at Cal-Tech investigated the e-m consequences of the WSM in his 2000 book 'Collective Electrodynamics' [13]. He recognized that the electron is not a point particle but a wave structure, so that the approximations of Maxwell's Equations, especially magnetism, do not work when dimensions approach quantum sizes. He used the measured effect of wave structure at low temperatures (termed the Quantum Hall-effect) that the magnetic flux f in a closed loop of current takes only quantized values: Flux = nf, where n is an integer. This is because the waves of the circulating electrons must join together in phase, otherwise they cancel each other. He derived a vector potential to correct the flawed magnetic terms of Maxwell Equations. His book, very popular in Silicon Valley, shows correct ways to solve the electromagnetics of transistor circuits. MIT awarded him two prizes. Mead has begun a new field of Natural Electrodynamics to supplement the former work-horse, Maxwell's Equations.
Physical objects are not in space, but these objects are spatially extended (as fields). In this way the concept 'empty space' loses its meaning. ... The field thus becomes an irreducible element of physical description, irreducible in the same sense as the concept of matter (particles) in the theory of Newton. ... The physical reality of space is represented by a field whose components are continuous functions of four independent variables - the co-ordinates of space and time. Since the theory of general relativity implies the representation of physical reality by a continuous field, the concept of particles or material points cannot play a fundamental part, nor can the concept of motion. The particle can only appear as a limited region in space in which the field strength or the energy density are particularly high. (Albert Einstein, Metaphysics of Relativity, 1950)

The fact that all matter is essentially waveform seems to be the one obvious thing that guys with PhDs from Ivy League schools overlook.

I have posted quite a bit about Col. Tom Bearden's research into Maxwell's original equations, before others modified them, to no avail. My posts have either been ignored or pooh-poohed.

To be honest, I don't really trust that spaceandmotion.com website, so I wanted to read the source material written by Einstein for context, in the citation above (Albert Einstein, Metaphysics of Relativity, 1950). I'm having a little trouble finding that, can anybody help me find a link to that?

That's the right date, author, and quote...but I still don't know where they got the cited title "Metaphysics of Relativity" from, I wonder if that's an error?

Time and again the passion for understanding has led to the illusion that man is able to comprehend the objective world rationally, by pure thought, without any empirical foundations—in short, by metaphysics.

The beginning of the quote, "Physical objects . . . the coordinates of space and time." doesn't appear to be in the Scientific American article, however.

The editors of SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN have asked me to write about my recent work which has just been published. It is a mathematical investigation concerning the foundations of field physics.
