>Maxwell put together a theory on electromagnetism, but much of the legwork had already been done, and there are better formulations of the theory.
I'm interested in what Maxwell stood on, care to point me in the correct direction on this?

Indeed so! I've read a fair deal around Tesla's scalar waves, and I'll proclaim that this introduction was by far the simplest and most concise I have seen, and its experiment far more personally reproducible than what I have heretofore seen devised. My dream of fashion a scalar wizard staff may be within reach.

>We repeat the experiment reported in a controversial publication of Monstein and Wesley, in which they claimed to have detected longitudinal electromagnetic waves in free space, a phenomenon incompatible with Maxwell’s equations. While we are convinced that Maxwell’s equations are valid and that longitudinal EM waves do not exist, we recognized that the radiation pattern observed in the MW experiment was itself interesting, while noting that no one had actually repeated MW’s experiments.

haha, don't tell this author that the apostrophe s doesn't belong beside Maxwell, those were Gibbs Heavisides simplifications for the use of the telegraph!
Maxwell

>“I am getting converted to Quaternions, and have put some in my book, in a heretical form...” [2]

In his scientific description of electromagnetism, Maxwell used what he called a “heretical form” of
quaternion algebra, which explicitly separated the three imaginary dimensions (i,j,k) from the real part
representing a radial length or coordinate triplet (x,y,z). He stated emphatically that tensors and
vectors were inadequate mathematical tools to correctly encapsulate the electromagnetic fields and
forces. He also quietly discussed with colleagues how one might detect and measure “non-
observable” or “hidden” spatial dimensions, which he conceived of as “storing energy”, both kinetic
and potential, in the elastic fabric of space itself. [3]

>Resonant effects wouldn't be noticed in a holographic universe because it lacks the compounding texture of material physics.
coolest idea I've read in awhile. When I'm imagining the high dimensional algebras in application to electrodynamics, i frequently consider the overwhelming amount of degrees of freedom (like its a chemistry molecule in an NMR machine). But this is quite a compelling point, if the point on the fano plane is only reached by a holographic projection from a higher dimensional algebra, what on earth would be doing any vibrating.

Maxwell, my man, perhaps not all dimensions require elastic bands
