Re: catt anomaly

63.25.20.4

I have been asked about the CATT controversy. A few months ago, I was challenged by Steve Eddy to debate Ivor Catt's issues. I decided that I could not do much with it. Some on this website have dismissed CATT and his issues, outright. I personally have found the questions that Mr Catt has addressed to be important, but I don't know whether he is absolutely correct or not. I think that it is important to realize that there are many unresolved issues in E/M theory, that Maxwell's equations (so loved by engineers and physicists) were formulated approximately 150 years ago, even before the electron was discovered. This does not make them useless, just not necessarily 100% accurate in EVERY case. The same argument can be said about Newton's laws of motion, etc.
I do not think that most on the website at this time will understand much of what Ivor Catt is getting at, and that includes me as well to some degree.
