(This also answers the criticism that the natural and the artificial shouldn't be mixed. The discussion takes the view that “natural” and “artificial/technological” are the same thing – and explains HOW they are the same thing)
Let's begin with a statement I read recently, “Special relativity is the most fundamental, and thoroughly proven, theory in all physics.” I won’t question that but I will suggest that we consider quantum gravity (QG). There’s no theory of quantum gravity at present but modern physics seems to have little doubt that we will have a successful theory one day. Despite the enormous success of general relativity, that theory will require adjustments to fit in with QG. Quantum mechanics will also need modifications to fit in, as Einstein realized when he called it incomplete. In all history, there has never been a single theory that could be called 100% perfect in the sense that it explained every detail forever, and never needed refinements – and there will never be such a theory. Our period of history is no different and that other product of Einstein’s brain (special relativity) has brought great advances but must inevitably endure the same fate of being refined.
May I suggest possible modifications to the above theories – not to attempt to compete with quantum mechanics or the relativity theories but merely to demonstrate that refinements of them are conceivable.
First, quantum mechanics –
Reliance on bodily senses – extended to our technology – tells us things and events are distinct and separate. Acknowledging the correctness of this frame of reference means there are countless particles forming the cosmos. Recognizing the truth of a different point of view means these particles are unified by the action of advanced and retarded waves into one particle* - whether it be classified as a boson or fermion (or both). The interpretation of particles being in two or more places at once can be reinterpreted as being in one position i.e. unipositional, from the Latin ūnus meaning one. This unipositioned particle interferes with itself since it’s composed of self-intersecting Mobius strips which, because mass is united with spacetime, account for spacetime’s curvature. Unipositional quantum mechanics also means every particle is entangled with every other.
* "When we solve (19th-century Scottish physicist James Clerk) Maxwell's equations for light, we find not one but two solutions: a 'retarded' wave, which represents the standard motion of light from one point to another; but also an 'advanced' wave, where the light beam goes backward in time. Engineers have simply dismissed the advanced wave as a mathematical curiosity since the retarded waves so accurately predicted the behavior of radio, microwaves, TV, radar, and X-rays. But for physicists, the advanced wave has been a nagging problem for the past century."
("Physics of the Impossible" by Michio Kaku, 2009, Penguin Books, p. 276)
Second, addressing the subjects “non-causal” and “at once” –
All mass is composed of gravitational and electromagnetic waves, according to vector-tensor-scalar (VTS) geometry inspired by the title of Einstein's 1919 paper "Do gravitational fields play an essential role in the structure of elementary particles?" Both types of waves possess retarded and advanced components which cancel each other and entangle all masses. Wick rotation (time) is built into the Mobius strips and figure-8 Klein bottles composing (respectively) electromagnetism's photons and gravitation's gravitons. Therefore, all time (the entire past and present and future) is united into one thing just as all space and all mass are united into one thing. If time only passed rectilinearly - from past to present to future - the idea of waves travelling back in time would make no sense at all. But if time is curvilinear - with past, present, and future interconnected - time must be able to move from future to present to past.
(Unity of past/present/future may remove the issue of non-simultaneity – in special relativity – because the timing or sequence of events being different in different frames of reference can only exist if past/present/future are separate. The concepts of cause and effect are no longer separate when all periods of time are united, and everything can happen “at once”. This is similar to watching a DVD – every event on the DVD exists at once since the whole DVD exists but we’re only aware of sights and sounds occurring in each tiny fraction of a second.)
Third, proposing faster-than-light travel (a feature of special relativity is light-speed as the universal speed limit).
The Riemann hypothesis, proposed in 1859 by the German mathematician Georg Friedrich Bernhard Riemann, is fascinating. It seems to fit these ideas on various subjects in physics very well. The Riemann hypothesis doesn’t just apply to the distribution of prime numbers but can also apply to the fundamental structure of the mathematical universe’s space-time. Cosmic maths incorporates
1) topology (the two-dimensional Mobius strip and figure-8 Klein bottle which is immersed [not embedded] in three dimensions),
2) BITS aka electronics’ BInary digiTS, or base 2 maths, which encode the topology,
3) the real and imaginary numbers of Wick rotation (time),
4) vector-tensor-scalar geometry, describing interaction between photons and gravitons, and
5) the Mobius Matrix, combining the topological Mobius and mathematics' Matrix to explain higher dimensions.
How does the Riemann Hypothesis support Faster-Than-Light travel? Answer – Using the axiom that there indeed are infinitely many nontrivial zeros on the critical line (calculations have confirmed the hypothesis to be true to over 13 trillion places), the critical line is identified as the y-axis of Wick rotation (stated above to be the time component of space-time). This suggests the y-axis is literally infinite and that infinity equals zero. In this case, it is zero distance in time and space. Travelling zero distance is done instantly and is therefore faster-than-light travel.
It must be stressed again that I’m not saying the above ideas are either correct or incorrect. I’m merely seeking to show that modifications to special relativity, general relativity, and quantum mechanics are indeed possible!

Answer
Gravitational, electrostatic and Planck’s constant change value at relativistic velocities.
March 4, 2023, By Samuel Lewis Reich, slrcxh53@gmail.com, Tribco Inc.
Abstract:
Proofs that the gravitational. electrostatic constant and Planck's constants change value at relativistic velocities in equations applied to particles with REST mass. When in equations applied to things moving at the speed of light, they are constants even at relativistic velocities.
Givens:
The link at the end is to a PDF file containing original proofs that the axial and gravitational Doppler shifts changes observed time and distance. Others came to that conclusion also.
For objects with a test mass the frequency(f) ratio of the axial Doppler shift is
Ka=f’/f=t/t’=l/l’=[1+(v/c) cos q] implying the that of time (t) and distance (l) =1/[1+(v/c) cos q]; where ‘ is the observed, v is positive for blue shift and negative for red shift. The angle between v and a line of sight to the observer (could be and instrument) is q.
Gravitational and Electrostatic Constants.
The formular for gravitational force is Fg=G (ma/ra)(mb/rb). For the case where the observer is much further than ra or rb away the a and b can be dropped because Doppler shifts for both are the same. The observed masses have a change with velocity of Doppler shift of 1/Kt=1/transverse Doppler shift for objects with a rest mass and 1 for other things. Force is
Energy(E)/time (t).
Therefore: G=(E/t)/(m/r)^2 ; ^=exponent E=mf cc (mf=mass transferred by the force). Since we are just interested in units not values.
G=r^2/(mt)
Because m, t, and r have the same transverse Doppler shift Kt can be ignore or set to one. However m has an axial Doppler shift of one (1). The axial Doppler shift of t and r = 1/Ka.
Therefore the observed G=G’=[r^2/(mt)] Ka/(Ka Ka)= 1/[1+(v/c) cos q].
The result is the gravitational constant varies with and q at relativistic velocities. Since electric charge has a mass and force between electric charges has the same equation, the electro static constant also varies as 1/[1+(v/c) cos q.
Planck’s constant h:
E=hf
h=E/f for light E and f have the same Doppler shifts = Kt Ka and h is a constant.
For things with a rest mass:
But when applied to particles with an a rest mass as does the uncertainty principle E has a Doppler shift = Kt and f =Ka Kt. The result is the Doppler shift of h is h’/h= 1/Ka.
The uncertainty equation (let # be the symbol for uncertainty): h/4Pi = #E#t; therefore
h’/(4 Pi)= #(E Kt) (#t/(Ka Kt))=#E#t (Kt^2)(Ka). Here h is a function of q and v.

