How Can Force Density Stretches Out To Infinity In Space?

A single frequency in the frequency domain stretches out in the time domain as a wave from negative infinity to positive infinity.  Frequency and time are orthogonal conjugate pair with Fourier transform.

In a similar way, energy oscillations in the time dimension stretches out in space dimension as force density from negative infinity to positive infinity.  Energy density oscillations in time and force density in space are orthogonal conjugate pair, also using Fourier transform and, assuming that the force is moving at light speed, c.  With light speed, time, t is replace by space, x.

Because,

E=F.x=F.ct

where E is energy density, F is force density, and c is light speed, a constant.  Oscillations in E is then E per unit time,

Et=F.c

energy density oscillations in the frequency domain is transformed to force density multiplied by light speed in the time domain.  That is 

EinfFourierF.cint

but space x,

x=ct

So,

EinfFourierF.c2inx

and F, force density stretches from negative infinity to positive infinity in space, x.  The c2 constant reminds us of,

2ψt2=c22ψx2

and for a wave that wraps around x,

2ψt2=(ic)22ψx2

2ψt2=c22ψx2

OK?  Fourier transform comes about naturally as we consider oscillation frequency.  Time stretches out into space when we assume light speed.  Indeed we have previously,

E=ψ=ψx=F

when both Fourier and the wave equation are to apply simultaneously.  The negative sign is the result of the wave wrapping around x, where cic.

What happened to c2?  But first, what is Fourier transform?  Until next time...
