Abstract

Below is a summary of  communication with Dr Jean de Climont a number of weeks ago, as he             wrote as follows: “Einstein began his famous 1905 paper by stating that a moving magnet has an            electric field around it, in addition to its magnetic field. This is in line with the interpretation of              the Faraday's experiment by Maxwell in the Maxwell-Faraday equation. But, this electric field          should deviate a cathode ray in addition to the deviation resulting from the magnetic field of a             moving magnet. Such an additional deviation has never been observed.”
