Photons to the rescue!

Davidson, Catt, Walton did
extensive work in electromagnetic theory. They could not get their work through
peer (consensus) review, through people like Howie. http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/x66j.pdf .
However, they published every month in "Wireless World" for ten
years, circulation 60,000. http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/x18j1.htm . There
was virtually no comment from academia.
Catt then looked into Maxwell's
Equations. Knowing that analysis of his equations was not allowed
("outrageous" according to Howie), Catt published under his
single name, leaving Davidson, Walton unscathed by the probable reaction.
But there was no reaction to
http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/x18j73.pdf ,
for instance from Howie. So after waiting five years, Catt tried again
with http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/x18j184.pdf
. There was no scientific response from Howie or anyone else. Howie merely
called the second attempt to get competent comment "outrageous".
That is where we stand now,
except that their work is now published in The Royal Society. No one (including
Howie) will comment on
http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/yak.htm ;
that there is
no such a thing as a static electric field in a capacitor.
But Howie is an FRS. As ex head
of the Cavendish, will he try to get his Royal Society to retract the Yakovlev
article?
