"Last April, Masud Mansuripur, an electrical engineer at the University of Arizona in Tucson, claimed that the equation that determines the force exerted on an electrically charged particle by electric and magnetic fields—the Lorentz force law—clashes with relativity"
A chorus of scientists (relativists/mathematicians) shouted him down, referring to "hidden momentum".The response:
"Masud is completely convinced that he's right, but he's not," says Stephen Barnett, a commenter from the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, U.K.
Aside from the atrocious quality of the article and the multitude of double quotation marks, i thought the "fact" that an electrical engineer can not possibly be right clouded the judgment of these faux-pas scientists.
