“All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed, second it is violently opposed, and third, it is accepted as self-evident.”

Arthur Schopenhauer, German Philosopher. 1788-1860.

Wrong. First, it is silenced.

The Maxwell nonsense. http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/x892max.pdf . The number 224 recurs on pp228 and 229. I will add the names of those who will argue that the number 224 has

something to do with electromagnetic theory. 7.4.2018 The list starts here; http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/dore1.htm

…………… What avout Brian Josephson? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Josephson . Did he reach p228 in Max’s first volume?

“This is the problem if you work with simplified physics rather than follow the maths.” - Josephson

Did Heaviside? http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/411.htm ; “The heaven-sent Maxwell ….”. There’s enough maths on p228 to sink a battleship.

What about Maxwell saying his equations don’t care whether there exists instantaneous action at a distance?

Whether pondering black holes or predicting discoveries at CERN, physicists believe the best theories are beautiful, natural, and elegant, and this standard separates popular theories from disposable ones. This is why, Sabine Hossenfelder argues, we have not seen a major breakthrough in the foundations of physics for more than four decades. The belief in beauty has become so dogmatic that it now conflicts with scientific objectivity: observation has been unable to confirm mindboggling theories, like supersymmetry or grand unification, invented by physicists based on aesthetic criteria. Worse, these "too good to not be true" theories are actually untestable and they have left the field in a cul-de-sac. To escape, physicists must rethink their methods. Only by embracing reality as it is can science discover the truth.

http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/28anom.htm 1996 ; “Those students who studied, learned, and passed exams in the IEE's static knowledge base developed subject loyalty and also a vested interest in its maintenance and defence against new knowledge. Some had even passed the IEE's own exams. They now paid their subscriptions to the IEE, not to encourage it to advance knowledge, but so that it would defend the knowledge base which was now their identity and their security.”
