Yes, science has been wrong before. However, the above is 19th century physics that is the basis for everything from broadcast communications to radar to medical technology (MRI anyone?) and astronomy. Challenging the inverse-square law is roughly on par with flat eartherism: it’s not that the subject is unquestionable, it’s that you need more than a radical prouncement and a wild look in your eye.
I hope so – forty years as an electrical engineer (retired) and the last three as a physics student [1], Maxwell’s Laws might as well be tattooed on my forehead.
[1] I don’t golf or play cards, can’t stand television. And there’s a kick-arse university a mile from here.
