QUANTUM PUZZLE, THE: CRITIQUE QUANTUM THEORY & ELECTRODYN: Critique of Quantum Theory and Electrodynamics

In 1861, James Clerk-Maxwell published Part II of his four-part series 'On physical lines of force'. In it, he attempted to construct a vortex model of the magnetic field but after much effort neither he, nor other late nineteenth century physicists who followed him, managed to produce a workable theory. What survived from these attempts were Maxwell's four equations of electrodynamics together with the Lorentz force law, formulae that made no attempt to describe an underlying reality but s...
