No. Gravity is self-perpetuating as well, if you go that way. Does it mean that it will “generate itself again and again”?

What it does mean in scientific terms, is that it’s a potential in a field.

Like a slope. Does a slope “generate itself again and again”? A slope never changes, it “is” what you know it is: namely, a potential inside the topology field of the ground… just like an electromagnetic static field, just like a gravity field. You “fall” into gravity, you “fall” into a slope, you “fall” into a magnetic field.

It’s not because you don’t see the electromagnetic topology field, that it isn’t there. It is there. And what you see when you open your eyes, is its fluctuation.

Just like you hear not the atmosphere pressure (a barometer is built for that), but its fluctuation, and you call that “sound”.

When the sound is moving around, it’s bouncing on things, like a wave in the water is bouncing on walls. So an electromagnetic wave is doing the same: it’s bouncing.

The electromagnetic wave will create an electric current into metals, that will generate an electromagnetic field exactly opposed to the cause that started it. And that, will bounce the wave, back to where it comes from.

So nothing is “self-perpetuating”, it’s just a bad understanding of what’s going on.
