RE: What did Lorentz and Zeeman do to win the Nobel Prize for physics in 1902?
That is a great article. I enjoyed reading it. I have two side remarks (just to trigger discussions):
- The particle physicist in me like to unify all Maxwell equations in one, or actually 2 (this is where special relativity helps). Unification can indeed be pushed even further (that is a kind of a grail to reach today).
- If we symmetrise Maxwell equations in the two fields, we end up with magnetic monopoles. Those are still searched for today (and not found, which is a good news as this would mean we should generalise Maxwell's equations).
Cheers!
Thanks... :)
Taking the two equations /Ampere / Gauss) and generalizing them and then working with quadrivectors and contravariant tensors for me is crazy, I'm not Benjamin Fucks or Sheldon Cooper hahaha I better stick to my experimental physics hahaha
Do you think you can discover the asymmetry in the magnets? This would give a complete turn to physics and reformulate the law of Gauss and Lorentz force.. or do you not want that to happen? @lemouth
I am not "Benjamin Fucks" myself too... I have one less 'c' :D
I would be happy with anything that changes our vision of the world, TBH ^^
Sorry hehe would be fantastic to reformulate the Maxwell equations :D
Although maybe Maxwell wouldn't be too happy :P
I think that he won't care... at least anymore ;)
