DO WE REALLY UNDERSTAND MAGNETISM?

Commentary: Responding to an invitation to contribute an article on magnetism, the author here presents the case that the physicists who regard ferromagnetism as an electron spin property are deceived by the Dirac philosophy. As a result they are not engaging in the research needed to make "the breakthrough by which we can access a cheap, safe and abundant source of energy that will suffice for all future needs."