time and distance like the transverse does:

My personal view regard new practice is, any exploring depend on scientist or researcher. For innovation, you needs to think about your attributes first like in a situation what is the problem you identity and what are the attributes you can use to find your answer and finally, "how will you express that". That will be new approach.
Keep consider one things, you will never find so many literature on application of new method the reasons behind this is, durning study design most of the researchers find "what method mostly use world wide as world wide application will give researcher to know about the question and objective set in study. A research take long time for accomplishment and as far I observed, except trail none wants to go for that.

Question

This morning, I found a couple of paragraphs in a book I had published a year ago which made me wonder if the EmDrive, EM Drive or radio frequency (RF) resonant cavity thruster should be renamed the Possible Engine. I don't know if these are more deep thoughts or if it's just my subconscious telling me I have a secret crush on Supergirl 📷 but here are those 2 paragraphs -
"British engineer Roger Shawyer proposed the EmDrive, EM Drive or radio frequency (RF) resonant cavity thruster in 1999 and it's claimed to use patented microwave technology which converts electrical energy into thrust by amplification of the microwaves creating pressure which drives the vehicle's front forwards. Light is one form of electromagnetism – microwaves are another (so they also obey James Clerk Maxwell's electromagnetic laws and their solution for both retarded and advanced components of the waves).* So some of the microwaves are advanced, and travelling back in time.^  To this action, there is - agreeing with Isaac Newton's 3rd law of motion - an equal and opposing reaction i.e. a thrust forward in time. Since space can never be regarded separately from time, an object in space is affected and the forward thrust in time could power a spacecraft through the void via the EM Drive.
* Gravitational waves must also have advanced and retarded portions. Einstein's equations say gravitational fields carry enough information about electromagnetism to allow Maxwell's equations to be restated in terms of these gravitational fields. This was discovered by the mathematical physicist George Yuri Rainich. [George Yuri Rainich, Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, 27, 106 - Rainich, G. Y. (1925)]
^ The attached "Topological Propulsion Through Space-time" should explain how advanced waves are indeed possible.
"What are the consequences if gravitational fields play an essential role in the structure of elementary particles,** and if gravitational waves can travel back in time? Then the equal and opposite reaction providing the forward thrust in time could not only "power a spacecraft through the void", but it could power anything with gravitational waves in its composition. This includes giving controlled flight to Superman and Supergirl, without any jetpacks - acting in a manner similar to the proposed method of EmDrive, superbeings would be powered through the air."
** The section about vector-tensor-scalar geometry in "Topological Propulsion ..." explains the relation between gravitational fields and elementary particles.

Relevant answer
Answer
I received an email today from Prof. Zeb Rocklin (School of Physics, Georgia Tech, USA) which agrees with you. He wrote, "As I understand it, the "Impossible Engine" purports to start at rest and then move forward without exchanging any momentum with its environment. That is indeed impossible in a flat spacetime. It's not impossible in a curved spacetime, but the effect is incredibly small and not, as I understand it, consistent with the empirical claims surrounding the "Impossible Engine"."
This is how I replied -
Your understanding of the Impossible Engine sounds totally correct to me. It would also apply to what I wrote about how the Engine could work. The advanced waves providing forward thrust according to Newton's 3rd Law of Motion need to be amplified trillions - maybe trillions of trillions - of times to provide the desired effect. Amplification could be achieved through the theories of Max Tegmark, MIT professor of cosmology, that the universe is literally composed of mathematics. Building on his belief, let's say electronics' binary digits (BITS) of 1 and 0 - aka base 2 maths - are the ultimate composition of, and are used to program/code for/ "draw", Mobius strips. Then two Mobius strips can unite to form a figure-8 Klein bottle. Trillions of Mobius strips can form a photon, and trillions of more complex figure-8 Klein bottles can form the more complex graviton. (The Klein is immersed, not embedded, in the 3rd dimension - a photograph of a stapler is a 2-dimensional immersion of a 3-dimensional stapler, and an immersion may have self-intersections; embeddings have no self-intersections.) If the whole universe is projected from 2D (as proposed by the holographic-universe theory), then both gravitational and electromagnetic waves must be projections from 2D, too i.e. from the Mobius strip which is made up of binary digits. Therefore, the range of frequencies (aka bandwidth) called gravitational and electromagnetic waves is composed of BITS. The universe is a mass of this gravitational-electromagnetic unification (and there is nothing except sufficient bandwidth). Since the advanced part of waves is digital and made of BITS, the advanced waves can indeed be amplified by electronics’ transistors.

I know that the electric field inside a charged conducting shell is zero. However, what if we accelerate the shell uniformly? Does the charge distribution remain uniform? If not, is it possible for the new charge distribution to allow some electric field to penetrate the conducting shell?
I guess that the shell still resists the electric fields to be penetrated inside it even if the shell is accelerated, however, I cannot prove it.
Relevant answer
Answer
There is a discrepancy in the definition of rigid motion in this thread.
According to Michael D. Foegelle:
>>They assume a shell with uniformly distributed charge undergoing "rigid" motion. I.e. the charges are stuck in place in the shell.<<
The concept of rigid motion of the charged spherical shell as defined in the paper suggested in my comment is as follows:
>> Now consider a spherical shell of charge undergoing rigid hyperbolic motion. By rigid motion we mean motion such that, at any moment, there is an instantaneous rest frame in which all parts of the body are at rest, and the physical dimensions of the body in each such frame are constant (i.e. the same in all successive instantaneous rest frames), see for example Steane (2012)<<
In this definition of rigid motion, there is no mention of the specific form of the distribution of a charge.
I wonder if the second definition implies that the distribution of charges is fixed.

