Self-Inconsistencies of the U(1) Theory of Electrodynamics: Michelson Interferometry

  • Published:
Foundations of Physics Letters

Abstract

The Michelson interferogram from perfectly reflecting mirrors does not exist in the U(1) gauge theory of electrodynamics, which is therefore seriously flawed. The adoption of an O(3) internal gauge field symmetry allows these flaws to be remedied self-consistently and leads to several developments in electrodynamics, enriching the subject considerably.
