The tortuous journey from electric
current to energy current.
Discussion of “The Fog Clears”
The 1967 paper and its aftermath http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/x1474.htm
gives us the opportunity to gain wide-ranging insight
into scientific work and today’s lack of progress. In 1967 Catt was doing
routine research towards the practical effect of educating our customers in
what they needed to know and understand in order to successfully use our
products, digital integrated circuits. He did experiments, and had results
which confirmed classical (text book) electromagnetic theory involving electric
current and charge and electric and magnetic fields. Conventional theory and
mathematics agreed with experimental results.
Decades later, Catt made major theoretical
breakthrough, including realising that the electric current involved in both
his previous experiment and his (mainstream) theory did not after all exist.
The false postulation of electric current etc. had led to experimental results
and mathematical results which seemed to confirm false theory. We had created a
fantasy land aided by Catt 1967 http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/x147.pdf
(opposed to Catt 2040) of electric charge and current and mathematics which was
coherent but false (according to Catt’s views today 29.4.2040). However, the
charade collapses when we address a request for clarification of classical
theory, http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/cattq.htm
. This leads to contradictory replies by “experts” who then refuse to discuss
their differences, so that classical theory does not in fact exist. For it to
exist, all “experts” must sing from the same hymn sheet. With the disappearance
of classical theory, we are left with “Theory d”, which does not have such
inconsistencies. http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/d.htm
“However, the charade collapses when we address a
request for clarification of classical theory, http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/cattq.htm
.” (29.4.2040).
It’s worse than that. The facade (including Catt
1967) collapsed when confronted with “The First Catt Question”, “The Second
Catt Question” and “The Third Catt Question”.

Then came experimental refutation of classical (text book)
electromagnetism, with their stationary electric field. No professor whose
reputation rests partly on electromagnetic theory will make any comment
whatsoever on the Wakefield experiments, except for Professor Alex Yakovlev, who got one (W1) into the Royal Society Journal, http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/yak.htm and correctly predicted the results of W3.
Still, no other professor in the world will comment. http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/tong21.htm
We have to conclude that Catt 1967, along with professors and text book
writers throughout the world, suffered from “cognitive dissonance”. They are
all “parrots”, knowing how to “correctly” answer exam questions, which got them
where they are today. http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/parrot.htm
