While you are on the topic of a controversial ether I think I should mention that in 1920 A. Einstein accepted the idea that there is an ether. Please check the following link for more on this. ```` http://www.tu-harburg.de/rzt/rzt/it/Ether.html

""The whole purpose of LPL is that it should be universal and simplified to a point where you do not need a Phd to understand it. We should be able to use it to think, speak, write, act and interact clearly with any thing that is language driven, be it human or machine."" ```` I'm curious to...

Can't find the Edit Button. The last paragraph reads better as: Finally, if there can't be real (mutual) magnetic lines of force encircling single straight current carrying wires, then it follows that there can't be real transverse magnetic waves in electromagnetic waves. Instead, the...

I would like to add a comment to this thread which may or may not be helpful. In studying magnetism, It seems clear to me that a problem arises from misconstruing what a compass needle really is indicating when it is placed near a straight current. The name magnetism was originally applied to...

In studying magnetism, and magnetic lines of force, it seems clear to me that a problem arises from misconstruing what a magnetic compass needle is really doing when it is placed near a straight direct current. The name magnetism was originally applied to certain objects (including magnetic...

Thanks for the advice Integral, But I do think I see something wrong. Check my last paragraph again. I'm sticking with that. Fairfield

Rewritten and placed in the thread titled, "A little critique on magnetic lines of force", in the Teory Development Forum.

Zooby and Ambitwister: It seems to me you just have a semantic problem going on here. The shape of the field around a steady current (or otherwise) is one detectable phenomenon. What's going on under that shape is another detectable phenoenon.

OK. Moving charges. But these charges have been somewhat usurped, maybe completley, by the positive charge that is moving them. So maybe moving charges is not the whole story. In my opinion, regarding coils and magnets, its only the effect of a different shape of the "electric" field (more...

Zooby: OK, I'll buy all that in your post above; except the second part of the quote from Albrecht brings up, again, the situation of a changing electric field, which doesn't happen much outside of an electromagnetic radiation (wave), and I think that keeps confusing you. As for the...

It still doesn't summarily dismiss magnetism as a purely secondary phenomenon, like the sound of a whistle, which is an identifiable phenonen, but which is only a rearrangement of a force which is already there (motion of air). In the case of "magnetism", a force which is always present...

Zooby: You are asking about a matter that I offered a novel opinion on on another thread, I don't know whether you read it, but I'm always happy to repeat own ideas. To reiterate the idea most simply I will point out that two close, slack, parallel wires carrying same direction currents...

Zooby: Did you catch that it is acceleration relative to an EMF that produces an electromagnetic wave, not Newtonian spatial acceleration? A constant current in a coil (with a circular EMF), although changing position relative to Newtonian space, does not radiate energy. But a constant...

Now that webtv has been exposed, may I suggest an economical computer with a Windows operating system, and all the needed extras, which can be had for about $440 (before tax and shipping) at " http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Category/category_tlc.asp?CatId=6 " If you love the...

OK Chagur, I over simplified the problem. I completely agree with you.
