Abstract
Maxwell's equations with Lorentz's gauge are shown to predict the existence of longitudinal electro-magnetic waves. These are waves of scalar potential and vector potential. A necessary condition of the longitudinal waves cancellation is proved. Discussion shows that electrodynamics must deal with two kinds of fields: transverse electromagnetic waves and fields of charges. This work is presented in memory of Dr. T. Theodorsen [1], and all other scientists who have regarded Einstein's theory as nonsense.
