Ian Montgomery addresses a crucial question below. Do those who have at least some grasp of the scale of the disaster which befel science in the 20th century resort to grapeshot or a directed, consolidated attack? One could say that this is the issue which divided Nigel Cook from me. It also probably caused trouble between Theocharis and me, although the Theo problem was much broader, not centred on me. http://www.electromagnetism.demon.co.uk/y45mredh.htm Theocharis
http://www.ivorcatt.com/459.htm . that electric charge/current has to spread out from the input wire across the capacitor plate. This shines a spotlight on the origin of "Displacement Current". This would have been a good point for concerted attack. Ian Montgomery wants to use Michelson-Morley [Note 1], and I argue against it in favour of "The Catt Question". "The Catt Questiion" line of attack is further along its
path than any other alternative. The careful construction of
Establishment contradiction dates from 1995.
http://www.electromagnetism.demon.co.uk/66.htm " Dear Ivor, Good to see that you're still alive and kicking!!" - IM 29August 2006 Liba and I drove to Prague Chech Republic where she dealt with certain Czech bureaucracies. We then drove to Mirabel near Aubenas SW from Lyon France where she had her tapestries in an exhibition. I am not yet really alive and kicking. That occurs on November 3 when we drive home to England (with her Gobelin tapestries in the car) and my own computer. In the interim I found that for 52 Euros return I could fly from Nimes S France to London and back, so I am here at my computer for a few days while I check on the cat (single t) from 9oct to 18 oct. It is important for me to try to stay alive as long as possible, because when the scandal finally surfaces people like me will be needed. If Nigel Cook, aged around 30, had not self-destructed, he would have played a very important historical role in the denouement, if it ever happens. However, like so many other allies, he lost patience and compromised. Others just walked away, saying it was taking too long. At around age 50, Forrest Bishop could play a very important role.
However, the campaign, which has lasted and will last for many
decades, is gruelling and frustrating. The dedication
demanded is super-human. This attempt to save "The
Enlightenment" from a new Dark Ages is a noble task. Note 1. Why Nigel Cook looked so valuable a decade ago was that he grasped the "single velocity universe" concept buried in Ivor's work. http://www.wbabin.net/physics/cook3.htm More or less nobody else has realised how important and pivotal it is. Not only can nothing travel faster than the speed of light. Further, nothing can travel slower than the speed of light. [Note 2] This falure to grasp is dependent on our losing the concept of a TEM Wave http://www.electromagnetism.demon.co.uk/17136.htm http://www.electromagnetism.demon.co.uk/20136.htm 1 The failure of everyone to properly to define the particle led me exclude it from my world view. In science, something which is not defined does not exist within a rigorous theory. 2 My work on high speed logic interconnection in the 1960s led me to address the TEM Wave deeply, leading me to prove that electromagnetic energy can only enter a region of space if the space has [input] impedance (377) and that it can only travel at a fixed velocity (300,000). [Actually, this is buried in "Maxwell's Equations"! ] Note 2 The Single Velocity Universe This includes the exclusion of the possibility of anything being stationary. The only velocities are c and -c. The value is 300,000. http://www.electromagnetism.demon.co.uk/17143.htm There are some similarities with the advance made by Newton in his first law. The Catt view includes the concept of a fixed 3D space. It also includes the principle of no instantaneous action at a distance. As I wrote to Cook some years ago, when I pack for a journey and when I travel, if I regard the suitcase which encloses my things as in the same class as those things, I run into various difficulties including conceptual. Similarly, if one tries to treat the space which accomodates everything as in the same class as what it accomodates, one runs into massive self-made problems. Since there is no action at a distance, and since everthing travels at velocity 300,000 , it follows that events at a point are the result of what arrives at that point in space at that moment in time. Theory must be based on what happens at a point.
