An objection sometimes raised to the
teleconnection is that it says that light from
distant astronomical objects cannot be treated as
a classical e.m. wave, and hence implies that
Maxwell's equations do not hold in empty space.
Responding that Maxwell's equations apply to the
measurement of a test charge, and that by
definition this means that they apply when space
is not empty seems to be unconvincing to many
physicists.

Why is this subtext even meaningful?

No "vacuum" is never empty, it is seething with
short-lived charged particles, the so called "energy
of the vacuum", thus a light wave in space is never
"lonely", so it is never in some context where
Maxwell's equations fail to apply.

Did you mean something different than what you
wrote?

No. Remember this is a prediction of a model in which the standard
mystique of the energy of the vacuum does not hold.
