“Here is an
incontrovertible fact: We're at the
international forefront of modern physics. We're making major contributions
to fundamental science, and we're having an exceptional impact on industry. Based on
the REF 2014 GPA
Scores, Times Higher Education ranked Strathclyde as number one in the UK for
physics research. Please encourage Professor Oppo to keep Strathclyde ahead by commenting on cattq. Then came Professor Oppo’s lecture; “The genius of James Clerk Maxwell, the
man who made equations speak”. http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/Oppo_complete.pdf I had asked Oppo to read and comment on my first two articles on
Maxwell’s Equations before his lecture. http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/x18j73.pdf ; http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/x18j184.pdf . In the event three people had
attacked him for threatening me with legal action. http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/x831van.htm
. This encouraged him to write what I call six pages, http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/Oppo_complete.pdf
, after his lecture. (The second longest suicide note in history.) In his six pages, he made the
mistake of writing (p5); “There is no ‘Catt’s anomaly’, just scientifically poor mathematical
and physical statements.” But “The Catt Question”, http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/cattq.htm
, misnamed by Oppo, has nothing to do with
Maxwell’s Equations. Clearly Oppo had only read the
misleading articles with that title, “Catt’s anomaly”. Now, as “number one in the UK for physics research”, it is necessary for Oppo to comment on
“The Catt Question”. Today there are contradictory answers to “The Catt
Question”, or cattq. It is necessary for those who
are “number one in the UK for physics research”, Strathclyde, to put the matter straight. Historically, there were two
contradictory “answers” to cattq, southerner and
westerner. This anomaly led to the book “The Catt Anomaly” http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/28anom.htm
, telling us that accredited experts contradicted each other on fundamentals.
Twenty years later this anomaly was retitled “The Catt Question”. This asked
for clarification of classical electromagnetism, and did not assert that
there was something fundamentally wrong. There was no comment by any
accredited expert for 30 years http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/x6611.htm
. Then, in a “publish or perish” exercise to get past peer review, three
Italian professors in Florence recently misnamed it “Catt’s anomaly”, and
said cattq asserted that there was something wrong
with theory. http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/x54c.pdf
, ignoring their own advice; http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/x6611.htm
. What is wrong is, not classical
theory, but that it is stated in contradictory ways, southerner and
westerner. http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/x6761.htm “The Catt Question was first
broached in 1981, a third of a century ago. http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/x18j86.pdf
pp95,96. It is important that this fundamental
feature of classical electromagnetism be resolved by number one in the UK for physics research. Since Professor Oppo introduced “The Catt
Question” – “There is no Catt’s anomaly”, you will agree
that it would be very wrong for him to make no comment on it. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ The above, “number one in the UK for physics research”, makes Strathclyde well worth my time. For 30 years, no “expert” in
the world has made written comment on the first two of my articles on
Maxwell’s Equations. Then came Professor Oppo’s lecture; “The genius of James Clerk Maxwell, the
man who made equations speak”.

Dear Mr. Catt,
thank you for your message.
During the lecture I will not discuss the mathematical details of Maxwell’s
equations or their form since this is an event for the general public.
The lecture is about the legacy of the whole of Maxwell’s work and its
relevance to twentieth century technology that, I am sure we all agree,
is huge.
Best regards,
gian-luca oppo

I look forward to attending your lecture (above) at the Italian Institute,
London, on 1 December.
I would particularly value your comments to me before that date on my two
articles about Maxwell's Equations.

Also, you could of course immediately tell me whether you deal primarily with
Maxwell's quaternions, or the Heaviside-Maxwell differential equations.

Dear Mr.
Catt,
Thankyou for posting to your website my exposé [1] of numerous errors committed by Professor Gian-Luca
Oppo [2], 1796 Freeland Chair of Natural Philosophy,
Department of Physics, University of Strathclyde, in his 'criticisms' of your
two papers on Maxwell's equations [3,4]. Oppo's misconceptions as to Maxwell's equations are the
rule amidst academics and textbook writers. Consequently they do not understand
Maxwell, or you, but profess expertise and authority in electromagnetic theory
nevertheless. It's rather comical, as Oliver Heaviside would say. It's no
wonder that academics and textbook writers are spending $100,000,000.00 of
Milner's thoughtless money, using radio telescopes all around the world, trying
to contact aliens! [5]*.
I note
that the Glasgow Professor has sought refuge in silence, in the wake of his
incredible document [2]. No doubt his entire faculty will do the same, being as
they are, academics and textbook writers, thanks to whom, at large, physical
science has become a circus freak show. It is a serious matter of public
interest that must be revealed to people, who have the right to know where
their tax money is beging squandered in no small measure,
on and by academics and textbook writers pretending to science.
Yours faithfully,
Steve Crothers