Inertia, by definition, is a concept of measuring the “change”, the resistance, in the “natural state” of a body in motion. Is it thus correct to suggest that the idea of a “natural state” is exactly what a theory of everything would entail, and thus would not include the idea of “inertia”, would not include the deliberate man-made “changing” of bodies in motion, bodies in motion that would ideally primarily yield to fundamental field forces? Is not “inertia” a man-made theoretical concept to highlight how we are able to “resist” bodies in motion, to change the natural course of mass, as a “disruptor” within an otherwise ideal “theory of everything” manifest as the natural state of reality? The big question is then, “can using the idea of inertia provide for a link between the most fundamental field forces of gravity and electromagnetism” in achieving a grand unified field force theory of time and space?

"Yes, which makes the idea of "inertia" a broad-spectrum "manner" of examination, does it not? "Inertia" applies to anything, can apply to anything. It's a "manner" of examination. The "manner", that "manner" of inertia, is in question, as ultimately it represents an idea that challenges more fundamental properties of time and space "we" as humans are not naturally conscious of. We are conscious of push-pull, sure, and so we determine ideas of "work", "effort", and "force" in our own physical structuring within that reality we are trying to understand in such a manner, "yet"......there is more, is there not, more than "push-pull inertial logic to the explanation of time and space? There clearly is.
Inertia is a "concept" of "resistance" a body prescribes by our observation of that resistance we physically force ourselves to fumble through space and time with, "and then" construct theories further with that fumbling. "Yet" we are given hints on that journey with which we can be more intellectual "with" as opposed to physical, as per our approach to the primary axioms we are seeking to calculate.
Is inertia a "field force"? Seriously, no.
Does "inertia" exist between the fundamental field forces?
Seriously, no.
If it did, it would be its own field force separate to everything.
Yet, it was our start point in the middle ground of examining reality, was, and is, it not?
Inertia is like a natural flaw we have in being human....we strive, we work, we use force....yet that is a subjective reference of control. Reality exists, and here we are examining what exists from our inertial reference we seem to be applying to reality, to time and space. Its a natural thing for us to do, sure."
MY REPLY:
I have italicized phraseology to which I strongly object on the basis of the diction, that is, the use of the English language is objectionable. The generalized reason why this observation is being made is that the authorial voice you use conflates two different domains or systems of meaningful language: (2) scientific language, terminology, and expression; and (2) discursive English prose when applied to common situations in which nonscientific yet nonetheless important matters are being discussed.
One of the important and basic key words in the passage cited above which is also in the discussion question is "inertia." Although the cited passage occurred more than two years ago, and your perspectives may have changed since then, I would like simply to express my objection to the way little or no distinction is made between the word "inertia" is employed by Isaac Newton in Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica and the ordinary dictionary meaning of the word "inertia," which is synonymous with a word such as "lethargy," implying an absence of movement ascribed to a living entity (human being, nonhuman animal). Quite obviously, Newton uses the word "inertia" with specific reference to physical bodies that belong to the cosmos of the solar system. His First Law calls attention to the fact that these planetary bodies are continuously in motion following their orbital paths around the sun because no competing body forces them to alter their accelerated movements, which are based on their respective masses. In contradistinction to this denotative meaning of the word "inertia" in Newton's Principia, the denotative meaning of the same word in ordinary discourse is, as the above cited excerpt from your reply asserts, has negative connotations, which may be regarded as "a natural flaw," in your words. In my view, it is a huge mistake to attempt to personify Newtonian inertial motion by drawing a false analogy with the familiar everyday usage.
Other examples of what I consider to be inappropriate diction could be adduced (please see italicized phrases in the above cited excerpt).
Thank you for your kind attention to these belated comments, but I did not know about this RG discussion thread question until just now.

I need some help. I am involved in calculating numerically the potential and electric field solutions in the 3D space of the classical problem of a disk with radius r0, biased at potential V0, surrounded by a circular crown of a flat dielectric (from r0 to rb), and this in turn by a flat infinite conductor at V=0. The three elements are located, for convenience, in the Z=0 plane, and the disk axis coincides with the Z axis (angular or acimutal symmetry).
I realize this is a problem involving 3 boundary conditions in separate domains, and with 'hybrid' character, because in the dielectric the only thing we can say is that the vertical component of the electric field (Ez), or potential derivative in the z direction (dV/dz), is null (by smmetry). This is what literature considers an "triple integral equation system with hybrid boundary conditions".
I follow the guidelines proposed in books and formulate the solution for the potencial V(r, z=0) in the dielectric region in terms of series of Bessel functions.
My problem is that I am able to solve the series coefficients for V defining a domain for the Bessel funtions up to a distance rh > rb (well inside the grounded conductor), without using the hybrid boundary condition dV/dz=0. In fact, the problem is that my solution meets well the condition V(r)= V0 (for 0 < r < r0), and V(r)=0 (for rb < r < rh), but does not meet the condition dV/dz = 0 in r0 < r <rb. If I try to impose this condition, apparently the only solution is the trivial one, null. What am I doing wrong?
(I know the analytical solutions of the triple integral equation system proposed by Duffy for the so-called A(k) function, but I wanted to formulate the problem in terms of discrete series, and not continuos functions). Can someone help me with this?

