No, I do not need money.
The help I need is you, young and
enthusiastic physicists. I need your hand, your faith in physics, your belief
in the progress of physics. I need some experiments to be done, some
ground-breaking ones.
The standard theory of electromagnetism
with more than 150 years has proven its great value. However, its merit must
not impede the improvement of our understanding of the electromagnetic
phenomena.
I have found some new knowledge on
electromagnetism. The big problem is that this finding contradicts the standard
theory, and the wall I encountered in the physical community is harder than the
Great Wall of China. Actually, the mainstream physicists believe in the Maxwell system
like a religion, and all questioning of it is rejected without consideration.
This immediate refusal constitutes the
greatest obstacle of progress. History has many lessons for us. The refusal of
reconsideration of the geocentrism has prevented the heliocentrism to be known.
So, never refuse to think that our present knowledge is wrong, no matter how
exact it was until now. If we have an alternative theory, why not see if it
were right? Do not blind our eyes by believing that the last theory is the
ultimate one. Horizon can never be reached, but by trying to approach it, we
will find new horizon.
The best way to decide which horse is the
fastest is to make them contest. The best way to decide which theory is best is
to do experiment. You, our generation's physicists who may complain not to live
in a glorious epoch, who dream to make great discovery, do the experiment I
propose. It confronts the predictions of the Lorentz force law and that of the
differential Ampere's force law. The outcome of experiment is the only judge.
Galileo discovered acceleration by
experiment and proved that Aristotle was wrong. Dare to be the Galileo of today
by uncovering hidden nature of magnetic force and proving that Lorentz was
wrong.
Do not fear failure, failure is an aphrodisiac
of sciences that gives birth to beautiful children. Do not fear to appear
ridiculous. Nothing is more ridiculous than to assert that train will shorten
when moving fast. Ridiculousness to the contemporary, to the standard theory,
is a characteristic of all great scientists and great ideas.
Make the true force reveal! It will be "one
small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind"!
It will not be my step, but yours. So,
let's go.
