Cosmic strings in a garage-lab?
The main thing seemingly missing from Maxwell is ...closed ring-defects or "smoke rings." They appear in fluids, but not in fluid-analogy for EM fields. Some amperes trapped in a superconducting ring are similar, but b-fields are not EM Torsion. Hugo Gernsback had tiny articles about pulsed coils which launch ring-vorticies rather than EM waves. (Where would he get such an idea?) Maybe cosmic strings are accidentally produced by sharp-pulsed circuitry? If one hits you in the face, would you feel anything? (Obviously the signature to watch for is odd EM pulses which travel far *slower* than lightspeed. If coils don't detect them, maybe an NE-2 bulb might respond? Try to persuade one to coast to a halt. (Seal it in an argon-filled Mumetal box, keep it as a pet?)
RM Kiehn, heterodoxy-attracting topologist of U. Texas Houston, has this too-obscure paper below, which I've been meaning to figure out someday, found on his old site "Cartan's Corner."
