The speed of an electric current has always been a matter for discussion. This went nowhere while it was not realised that the energy delivered from a battery to a lamp travelled at the speed of light. Linking this with the fact that electrons travelling at the speed of light would have infinite mass, a crisis for electricity which became clearer with the advent of pulses in digital electronics was evaded for half a century.<\/p>\n


\n1. Does It Exist?
\n<\/strong>Everyone, including Einstein, believes that electromagnetic theory is central to today\u2019s physics, and that it is mathematical.\n<\/p>\n

There is general lack of grasp of a central feature of electromagnetic theory. This feature is, extraordinarily, what happens when a battery is connected via two conductors to a lamp, and the lamp lights. With the rapid introduction of digital electronics in 1960, I had to think more deeply about this process, because I was dealing with exactly the same thing when I delivered a logic signal from one logic gate to the next.<\/p>\n

When a battery is connected to a lamp, or when a logic gate is connected to another, the signal advances at the speed of light.<\/p>\n

We definitely know that energy, or power, is delivered. We should not assume that surrounding paraphernalia, charge and current, definitely exist. If we insisted on this, then we would have had to stick with caloric and phlogiston in earlier times.<\/p>\n

You will agree that those who insisted on retaining caloric or phlogiston as physically real were major obstructers of scientific advancement.<\/p>\n

Although a cloud cannot exist without edges, the edges of a cloud do not exist. They have no volume, mass or density. Although a cube cannot exist without edges, the edges of a cube do not exist. A cube, for instance of copper, does exist. It is physically real. It has mass and volume. It cannot exist without edges, but its edges do not exist. The same goes for electric charge and electric current, which we find on the edge of the energy, or power, or TEM Wave, which is travelling from battery to lamp.<\/p>\n

We can do impressive mathematical gyrations with the edge of a cube, which equals the cube root of a cube\u2019s volume. Also, the surface of a cube is a more sophisticated mathematical manipulation of a cube\u2019s volume; six times the square of the cube root of its volume. Thus, we should avoid being impressed by the extraordinarily complex mathematics \u2013 Maxwell\u2019s Equations, divs, dels, curls, integrals, differentials and so forth, which create electric charge and current from the very real energy travelling from battery to lamp. Generally, a Maxwell equation says that something which is real equals the non-existent mathematical manipulation of the something which is real. We know the energy is real, because the lamp lights. Charge and current are merely extrapolations. Like caloric and phlogiston, they may or may not exist.<\/p>\n

In 1976, I suddenly realized that the electric current did not exist. Although it was published in 1982 [1], no professor or text book writer has admitted since then that he has heard of the assertion, that when a battery lights a lamp, electric current is not involved.<\/p>\n

Only six years later I asked for information about, not the current, but the charge involved in the process of a battery lighting a lamp. This question is called \u201cThe Catt Question\u201d [2]. After some years I succeeded in getting contradictory answers from accredited experts, who then went silent for decades. Their bosses, including Lord Rees, refuse to investigate the fact that they do not discuss their differences, and do not inform their students that there is a contradiction in their teaching.<\/p>\n

Last year I came across a much clearer fatal flaw in classical theory, which was published in an unrefereed journal [3]. Now in this paper, I present an even simpler, even clearer fatal flaw.<\/p>\n

In my 1979 book [4] I wrote; \u201cText book writers and lecturers generally repeat what they do not grasp. Tragically, they do not even realize that there is a large subject which they do not understand, fondly believing that their sometimes skilful manipulation of meaningless mathematical symbols is <\/em>the subject\u2026 We have to try to move [them] from their present theory, which they do not grasp\u2026\u201c They assert that the subject is mathematical. A Google search for \u201cmathematics is the language of science\u201d gives us 50 million hits. Electromagnetism being the \u201ccrowning glory\u201d of mathematical science, we don\u2019t have to understand it, only manipulate it mathematically.<\/p>\n

The real fundamentals, which involve trivial mathematics, are missing from the text books. Thus, the first part of this paper has to be an exegesis of the relevant classical, and false, theory, which I believed when I published in two unrefereed journals, in Britain and the USA, in 1969. Text books do not discuss them. They are also not to be found on the www. I discuss the problem of \u201cTEM Wave, a lost concept\u201d at [5].<\/p>\n
