“Rarely us a paper published concerning a new idea followed by wide acceptance”
Or in the case of James Clerk Maxwell (the man who changed everything), that some ideas are transformed by some one else into something else and the rest thrown away ... and so it came about that everything we know about the entire electromagnetic spectrum, all that Einstein and Tesla based their works on, and all that devolved from that knowledge (essentially modern civilization), came to exist.
Maxwell and Newton tell us much of what we need to know
