Acknowledgments
Between ten and twenty years ago, I somehow came into possession of a book, Physics of the Future, by Thomas G. Barnes. At one point over ten years ago, I just glanced through the book as I was reorganizing my library. I even contacted Professor Barnes to get more information on the subject and he referred me to the periodical Galilean Electrodynamics, edited by Petr Beckmann. I also talked with Professor Beckmann on a couple of occasions and subscribed to the periodical for a couple of years (although I only read a couple of articles). I did not grasp the essence of the authors’ thinking.

About two years ago, I started surveying physics again in order to aid my sons in their studies, hoping to simplify their efforts. In addition to reviewing several college and advanced high school textbooks, I returned to the works of Barnes. For the first time I began to overcome my indoctrination in areas related to modern physics – specifically Einsteinian relativity and quantum mechanics. I began to realize the thrust of Barnes’ thinking. I tried calling him again but I was too late-age had taken its toll on him. My efforts to reach Beckmann led only to news of his death. Fortunately, I was able to reach Don Edney, a scientist and friend, who was able to get me a later book that Barnes had written, as well as put me in contact with Professor Harold S. Slusher, a colleague of Dr. Barnes, who sent me Barnes’ latest book, Space Medium.

A great deal of this paper is due to the concepts and mathematical developments generated by Professor Barnes. By his own acknowledgment he in turn is a debtor to Herbert Dingle, L. Essen, G. Burniston Brown, and Herbert Ives. Those men in turn owed much to Ernest Rutherford, H.A. Lorentz, A.A. Michelson, James Clerk Maxwell, Josiah Gibbs, and Hermann Helmholtz. These men represent a line of prodigious physicists who subscribed to a Galilean electrodynamics which became the minority view soon after Einstein proposed his special theory of relativity in 1905. That detour in history led to modern physics, composed largely of Einstein’s relativity and quantum mechanics. It is the opinion of the dissidents that such a detour has lead to a cul-de-sac of paradoxes, hypotheses unrelated to reality, and a denial of proven laws. I am thankful for the courage of such men to proclaim that the emperor has no clothes.
