Many of you will have heard of these. Does anyone knowledgeable on conventional electromagnetics, suspect there may be some truth in it?
Wikipedia.org labels Scalar Wave theory as pseudoscience. You need to provide some credible references (preferably in refereed professional journals), or this thread will be deleted. We do not permit crackpot theories here on the PF.Many of you will have heard of these. Does anyone knowledgeable on conventional electromagnetics, suspect there may be some truth in it?
Sounds like a reasonable idea, as long as Ivan is okay with it. Moved from EE to S&D, at least for now.Why don't you transfer it into the scepticism and debunking section. Hopefully some experts from here will give it an informed assessment.
So this section is for credible references?Barring your location of a credible reference there is nothing to discuss.
Now you got me excited. You have observed personally an odd result in electromagnetics that does not match current physics? What was it?An actual odd result is a different matter.
I think his comment was posted as I was moving this thread from EE to S&D. S&D still has rules, however, so be sure to check them to see what documentation you should provide.So this section is for credible references?
Not strictly electromagnetics, but the solar neutrino issue was a puzzle for many years of experimental observations, and was only solved recently:Now you got me excited. You have observed personally an odd result in electromagnetics that does not match current physics? What was it?
Berkeman beat me out the gateSo this section is for credible references?
Not in electromagnetics, well ok, I think the self focusing of a high power laser is pretty odd.Now you got me excited. You have observed personally an odd result in electromagnetics that does not match current physics? What was it?
We can only reference published works.Using only the classical Maxwell equations on the spacetime of general relativity, I obtain a current-charge wave propagating at c, accompanied by a Coulomb wave (scalar to you folks). I was looking for charge-current density solutions that satisfied Laplace's equation.
Figure that out.
A Coulomb wave is a wave of the Coulomb field or E-field? Isn't that a vector field?a current-charge wave propagating at c, accompanied by a Coulomb wave (scalar to you folks).
How do we debunk something if we do not reference it?We can only reference published works.
Is Tom Bearden's theory, a personal theory? Was Einstein's theory of relativity a personal theory in 1919? Every theory starts as a personal theory in someone's head.If we have a formal reference, we can use it, but personal theories will result in the thread being locked, and penalty points will be assigned.
I've seen that too. But this guy Tom Bearden seems extremely well-versed in vector calculus and other math. I have seen some of his equations, can't give a link to them yet.A lot of guys coming up with ideas and swapping lies 'cause math is hard.
Einstein was published in mainstream journals.Is Tom Bearden's theory, a personal theory? Was Einstein's theory of relativity a personal theory in 1919? Every theory starts as a personal theory in someone's head.![]()
And if today's Einstein comes here and posts his draft theory of modified relativity, how will we debunk it, if we can't read it?
