You've taken a little liberty with what I've said. The B field is not
fundmental. Is that better? I guess Weber was a bigger crank than me,
even though he finally got Maxwell's attention and a full endorsement
of the theory by him before all was said and done.

So tell me more about Weber's theory and your theory that matches it.
I looked at the Assis book preview but it isn't quite clear to me [and
missing pages don't help matters] what is going on beyond that Weber
is taking into account retardation from moving charges (or is he?).
The fact the Weber theory is from the 1850s is in itself amazing and
also implies it needs a good modern review in the light of current
knowledge. So how do I find out more without forking over the $150 to
Amazon for this book? Do you have any good online references or
summaries of the Weber Theory?
