Abstract

We review the stochastic (S.E.D.) and quantum (Q.E.D.) electrodynamic formalisms describing the free electromagnetic field. We show that, in spite of their close resemblance, there is a profound difference between a description which considers the zeropoint field to be real and one which considers photons to be real; the former is local while the latter is nonlocal.
