New Era in Physics

"Electromagnetic field theory still remains far from a completed area of research, and a new era of epochmaking investigations appears now to have its dawn. Myron Evans is one of the outstanding pioneers in this field of modified and extended theories. New fundamantal properties in photon physics are thus due to Evans, such as the Evans-Vigier longitudinal magnetic field component in the direction of propagation of the photon, and an associated small but nonzero photon rest mass. As a continuation of Einsteins ideas, a new unified field theory on electromagnetism and gravitation has also been developed by Evans which debouches into a general form which reduces to all the main equations of physics in appropriate limits."

(User Info | Send a Message) http://www.suppressedscience.net | I don't want to be a naysayer, but just for balance, I would like to mention that the claims of the AIAS group to have discovered a revolutionary new theory of Electromagnetics are disputed. W. A. Rodrigues Jr. (who has authored several groundbreaking papers on electromagnetic "X-Waves" aka undistorted progressive waves) has authored a devastating critique of the claims of the AIAS group . His paper titled
The Non Sequitur Mathematics and Physics of the 'New Electrodynamics' of the AIAS Group
makes the case that
"the AIAS group collection of papers on a "new electrodynamics" recently published in the Journal of New Energy, as well as other papers signed by that group (and also other authors) appearing in other established physical journals and in many books published by leading international publishers (see references) are full of misconceptions and misunderstandings concerning the theory of the electromagnetic field and contain fatal mathematical flaws, which invalidates almost all claims done by the authors.

No energy to be extracted from the vacuum (Score: 1)

(User Info | Send a Message) http://www.zpenergy.com | (a review of a former article in this journal)
by Gerhard W Bruhn [Darmstadt University of Technology, D 64289 Darmstadt, Germany]
Phys. Scr. 74 No 5 (November 2006) 535-536
Abstract
Abstract.
A few years ago a hopeful article (Evans 2000 Phys. Scr.61
513–7) appeared in this journal promising that according to its 15
authors' opinion the pending energy crisis could be solved by
'extracting energy from the vacuum'. However, in the past years the
energy price has grown to unthinkable heights: a reason for having a
look at the promised 'energy from the vacuum' in (Evans 2000). So we
shall do so below and shall arrive at a great disappointment: the 15
authors were in error; their vacuum energy stems from a simple flaw of
thinking by misinterpreting the well-known Lorenz term of the classical
Maxwell gauge theory. Their miraculous conclusion should have made the
authors suspicious, that just the Lorenz term should yield a vacuum
current. Surely, its a pity that vacuum currents and vacuum energy in
(Evans 2000) have their origin merely in a simple flaw of thinking, and
all further speculations for a vacuum energy density are in vain.
However, better to return to reality. Quote: Abstract of [1]: Great announcements... It
is shown that if the Loren(t)z condition is discarded, the
Maxwell–Heaviside field equations become the Lehnert equations,
indicating the presence of charge density and current density in the
vacuum. The Lehnert equations are a subset of the O(3) Yang–Mills field
equations. Charge and current density in the vacuum are defined
straightforwardly in terms of the vector potential and scalar
potential, and are conceptually similar to Maxwell's displacement
current, which also occurs in the classical vacuum. A demonstration is
made of the existence of a time dependent classical vacuum polarization
which appears if the Loren(t)z condition is discarded. Vacuum charge
and current appear phenomenologically in the Lehnert equations but
fundamentally in the O(3) Yang–Mills theory of classical
electrodynamics. The latter also allows for the possibility of the
existence of vacuum topological magnetic charge density and topological
magnetic current density. Both O(3) and Lehnert equations are superior
to the Maxwell–Heaviside equations in being able to describe phenomena
not amenable to the latter. In theory, devices can be made to extract
the energy associated with vacuum charge and current.
