Abstract

As quantum-physics now a days tries to re-frame and explain electric and magnetic field phenomena, we must not be mislead over the fact that quantum-physics remains a "stepdaughter" of field-physics based solely on postulates, until eventually it will have found a way to calculate its quanta. Furthermore, field-physics is at least 25 times older and can be traced back all the way to the early Greek natural philosophers. Vortex-physics is another offspring of field-physics, however it has been systematically rejected by quantum-physics. Which in turn often times has a lot to do with politics and not always with science. It could in fact be the case that vortex-physics has been suppressed by its own "sister", ever since it too has produced distinguished representatives.A mathematical derivation shows that the currently known formulas and laws of electrodynamics are incomplete and insufficient in describing all its associated phenomena. Via a new formulation and extension of Maxwell?s equation it becomes possible to calculate a potential-vortex, its effect on the dielectric medium can be measured and its existence made evident through observable natural phenomena.
