If I write to an official of the appropriate learned society, or to a
suitably described academic, for instance "Reader in Electromagnetics",
there is usually no reply. However, as in the case of the IEEE below, there
is sometimes a single reply followed by nothing. In the case of Lord Rees, as
Master of Trinity he replied once and then went silent for a further three
years. In the case of my letter to him as President of The Royal Society, he
did not reply at all.

Dear Mr Catt,
I owe you an apology for not having responded earlier to your letter. I shall
however need to get 'up to speed' on the scientific question you raise before
being able to respond intelligently -- I doubt that I can offer any input
beyond what you can get from the better-qualified Fellows of Trinity.
It was a great pleasure to meet you when you came to the College.
Best regards
Martin Rees

The key point about the IEEE case is the single reply, repeated here;

I would like to submit the paper "Cause and Effect in
Mathematics" for publication in Proc. IEEE. I enclose it below as well
as as a Word Attachment because of the www
hyperlinks, whose addresses will need to be spelled out in the text if
published.
"submit a brief 3-5 page proposal containing a
description of the topic and its importance to PROCEEDINGS' readers," -
Here is the "brief 305 pp proposal". The article proposes that,
instead of proceeding from electricity and fields through mathematics to
displacement current and then to the TEM Wave (= light), we go in reverse
direction from sunlight through the same mathematics to fields etc. Mathematics
is reversable. This reverse makes Electromagnetic
Theory more amenable to insights gained from high speed digital electronics.
"a brief biography showing the author's
qualifications for writing the paper (including reference to previously
published material as well as information on the author's relation to the
proposed topic)." - Ivor Catt M.A. cantab.

Cause and Effect in Mathematics
Electromagnetic theory grew out of the perusal of such things as magnets,
electrically charged bodies and the rest. This led to such concepts as
electric charge and electric current, electric field and magnetic field. Much
later, dubious mathematics was applied to such steady state things by
Maxwell, expanding a little to
slowly changing "electric currents" and thence to displacement
current, the latter deriving from theoretical problems with slowly changing
electric current and the capacitor. Displacement current led to the idea of
sunlight as electromagnetic.
During this development of electromagnetic theory, there were no rapidly
changing fields, and no electromagnetism travelling very fast, for instance
at the speed of light.
Now supposing, instead of with static fields
and devices such as stationary magnets, we had started with sunlight, which
we have always known about. [article continues].