Wavelength of light is an obvious factor, but this is not my point of question
Some specific questions are
  • What can be molecular/atomic level mechanism behind temperature and density dependence of refractive index?
  • refractive index is square root of product of relative (electric) permittivity and relative (magnetic) permeability of a medium. How a ceramic/glass/polymer structure can attain high relative permittivity (higher dielectric constant means more polar groups in polymers, more charge imbalance in ceramics) and high relative permeability (aromatic groups and ferromagnetic ligand centers in polymers, second one also for ceramics) without losing transparency?
  • how phase angle of complex permittivity and permeability of a medium depends upon its structure (e.g. factors mentioned above, bulk of chain and steric effect in polymers, photon propagation and phonon-mediated dipole oscillation of ceramics, chemical substitutions in ceramic structure)?
  • Why some atoms elevate refractive index of ceramics and some substituent groups elevate refractive index of polymers more than others? While atomic/ionic polarizability can be explained from fajan's rule and pearson's HSAB theory, and magnetic behaviors can be explained from magnetic spin, electronic configuration (and spin exchange between nearby atoms); have there been any comprehensive work combining all these aspects to predict refractive index elevation?
Relevant answer
Answer
The refractive index of polymers directly related to the polarizability and depends on the wavelength of light.
If a material is structurally isotropic, then it is optically isotropic, and a single refractive index typifies the refraction behavior.
In crystals and anisotropic materials, the refractive index takes different values along different principal axes, and the material is said to be doubly refracting.
The molecular weight of polymers affects their refractive index, but its effect is not significant. In some polymers, as the molecular weight increases, the refractive index increases. For example, for Poly(ethylene oxides), when the molecular weight change from 303 to 9523, the refractive index increases 0.8% (from 1.44592 to 1.45392). While, for polycarbonate, as the molecular weight increases (from 228 to 7196), the refractive index decreases 0.95% (from 1.6021 to 1.5868).
As a result, the relation between refractive index and structural and physical properties is complicated.
I have attached one text about refractive index of polymers. I hope it would be useful.

THE ROLE OF SIMULATION AND GAMING IN ACQUISITION STUDENTS’ COMPETENCES FOR THEIR FUTURE CAREERS
In that regard, “Simulation and Gaming”, as active methodologies, in the context of Applied Linguistics, particularly as regards Teaching, entails an innovative approach or methodology, which makes students need to argue, express their feelings and ideas, and defend their point of view, thus practicing and developing mental and emotional processes that will activate whenever he or she submit to a real communication situation, which, furthermore, develops the objectives and makes them acquire the target competences for their future professions.
Progressing in the exposed sense, Hussain and Coleman (2014) explore the theme of field leaders in serious games and professionals in entertainment games, who share practical guidelines and lessons from their own experiences researching and developing learning games. According, then, to Hussain and Coleman (2014), the method often associated with instructional system design has become known as the ADDIE. ADDIE is the acronym for the five phases in the model: Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate.
Analysis is the starting point for instructional design. Much as a software developer conducts an analysis to determine the requirements for software, an instructional designer conducts an analysis to define the performance issues and gather data for potential solutions. Various types of analyses may be conducted, but analyses of both the learners and the learning problem are essential. Learner analysis focuses on understanding what learners know, what preferences and biases they might have, and what specific performance will be expected of them, providing information to guide decisions about the content, learning strategies, and assessment approaches. Based on this information, for example, the design of a learning intervention for an experienced air traffic controller, who must demonstrate mastery of emergency procedures in a real-time simulation would likely differ in strategy, complexity, and type of feedback from instruction designed for a novice who will be expected to explain how aircraft are spaced in routine and emergency conditions. Other important analyses include content analysis (working with subject matter experts (SMEs) to assess what must be taught), context analysis, (where the product will be used physically and the curriculum in which it will be used), and task analysis (which also requires SMEs – possibly different ones).
Design and development are closely linked as the design process includes feedback loops to refine and modify instruction based on observed outcomes. Initial design requires an understanding of the subject matter (i.e., target domain) and the science of learning (e.g., how individuals learn, strategies to optimize learning and reduce interference). In the first case for the expert air traffic controller, a learning objective might be “the learner will safely manage the flight pattern during a storm and subsequent power outage.” For the novice, the learning objectives might be “the learner will provide a plan for spacing aircraft during a storm” and “the learner will provide the rationale for the distances represented in their plan.” These objectives will drive the design of the learning interventions, including the complexity of tasks, pace, and frequency and type of feedback.
To ensure subject matter knowledge, designers work closely with subject matter experts to create meaningful learning experiences. This partnership must recognize the strengths of both the designers and subject matter experts to focus on what each does best. While experts are good at what they do, designers cannot and should not expect them to always know the best way to teach specific skills. Subject matter experts may not be aware of science of learning best practices that address how people learn, best practices for feedback, or strategies to manage cognitive load that must be factored into good design. Subject matter experts also may not fully recall what it is like to learn something as a beginner or they may be constricted in thinking only of how they learned something. Subject matter experts are essential, to help the instructional designer define the tasks, working environment, and common errors learners make.
During implementation, learning products are delivered to students and data is collected to determine how well the intervention achieved its intended outcomes and to identify opportunities for improvement.
Evaluation captures both formative and summative evaluation activities. Summative evaluation occurs at the end of the instructional intervention to determine the extent to which the learning objectives were achieved.

Dear Sirs,
I think many knows the ideas due to Jules Henri Poincaré that the physics laws can be formally rewriten as a space-time curvature or as new geometry solely without forces. It is because the physics laws and geometry laws only together are verified in the experiment. So we can arbitrary choose the one of them.
Do you know any works, researchers who realized this idea. I understand that it is just fantasy as it is not proved in the experiment for all forces excepting gravitation.
Do you know works where three Newtons laws are rewritten as just space-time curvature or 5D space curvature or the like without FORCES. Kaluzi-Klein theory is only about electricity.

📷Preston Guynn. added a reply on June 19, 2019:
Force, mass, and energy are a parallel set of descriptions of the effects of special relativistic Thomas Precession. All matter and space, and their interactions are described with distance in three dimensions, time, and their derivatives.
Newton's first law of motion is , "Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it."
Yet the concept of motion requires at least two objects, and if there are two objects, then there is always an external force, which is gravitation.
So the idea of rewriting Newton's laws without force (or mass or energy) is good, but it should be extended to incorporate the most basic non-linear effects of motion in space time, which are special relativity and Thomas Precession.
See my article describing the recent discovery of the effects of Thomas Precession the particle and galactic scales.

