On a recent explanation of the dynamics of the Meissner effect within the conventional theory of superconductivity
J. E. Hirsch

TL;DR
This paper critiques recent claims that the conventional theory of superconductivity accurately explains the Meissner effect dynamics, highlighting flaws in those arguments and proposing an experiment for further investigation.
Contribution
It identifies flaws in recent explanations of the Meissner effect within the conventional theory and suggests an experiment to clarify the correct dynamics.
Findings
Recent arguments are flawed and invalid
Proposed experiment to test the dynamics of the Meissner effect
Clarifies misconceptions in conventional superconductivity theory
Abstract
In Ref. [1], arXiv:2511.03384, Markos and Hlubina argue that "contrary to the expectations of Hirsch" [2] the conventional theory of superconductivity correctly describes the dynamics of the Meissner effect. Here I point out the flaws in their arguments that render them invalid, and propose an experiment to shed further light on these issues.
