==Abstract==

Some of the problems, paradoxes, and clutter within the mathematical physics of the past few centuries are briefly reviewed.  Catt's concept of illusory static fields created by TEM waves replaces  the electrostatic and magnetostatic field concepts, removing any number of these paradoxes at once.  Z<sub>0</sub>, the vacuum wave impedance, is a physical constant as fundamental as the speed of light; together they replace permittivity and permeability.  A units system- 'MNSZ', is proposed in which either the ohm or Z<sub>0</sub> replaces the ampere, allowing physical constants and equations to be rewritten without reference to coulomb, generally in a more compact form.  By replacing the dielectric constant with the index of refraction, the common electrical equations are reduced to more compact forms that highlight the wave nature of the purported electric charge.  Several example applications are shown, including a compact new expression for the voltage of the photon. Recent experimental results are presented which refute the exponential-decay model of a discharging capacitor.