The general term of the current reads
J_total=J_conduction+J_Displacement.
Where in most cases J_C obeys Ohms law and J_D=epsilon dE/dt.
Usually when a capacitor is disconnected from the electric circuit the the condition current is zero and so is J_t=0.
What will happened if I now intentionally adding a time dependent electric field between the capacitor plates (not sure if it's possible so it may be considered as a though experiment)?
My thought is that J_C will cancel somehow the displacement current in order to maintain J_t=0 since there can't be current outside the capacitor.
Is this analysis true or false? am I missing something? What is the meaning of conduction current in this case?
Relevant answer
Answer
Perhaps we need to define "conduction current". Conduction through what?
"Nevertheless, the question is hypothetical, and it's intention is to understand the relation between conduction and displacement currents in situation where they sum up to zero."
This implies the presence of a "conduction current" equal and opposite in sign at a particular node of the circuit, unless both currents = 0.
What is the nature of this cancelling conduction current and what is the circuit path?
As for the example of propagating EMF, the energy is being shuttled between an electric field and a magnetic field. A magnetic field is the result of a current.
Note also that the time average of the RF EMF is =0.
In the attached drawing, the electric field produced by the ac source will appear between the inner plates of the capacitor, not between the outer plates. in order create an electric field between the outer plates requires that electric charge must be added to and/or removed from one or both plates. A movement of charge is a current. Even a van de Graaf generator physically adds charge to the electrode, although the mechanism is not a conductor.

Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Stefano ~
There appears to be, in your counter-arguments to what I’ve been trying to say throughout this discussion, an implicit unwarranted assumption, that electromagnetic energy can be transported only by an electromagnetic wave. But Maxwell’s equations do not warrent that assumption. As we all know, an electromagnetic wave is a very special kind of solution with in which E and B are orthogonal to each other and oscillate; they are, as you say, correlated in a special way.
In general, energy can be transported in many ways. That is a large part of what Physics is about. Wave motion is only one particular kind of situation encountered in physics problems. Energy in motion is momentum. Momentum is moving energy. That is basic physics, of which an electromagnetic phenomenon is only one particular instantiation.
Energy and momentum are observer-dependent quantities, that constitute a four-vector; they transform according to the Lorentz transformations.
Consider a very simple electromagnetic situation: a static uniform linear charge distribution. In the free space surrounding it there is an E but no B. There is an energy density but no momentum density (ie, no ‘flow’ of energy). Now transform to an moving observer. For that observer, there is a current as well as a charge. There is a B as well as an E. For that observer there is momentum as well as energy in the free space around the line. The Lorentz transformation tells us that. Momentum is moving energy – there is an energy flux density. Maxwell’s equation tell us that that energy flux density is given by E×B. In denying that you are violating either the Lorentz transformations or Maxwell’s equations, or both!
Long ago various contributers to this discussion wrote convincingly about an electron beam, in these terms. Unfortunately, those contributions are now practically inaccessible. (How many times can one be expected to keep clicking on ‘show previous answers’?!)

Yes, that is correct. However in the longer paper I argue that C and D must also exist in GR.

Hello,
I would like to know how to deduce the amount of current flowing through a solid volume , when current is applied in the form of current density 'J' (A/m2).
Example: As shown in the image attached, the solid body is a rectangular volume which acts as a coil in a electromagnet. In the simulation model I am building , the current flowing through the coil has to be input in terms of current density. The total volume is about 4.5 x e-6 m3 . A current density of 1e6 A/m2 is applied to the body.
As current density J=I/A , if applied to a 2D surface area, it is pretty straight forward to calculate the current flowing through the area.
What is the formulation to calculate the current in amperes for the volume?
Relevant answer
Answer
in the equation J = I / A, I is aligned normal to the area A. If the direction of the current is known, one has to choose a surface that is perpendicular to the direction of the current.
If your picture represents a usual coil, then the four parts form a closed circuit. The cross-sections of each of the four parts seem to be of equal magnitude, so you have to choose one of them as area A.
In exercises like this, you don't have to worry about the corners. Here, the actual cross-section is larger but you can treat the corners as if the current would change the direction in one step.

Hi folks,
I am going to find the band structure of a 1D photonic crystal waveguide by COMSOL. There is an example in application library for 2D photonic crystal with a 2D geometry. In the example the refractive index of materials are frequency dependent, and a nonlinear formulation is used to normalize the field in a unit cell and finding the frequency and so updating refractive indices. It is exactly the point that I need to understand completely, since material dispersion is important for me, too. However, I can not figure out how the nonlinear formulation for the field normalization works and how I can utilize the same principle for a 3D geometry. I would be really grateful if somebody can help me. 
Thanks for your attention,
Zeinab
Relevant answer
Answer
You can compute the photonic band structure of a 1D photonic crystal in 3D geometry in complete analogy with the example you mention from COMSOL's application library (Application ID:798). The main difference is in the normalization integral, which must be defined over volume instead of area and considering all components of the E field, instead of only the out-of-plane field Ez:
V = intop1(1)
nE = intop1(realdot(ewfd2.Ex,ewfd2.Ex) + realdot(ewfd2.Ey,ewfd2.Ey) + realdot(ewfd2.Ez,ewfd2.Ez))/V
In which case the ODE is still defined as:
1 [V^2/m^2] - nE
All the other instructions from the example should be relatively easy to extrapolate to 3D geometry. There is nevertheless one caveat as COMSOL Technical Support told me:
"What is less analogous however is how the solver defaults work. As it is a 3D model, you get a segregated solver. This is more suited for weakly coupled problems - in contrast, your global equation is only controlled by the coupling itself, making it singular when solved in its own step."
You must therefor us a fully coupled solver:
"Study 2 > Solver Configurations > Solution 2 > Stationary Solver 1, and select Fully Coupled."
I hope this can help you (if it not to late) or others to come.

The transformation of two "colliding" photons into a pair of particle / anti-particle was experimentally observed already. But the observed particles are always electrically charged.
1. If such a transformation takes place in vacuum, and the pair annihilates after a short time, then no interaction with other real particles occurs (apart from virtual particles in vacuum). If under these circumstances a pair of magnetically charged particles were generated, could the mass of each particle roughly equal the mass of an "otherwise similar" electrically charged particle? I.e., if we permit the existence of magnetic monopoles at all for the moment, could we assume magnetic counterparts to electron and positron, for example, without immediately generating paradoxes? (The theoretical lower limit for the mass of magnetic monopoles in condensed matter is usually calculated as being much larger than the mass of an electron.)
2. If magnetic monopoles were generated by photon/photon collisions, do you think they could be / would be detected under the standard experimental conditions? (For example, the usual spiral shaped paths would occur only in a strong electric field instead of the usual magnetic field. And besides that, the use of a cloud chamber is incompatible with the above assumption "no interaction with other real particles".)
3. If the anwer to question 2 is "no", do you know of attempts to observe magnetic monopoles generated by two photons? (If I'm not mistaken previous attempts to prove the existence of magnetic monopoles were directed toward single, relatively long-lasting monopoles, not necessarily generated inside the experimental setup.)
Many thanks in advance for answers and links to publications related to this topic!
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Joerg,
You wrote: "The transformation of two "colliding" photons into a pair of particle / anti-particle was experimentally observed already. But the observed particles are always electrically charged."
Actually, this is not what has been experimentally observed. What was observed by Anderson and a few others with bubble chambers was that "a single" electromagnetic photon of energy higher than 1.022 MeV from cosmic radiation "decoupled" into a pair of electron-positron as they grazed atomic nuclei.
Since both electron and positron are "electromagnetic" in nature, then they have both a charge and a magnetic field already. So the pair is both electric and magnetic in nature. Very familiar in high energy accelerator circles.
To your point 1, a pair such generated does not so obviously recombine back to electromagnetic photon state because the energy of the incoming photon that exceeds the 1.022 MeV required to make up the masses of the two particles remains as momentum energy causing both particle to move in opposite directions at the velocity defined by this momentum.
To your point 2, many experiments have been carried out the seem to confirm that the magnetic field of the electron constantly oscillates at the frequency defined by the energy of its mass, which makes it a timewise dipole and thus a spacewise monopole at any given instant.

