There you are, see. Another Viking moron that starts out at the "origo"
putting the E and M fields in phase. Little wonder you Quisling shitheads
never made anything but rowboats to invade Britain and paper clips.
Look at a capacitor, the current is NEVER in phase with the voltage.

"E(x,t) = Emax cos(kx - omega.t)
 B(x,t) = Bmax cos(kx - omega.t) "


That's where the guy fucks up.
E(x,t) = Emax cos(kx - omega.t)
B(x,t) = Bmax -sin(kx - omega.t)

BECAUSE sin^2 + cos^2 = 1^2 = 1 (by Pythagoras)
the energy is constant for all t and all x, and a photon IS energy,
the energy is contained in the fields.
It is never zero at any x or t, which is what has been drawn.
Making it zero violates conservation of energy, the photon would cease
to exist.
That is basic physics and basic math, boy, conservation of energy
and Pythagoras. Have a good fart while you deny it.

The "circular em wave" (shown with one component missing) actually is
a demonstration of the energy vector (which is constant in length for all x)
for plane wave.
A real circular wave would rotate the green y-z plane (wrong labelled as 
x-y) as well.
Even the fact that the guy labels his axes incorrectly tells me he is a
halfwit, tho' he is smarter than you, he does draw pretty pictures.
