Abstract
In 2500 years of physical science, only two matter interaction paradigms have come to light, namely field theory and instantaneous action at a distance (IAAAD). While the current physics paradigm is considered to comprise a host of field theories, it is shown here that field theories can never be subjected to the scientific method as rigorously as IAAAD theories. In addition, the IAAAD electrodynamics of the 19th century was unjustifiably discarded and yet explained all of the electrodynamic phenomena known at that time and made amazing predictions which have been proved accurate although now given field theory explanation. It is shown that the current electromagnetic field theory is incapable of explaining the longitudinal component of electromagnetic force observed in flexible circuits as well as the energy transfer mechanism in induction motors and actually in all electro-mechanical circuits. The mathematics of IAAAD physics is shown to be the stepping stone required to overcome the human mental resistance to IAAAD spookiness and the possibility of a return to a IAAAD paradigm is explored.