I think you will find it difficult to find a solderable, lumped component that fulfills this requirement. Once you reach these capacitance values, even deviations in soldering and mounting will likely exceed the capacitance value. A small blob of solder will exhibit 100-200fF capacitance. Once you get into X band, varactor tuning is best done as part of an integrated MMIC (like an integrated VCO) where varactor package parasitics are avoided and interconnect performance can be tightly controlled.
If you are using a varactor as a discrete component for tuning a dielectric resonator filter or oscillator (DRO) , your best bet is to use transmission line elements to transform impedances so that you can use a device like the MAVR-011005-12790T. Keep in mind that parasitic inductance must also be accounted for (the MAVR-011005-12790T data sheet specifies 0.6nH for this device).
I have used the Skyworks SMV-2019 for tuning X-band phase-locked DROs with a minimum of fuss.

Proponents of the theory of general relativity offer three different conflicting explanations of these results that are said to be equivalent to each other and therefore are all equally correct. The main problem with this explanation lies in the conceptualization of a physical process by which mass, momentum and energy could be either added to or subtracted from a photon without changing its velocity or angular momentum. Such a mechanism has never been proposed except for a mathematical description of a four-dimensional substance called a “space-time continuum.” This is a non-Doppler explanation of the shifts in which both source, observer and all photons are in the same inertial reference frame and the photons move at exactly c relative to both source and observer.

Take one electromagnet and a permanent magnet. Apply the current to the electromagnet for repulsion. Try to get them repelled at small separation. You will always find that corners of both of the electromagnet and permanent magnet attract each other instead of repelling. At lower current the attraction will be heavy and at higher current it will be weaker.
On the other hand, I have found that the majority of scientists deny the attraction between the like poles. I have discussed this matter with a group of scientists. Opinion of one of the scientist about this matter: “The strength and direction of a magnetic field at any point is the vector sum of all the individual fields at that point, so the situation you describe is not possible as the field at any point will always be a single vector. So it is not possible for the unaligned domains to be attracted by the permanent magnet while other domains are repelled because the unaligned domains will be acted upon only by the net field.” Link to the discussion: https://www.thenakedscientists.com/forum/index.php?topic=75622.msg564049#msg564049
Why is this obvious contradiction between the experimental fact and the opinion of the scientist?
Relevant answer
Answer
Hello Umer,
the experimental installation and arrangement of your magnets is not fully clear. Perhaps you visualize the magnetic flow by iron filings (separate and in superposition). The strength of the fields must be known (Tesla?).
I assume, the electromagnet has a core. The permanent magnet magnetizes the core of the opposite magnet. If the current is switched on, two fields effect on the core. So higher the current, so stronger the influence of the electromagnet. This explains the decreasing influence of the permanent magnet with increasing current.
The divergent field at the edges causes there a stronger influence of the permanent magnet.
Generally, the magnetic flow at the corners is inhomoneneously. Therfore, opposite directions of the resulting magnetic field are possible.

Some roughly estimated numbers: In a long coil, B = 1 T would correspond to H = 8*10^5 A/m. So, if the coil would consist of flat wire, width 1 mm (including insulation) resulting in 1000 turns/m it would take a current of 800 A. (A wire with a height of about 80 mm could carry this current for arbitrary periods of time. In a short coil the current had to be even stronger.)
A (circular) coil of 10 m diameter, 10 m length, 10000 turns, and a wire cross-section of 80 mm2 has an inductance of about 4.4 kH. There are some calculators for basic shapes available like this one:
The energy stored in this coil at I = 800 A is about 1.4 GWs. In order to ramp the current up from 0 A to 800 A in half a period of 15 Hz = 33.3 ms, about 105 MV were need for the whole coil or 10,5 kV per turn if each turn would be controlled separately.
It's obvious that current pulses of some microseconds length are not feasible.
If your application would permit a constant magnetic field that seems to be the only way to do it.

The analogue to the medium (dielectric) between the plates of capacitors is the core inside coils. While the effect of the dielectric depends on its permittivity, the effect of the core depends on its permeability. In both cases, the medium is polarized by an externally applied field.
Of course, media between capacitor plates and media inside (and around) coils are only the two simplest configurations. Electrically or magnetically (or both) polarizable media can be located anywhere in electromagnetic near fields or far fields.
There are several types of magnetic relaxation (nuclear, electron, ferromagnetic) but while relaxation refers to the process of reaching an equilibrium after a change of conditions, hysteresis involves a (possibly) permanent state, dependent on the past. So, there could be hysteresis with relaxation, and vice versa.

