Maxwell’s error and its consequences for physics

Abstract

The analysis of errors in the theories of modern physics led us to an important conclusion. There are initial errors, which then “generate” a spectrum of sec-ondary errors (erroneous consequences). We found an error made by Maxwell in the mathematical formulation of Faraday studies. In summarizing the experiments, Faraday Maxwell “lost” instantaneous action at a distance. The paper presents a proof and considers some consequences for physical theories. For example, we must consider the charge fields and the fields of electromagnetic waves as independent fields having different (mutually exclusive) properties.
