Theory
D
Ivor Catt
31.10.2022
There are three stages in electromagnetic theory as
it advanced. They are the Normal Theory, Theory N, Heaviside’s 1880 theory,
Theory H, and the third 1976 theory, Theory C.
Recently, Archie Howie, ex head of the Cavendish
Cambridge, called advances in electromagnetic theory, called “Theory C”, Catt’s
“absurd ego trip”. www.ivorcatt.co.uk/howieland.htm
.
To counter this result of the work of more than one
person (including Malcolm Davidson), I renamed their advances “Theory D”.
Theory C is now limited to; “When a battery is
connected to a lamp by two wires and the lamp lights, electric current is not
involved.”
The full “third theory” is now called “Theory D;
“When a battery is connected to a lamp by two wires and the lamp lights,
nothing flows along inside the wires.”

Theory D.
When a battery is connected to a lamp
by two wires and the lamp lights, nothing travels along inside the wires.
(Discovered on May 26, 1976.)

Later version; http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/theoryd.htm
A restatement of Theory D on 9.4.2021
A long charged capacitor has energy reciprocating from end to end
between the electrodes. See Wakefield.
http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/x3216b.pdf
, http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/tong21.htm. If it is
connected at both ends at the same instant, the energy travelling to the left
comes out at the left, and the energy travelling to the right comes out at the
right.
When
two parallel wires are connected to the electrodes of a battery, some of this
energy rushes out, guided by the wires. It is called ExH.
If a lamp is connected at the end of the wires, the lamp receives the energy
and lights.
During
its journey, some of the ExH energy turns sideways
and enters the wires, warming them. Using the characteristics of the copper
wire and of space, this energy can be calculated mathematically. This ExH energy dissipated in the wire, similar to the energy reaching
the lamp, has been wrongly thought to be another substance, electricity. It is
not. It is all ExH energy.
http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/x0742.pdf
(The
concept of “skin depth” is relevant, involving more mathematics, reinforcing
the mathematical artefact, “electric current”.)
All this (“electric current”) has no answer to cattq, http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/cattq.htm , where the fabrications break down.

It
is necessary to clarify certain details in the present situation. The problem
is brought out in Alex Yakovlev’s Royal Society article when he says; “Theory
C, or Catt theory”.
It was a mistake for me to christen the third theory
“Theory C”, since it brought confusion. My defence is perhaps that it was the
third theory, coming after A and B.
Sir Isaac Newton’s Three Laws of Motion are immortal,
but Newton was not. The three laws, not Newton, are what is important. Newton
was merely an instrument for the truth.
Recently I attempted to clarify our situation by
naming the four laws N, H, C and C+.
I now revoke this christening.
The four theories are N, H, C and D. This moves it
away from personalities. The destination is Theory D, not C.
Theory N. The battery delivers current into the
wires. The (electric) current causes the ExH field.
The ExH field enters the lamp, and it lights up.
Theory H. (“We reverse this,” Heaviside.) The
battery delivers the ExH energy current between the
wires. The energy current causes the current in the wires. The ExH energy enters the lamp and the lamp lights. (Some of
the energy enters the wires sideways, and warms them.) The energy which lights
the lamp always travelled in the space between the wires. http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/x41h.pdf
; “By the way, is there such a thing as an electric current?”
Theory C. The battery delivers the ExH energy current. The ExH
enters the lamp and the lamp lights. Electric current is not involved.
Theory D. The battery delivers the ExH energy current between the wires. The ExH energy enters the lamp and the lamp lights. There is no
electric current.

Theory N
Is the normal theory, normal means in this case established,
accepted by the mainstream, accepted by everybody.
The battery delivers electric
current into the wires. The electric current causes or
creates the electric (E) and magnetic (H) field in the space between (or around the
wires?) written ExH. The ExHfield enters the lamp, and it lights up.
Theory H
“We reverse this”, said Heaviside. The battery
delivers electric and magnetic field (ExH),
called energy current between the wires. The energy current causes
the current in the wires. Some of the energy current enters the
wires (when entered in
the wires called current to distinguish it from N,
electric current delivered by the battery or ??) sideways, and
warms the wires. The energy current (ExH) enters the lamp and
the lamp lights. The energy current (ExH) which lights the lamp always
travelled in the space between the wires.
Theory C
When the battery lights a lamp electric current is not
involved. The battery delivers the energy current (ExH) and the energy current lights the lamp.
Theory D
There is no electric current. The battery
delivers the energy current(ExH) between the wires. The energy current
lights the lamp.
--------------------------------------------------------
H, C and D, all 3 are explained by energy current. Energy current (ExH)
lights the lamp.
C only excludes electric
current but doesn't negate
its existence.
D Denies existence of electric
current.
N, H, C and D have in common that the field (ExH) or (field (ExH) between the
wires finally lights the lamp, correct? [Yes. Ivor Catt. 15.3.2020]

Ivor,
If it makes someone content, I will say that I do not know if Theory D
is utter rubbish, and I do not have the time, means or inclination to try to find out.

Echoing
“inclination”
http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/cattq.htm
“Following our strenuous but unsuccessful
efforts many years
ago to resolve the difference between us, I am however not at all
attracted
by the idea of revisiting them!”
Howie
wilfully misrepresents what happened. He disagreed with Pepper, who worked for
him, and not with me. Two careerists disagreed as to the dogma they taught. The
academic mafia have to pretend to be united (and know their subject). The dogma
is replete with internal contradictions, not just cattq. It’s a leaking ship! http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/x37p.htm

Crimestop means the faculty of stopping short, as
though by instinct, at the threshold of any dangerous thought. It includes the power
of not grasping analogies, of failing to perceive logical errors, of
misunderstanding the simplest arguments if they are inimical to Ingsoc, and of
being bored or repelled by any train of thought which is capable of leading in
a heretical direction. Crimestop, in short, means protective stupidity.
- G. Orwell, 1984, pub. Chancellor, 1984 edn., p225
Our
electrical theory has grown like a ramshackle farmhouse which has been added
to, and improved, by the additions of successive tenants to satisfy their
momentary needs, and with little regard for the future. We regard it with
affection. We have grown used to the leaks in the roof .... But our haphazard
house cannot survive for ever, and it must ultimately be replaced by a
successor whose beauty is of structure rather than of sentiment.
