Abstract:
Currently, the Maxwellian version of electrodynamics is generally accepted. Admiration for Maxwell's equations reaches the point that they are deified, as if they contain all the wisdom of nature, and everything follows from them. But long before Maxwell's theory, an alternative version of electrodynamics was adopted, discovered by Ampere and developed by Weber and Gauss. Their theory was so simple and natural that almost the entire 19th century. everyone recognized only it, rejecting the vague theory of Maxwell that arose later. Only the discovery of electromagnetic waves by Hertz in 1888 led to the recognition of Maxwellian electrodynamics and the oblivion of the original theory of Ampere. But already in 1908 Walter Ritz (Fig. 1) showed that Ampere's electrodynamics explains everything known from Maxwell's theory, including electromagnetic waves, and predicts many new things, naturally leading to the fact that Maxwell only postulated. Ritz revealed the deep mechanisms of electrical, magnetic, gravitational influences, and explained relativistic effects without the theory of relativity.
