No danger that Maxwell’s Equations are going to become fully symmetric in E and B anytime soon. Certainly not as a result of this.
This is potentially very useful but suppression/disruption of half the dipole does not equal a monopole. Maxwell’s still got crazy genius mandate over this. :)
(Snarks, do you know aught of this story?)
Not this one, g_w. Plus it makes me a bit uncomfortable, all of this talk about monopoles and north poles and south poles and the like...
I can’t remember now, and you can save me a trip to the office if you do, but wasn’t Dirac’s conjecture an exercise in Jackson’s book? [We certainly did it as an assignment in first year Classical Electrodynamics, either way.]
Self taught here, specifying sources is pretty much a no go with me. I try to read multiple angles, the stranger ones make great late night reading, and focus on what works. I haven’t published anything...yet.
Many nonsensical conjectures fall out when pure math is applied. No arrow of time probably being the most prominent one.
The Second Edition had a cover that was Blood Red. There is a story -- possibly apocryphal -- that Jackson once answered a question at a seminar by saying that the choice of color had been no accident.
Clicked your link and that whole ‘time-independent’ pops up again.
Oddly written article.
Shows how poorly “almost all” science is written up nowdays.
What if we need to join the “we don’t believe in the string theory theoretical ping list”?
Hey, if you’re expecting me to start one more ping list, forget it. ;’)
Bump
thanks, bfl