An eddy current is a well known reaction in electromagnetism. They exist in the ferromagnetic core of various static and moving electromagnetic induction based machines, for example, transformers and motors.
Is it possible to directly measure eddy currents?
Relevant answer
Answer
Direct measuring of eddy currents is simply impractical. Yes, you can attach electrodes to the media, where you excite currents, and measure the current directly. This will be called a transformer.
Measuring eddy currents is a special area of NDT. NDT, nondestructive, in most cases means non-interfering with the media, or often just non-contact, or indirect.
So, probably your question is reduced to high-resolution methods of measuring eddy currents, where you avoid cancelling of mid-range magnetic field, by observing current flow microstructure.
A lot of patents were written, and secrets are hidden by companies. So no one can help you. I can just give a hint: if you examine flat surfaces in direct proximity, you can use magneto-optics (faraday, kerr-effect) to image excitation. But the application of the method is difficult because of really very close proximity.

but what are those lines ?? , the electric field strength is represented by lines .... however such lines do not  exist ..... eventually is there a particle that mediates magnetic flux, electric field strength or electric flux  .... eg protons mediates charge ...etc
Relevant answer
Answer
Electric Flux Density, D, is a conceptual/graphical vector field that we use to get a “feel” for a complicated electric field made by source charges. What is exactly an electric flux, as you ask, is called a flux line. A flux line represents the trajectory a positive test charge would take if placed at that point, or the force a positive test charge would experience if placed at that point.1 Flux lines aren’t real, they’re just useful for visualization, and the number of them that emanate from a charge is arbitrarily set; in SI units, 1 flux line will emanate from 1 C.2
I would also like to point out that the answer given by André Michaud is verbatim the definition of electric current, and must be a misunderstanding of your question.

P.S. If it is not possible to let air or liquid flow through the electromagnets, it would be very useful to enlarge the surface area of the housing, e. g. by strapping or glueing (there are thermally conductive adhesives available) heat sinks to the housing. Unfortunately, many heat sinks have a plane surface on one side while the housing of your electromagnets is cylindrical. Since the area of contact between housing and heat sink should be as large as possible, this is an application for custom made heat sinks. Aluminum is a good compromise between thermal conductivity and price.

Collective effects are evident in billions and billions of particles or entities in physics, such as In lasers, electromagnetism [1], superconductivity, critical mass in nuclear physics, physics of fluids, thixotropic and other non-newtonian effects, fusion and fission, binding energy, gravity, and quantum mechanics.
There are applications also in maths. We discussed its application in social movements, where statistics is not used, nor psychology, but a causal model is introduced, based on physics of fluids and collective effects.
The problem is that a system made of billions of billions of particles or entities, as usual in physics of natural systems, is much harder to study, for example, in quantum behaviour or even classical.
In network theory, comes the example of 6 degrees of separation. Now, in physics [2,3], comes the example of 10 photons. Studying quantum behaviour of particles is much easier with fewer particles, so the fact that phase transitions occur in these small systems means we can better study quantum properties such as coherence.
Could we start to see behaviour of collective effects with 10 electrons or less? Can we use them to better study coherence also in non-quantum behaviour? What is the lower limit?

Of course, one can use Clifford Algebra Cl(3,1) in electromagnetism. But then, one is not working with Gibbs vectors anymore (NOTE 1.1, 1.2) , but with multivectors (NOTE 2.1, 2.2, 2.3). Better yet, we can try to check with tensors. There is a physics fundamental reason (NOTE 1.31P) why tensors are better than Cl(3,1) when one transforms coordinates.
Also, every element of a geometric algebra, such as Cl(3,1) and spacetime algebra by Hestenes, can be identified with a tensor, but not every tensor can be identified with an element of a geometric algebra. In that sense, tensors are more general than pure grade multivectors. The rank of a tensor is not restricted by the dimension of the base vector space like the grade of a multivector.
This means that there is no way to represent any 2nd-rank tensor by a bivector, vector, and scalar. Or, in particular, no way that any 3×3 matrix could be represented by a 2-vector in 3D!
So, it is not a 3D here and 1D there, but a union of the two, in 4D, that is desirable in electromagnetism spacetime. One can transform length into time, and vice-versa.
Tensors allow that, Cl(3,1) does NOT do that. And electromagnetism may be at least 4D, maybe 6D or more, which tensors can represent, but Cl(3,1) would not.
Similar question: what's the relationship of tensor and multivector . The short answer is that all multivectors are tensors, but not all tensors are multivectors, so geometric algebra is not and cannot be isomorphic to tensor algebra.
Therefore, geometric algebras (Clifford Cl(3,1), Hestenes) seem insufficient for electromagnetism, in all possible generality. What is your view?
NOTES:
1.1. The 3D vector cross product is not a vector, but a tensor. This is well-known and the reason to invalidate its use in Maxwell's equations, and physics equations. This is both a physical and a mathematical reason, commented below. But, would it not serve a restricted purpose adequately? No, it can create mistakes upon reference frame change, for example, simple mirroring, gives us wrong units in the SI MKS, worldwide, and this is all old news that have to be somehow continuously repeated, with a "life of its own," as a misconception in even current college books at competitive US universities.
1. 2. MATHEMATICAL REASON: The 3D vector cross product is not a closed operation in the 3D vector space, it produces a member that does not belong to the same set, the 3D vector space, although it may look like it in some cases.
1.3. PHYSICAL REASON: Both sides of an equation representing a physical relationship, such as A = B, must change equally when the frame of reference changes and the so-called inertial condition is obeyed, as already stated by Galileo, Newton, and Einstein, that the laws of physics are the same for all uniformly moving observers. But if one writes an equation using a 3D vector cross product, such as A= B x C, the left and right side may transform differently if the coordinate frame of reference changes, while still inertial. In the past, this was accommodated, not solved, by considering spurious things such as polar and axial vectors, and pseudoscalars. This is solved using tensors, which maintain the form A = B under inertial reference change.
2.1. Multivectors, in geometric algebras, or Clifford algebra, or Cl(n,1) algebras, or STA Hestenes algebra, solve the mathematical reason (1.2), creating a closed space in all operations. No geometric algebra operation is mathematically unsound.
2.2. Multivectors do not solve the physical reason (1.3), but tensors do. This is another reason, besides lack of isomorphism with tensors and no use of time as a coordinate in spacetime, that invalidates the use of geometric algebras in equations of physics, including electromagnetism.
2.3. With multivectors, If one eliminates the physically wrong results, by requiring an additional step of "filtering" through, let us say, a Hamiltonian, this will not produce those results that are physically valid but were ignored in the first place, using just multivectors. A sequence of filters cannot filter less than the first filter, well-known in physics, math, and engineering. This appears, more easily to see, in non-euclidean spaces, such as anything larger than, let us estimate in general, a few Planck lengths.
3. This thread arrived at a first conclusion, which is stated in the NOTES 1-2 above. There is no room to refuse to notice an obvious thing, or to re-explain here, the reasoning and references are available above, to anyone.
4. We are now moving on, to non-mathematical aspects of using Clifford algebras, even beyond the physical reason given in the NOTES above, where using Clifford algebras would be detrimental to special relativity. We are talking about time.

