Faraday did not discover electromagnetic induction.

Nobel Prize Winner Professor Brian Josephson says this is “pure sophistry!”.

"The formulae do not give us insight, they record insight. Thus we must

study the phnomena not the formulae to gain further insight." - Sam

Interestingly, in the case of electromagnetic theory, the formulae record

the wrong insights.

It was thought that changing E causes H and changing H causes E. The

mathematics was developed to record that false insight.

The truth is that Faraday did not discover electromagnetic induction. He

discovered Crosstalk. http://www.ivorcatt.co.uk/x29j.htm . Throughout his

famous experiment, there was always and only TEM waves, electromagnetic waves.

Never was E separated from H, or vice versa.

Of course, mathematics wallahs also failed to notice that their Maxwell

formulae were in any case wrong when recording this false insight.

The proper mathematical formulation (ignoring constants in the formulae)

would be

dB/dt = H

dH/dt = B

For a century, nobody has noticed that the Maxwell formulae

dB/dt=dH/dx

dH/dt=dB/dx

are wrong for this purpose.

They do not properly state,for instance, Faraday's discovery.

It is extraordinary that this intellectual laziness has persisted worldwide

for more than a century. These lazy fellows had marvellous PR!

Pure sophistry!
