Fascinating. So ZPE is not associated with the mechanism for EM wave propagation through a vacuum?

That's not what I said. What I said was that ZPE is not the medium in which EM propogation occurs. ZPE is a consequence of QED/QCD, not the other way around.

I'm not trying to criticize, I'm trying to understand. Can you give me a thumbnail sketch of EM wave propagation?