Answer
Ed,
Thanks you for your attention about scoring...and your attempt to police RG. But me, as well as Hans and others have been on RG for a long time, and we know to ignore rude people "who know all", or repeat like parrots what they believe to have understood in the books of their masters. I spend a good deal of my time on RG, less to praise my articles or books, than to help people to understand some difficult issues. Of course read my papers can help, and it seems that you have some reading to catch, notably on Clifford algebras, and mathematics.
In my post I underline 3 points :
- Clifford algebras are algebraic structures built on any vector space endowed with a scalar product. If you want to establish a relation with tensors in Relativist Geometry you need fiber bundles...even in Special Relativity.
- Rather than focus on the many denominations of types of vectors in a Clifford bundle, it is good to understand, from a general point of view, how they work. Notably transposition, adjoint map, exponential,...And to notice that the vector space from which the Clifford algebra originates has a special role.
- it is usually (in QTF) acknowledged that the EM field is represented by U(1), which is a commutative group. And not difficult to see that the Clifford algebra has a center, which includes for even dimensions, the scalars. In a unified theory of fields the natural representation of the EM field is through the scalars in a Clifford algebra.

It is difficult to give useful solution to it unless the elaborate details of the specific system is provided.
1) Please use electromagnet simulators eg. FEMM (http://www.femm.info/wiki/HomePage) to get an idea of the current requirements and the approximate dimension within which you want the design to be.
2) Also the details of the volume in which you want the field to be uniform has to be considered. This depends on the size of the sample on which you want field to be applied etc.
If you just need constant magnetic field, just try permanent magnets (Rare earth magnets can easily provide this field occupying much lesser space as well.)

Dear Ed Gerck,
"Regarding the non-inertial frames in special relativity"
The existence of non-inertial frames in special relativity, is a fundamental problem of the Einstein 's theory of relativity. So far known to me Einstein himself had not said any thing about it. Of course, we study the relativistic transformation equations of acceleration and force, the rate of change of the velocity with respect to the mass and the energy-momentum tensor of a distribution of matter in special relativity etc. , where the acceleration or the force are considered in an inertial frame. these considerations are against the basic nature of the inertial frame.
Let us consider a non-inertial frame in the special relativity i.e. we have two inertial frames moving with a constant acceleration relative to each other. The main problem in this consideration is what would be the maximum amount of acceleration which a particle ( massive or non-massive) may have ? Only then, the problem of non-inertial frames in the special relativity may be meaningful.

Depending on which direction you want to observe your E or H fields distribution (phase and magnitude) you can define your reference plane at any distance you want (by modelling a shaped plane along xoy,xoz..) then define your monitor at the frequency of interest and finally run the simulation.

Hi,
I am attempting to simulate in comsol a nonlinear metamaterial (which by using effective media theory I can approximate as a periodic slab of artificial material).
My process is as follows:
Run a frequency domain study, this contains my model, a propagating wave (from the emw port). I perform the comsol study and place domain point probes at points of interest. I monitor the Ex, Ey, Ez, and normE here.
Next, I find the voltage at a point in my material (at split of my split ring resonator) simply by multiplying a component of the E field at this point by the gap size of the split in the ring.
Next, I couple a time domain study of my model to a circuit model so I can apply a voltage source. I am looking for the second harmonic so I apply V(2w) =1/2 a(Vw)^2 voltage (from an expansion of the voltage in the linear model with 'a' being a nonlinear co-efficient which I will know).
Following this, I have a scattered boundary condition as a source of the field I have saved from my emw.Ey etc run from the frequency domain and I use a polarisation term to couple the incident field chi(2) *(emw.Ey)^2, where chi has been found via an equivalent circuit analysis.
I then export my time domain results to matlab (just for sake of ease as I'm more familiar with matlab) and take the abs(fft(Efield)) to find the frequency content of the output from my model.
I'm aware this method is probably incorrect, but any pointers, or corrections from correct comsol usage to correct method to simulate nonlinear materials, would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much

Hi,
I'm looking to predict via simulations and maths a nonlinear response from a square split ring meta atom to see if inserting a varactor across a split gap significantly changes the behaviour of the meta atom, and consequently how it changes, what kind of nonlinear susceptibility it presents and what kind of three wave mixing will occur. For now, I am only interested in up to second order responses.
I am using the Smith adaptation of the Nicholson-Ross-Weir parameter retrieval method to find the linear properties of the meta atom.
I am hoping to find expressions that I can use in Comsol, for the permittivity and permeability of the varactor diode that depend on frequency. Or, alternatively, some method of simulating the effect of the varactor diode without explicitly knowing the nonlinear susceptibility of the meta atom + varactor system.
This will hopefully allow me to measure the generated nonlinear waves even without directly knowing the nonlinear susceptibilities (as if I had actually done the experiment and measured the scattered fields). I can then continue on to a nonlinear retrieval method.
Any advice would be appreciated, even if it just helps me understand this process.

Since electrons systematically behave point-like, both of their magnetic poles have to coincide by structure:

2- Under gravity the mass of light inside a conductor is mc^2=hbar*g/(2c), where g being the acceleration due to gravity.

Electric field.
There are many definitions for it. Let's use this one from Yahoo:
·
An electric field is a property that describes the space that surrounds electrically charged particles or that which is in the presence of a time-varying magnetic field. This electric field exerts a force on other electrically charged objects. The concept of an electric field was introduced by Michael Faraday.
- Space surrounding a charged particle does not stop close to the particle but extends to universe.
- That means another charged particle millions km away experience a force immediately; something went faster than light to that second particle. Wow… That is the theory and its seems absurd.
- Since in this concept, nothing is leaving the charged particle, there is nothing to intercept or nothing to stop travelling.
- It should not be possible to shield the electric field even with a faraday cage. But the faraday cage works very well.
- That means the facts are wrong and the theory is right; interesting but absurd again.
- The electric field has energy to be able to exerts a force on another charged object. Where does that energy comes from. It comes from empty space because before the object was charged, that space was void. That means void can have energy and interact with something. Nothing can interact with something. Let’s be serious and look at these more carefully.
- The math aspect of the field has been verified many times and seem to be ok. What is probably lacking is the explanation of what is really going on physically
- One author states that the field is only a concept to help in the math part. It is not a reality. Then what is the reality.
Is it possible to do an experiment to find out if something is leaving the charged object?
