Topic: Oliver Heaviside

Eric Dollard praises Oliver Heaviside for providing the mathematical foundation for modern electrical engineering while being marginalized by academia. He explains Heaviside’s view that "energy" is merely a transitory state between power and electric induction. Dollard argues that the common use of the word energy is often meaningless in a strict engineering context.

Kosh explains the distinction between mainstream electricity and the flow of ether by revisiting James Clerk Maxwell’s original 19th-century equations. He uses a river analogy to describe scalar potential as static pressure and vector potential as the directional flow of the medium. Kosh argues that modern physics is limited because Oliver Heaviside removed these potentials from Maxwell's work, dismissing them as mathematical abstractions.
