To the non-electromagnetic theory of light

It is shown that the thermodynamic form of the equations describing processes in current-carrying systems is more general than Maxwell's equations. The erroneousness of his concept of a single electromagnetic field has been revealed. On the basis of the thermodynamic derivation of the Maxwell equations proposed earlier in their field form, a critical analysis of the postulates laid down in the basis of its electromagnetic theory of light is given, and its internal and external inconsistency is revealed. Numerous experimental data are presented, which indicate the existence of non-electromagnetic radiation. The conclusion is made that the theory of Maxwell is essentially limited and that it is necessary to develop a more general concept of light based on the existence of non-baryonic matter with properties identical to the ether and free from the contradictions of the electromagnetic theory.
