catt anomaly

212.228.152.5

"The Catt Anomaly" should have been called "The Catt Question". Professor M Pepper FRS and Dr Neil McEwan, Reader in Electromagnetism, contradict each other on a fundamental feature of classical electromagnetism, which both of them earn salary teaching. The rest of academia is split down the middle, between "Southerners" (Pepper) and "Westerners" (McEwan). They refuse to say whether they agree or disagree, or to discuss the matter with each other, or with us. In their refusal, they are joined by the rest of academia who earn salary for "teaching" classical electromagnetism, which they all refuse to define.
Criticism of Catt's views or technical competence are beside the point. Catt wants to learn from these salaried luminaries, and they refuse to teach him or each other.
I accept one posting which asserts that no advances in electromagnetic theory beyond its status in 1920 are allowed. All I want to know is, what was the theory in 1920, and so what is it today?
