Paper [2] even contains experiments that should be easy to replicate (and will obviously not work). It&amp;#x27;s probably complete BS. There is a paper [3] that derives the Maxwell equations from quaternions and introduces a scalar quantity called &amp;quot;Temporal Field&amp;quot;. If you completely disregard gauge freedom like all those &amp;quot;theories&amp;quot; you can do all kinds of fun things. But those things don&amp;#x27;t describe what we see in nature. 1.: https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/cia-RDP96-00792R0005002... 2.: https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP96-00788R0019006... 3.…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/math-ph_0307038/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.

I attended a virtual conference by Richard Banduric a few months ago which I was reminded of when I saw this item. His presentation/lecture is here if you&amp;#x27;re interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPzG2frOzZ8 I&amp;#x27;ve been doing a deeper dive to try to find some corroboration for the &amp;quot;additional&amp;quot; scalar element - there&amp;#x27;s a lot of obvious junk science around the work of e.g. Tom Bearden (cheniere.org), but I&amp;#x27;ve also found this, which calls it a &amp;quot;temporal field&amp;quot; but seems to be a similar derivation…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/math-ph_0307038/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.
