When the displacement current term is added to Maxwell's equations, the two 'bridge' equations (Faraday's law and the modified fourth equation) create a self-sustaining feedback loop: a changing magnetic field generates an electric field, which then changes and generates a new magnetic field, which changes again and generates another electric field, and so on indefinitely.

Evidence Quote

Faraday's law says a changing magnetic field creates an electric field. Maxwell's new term says a changing electric field creates a magnetic field. They point straight at each other.
