TL;DR
This paper defends a new electrodynamic theory for superconductors, emphasizing the need for experimental validation and highlighting ambiguities in BCS theory's predictions of electric field screening.
Contribution
It argues that experimental tests are essential to validate the new electrodynamic equations and critiques BCS theory's ambiguous predictions regarding electric field screening in superconductors.
Findings
Proposes experimental validation for new electrodynamic equations.
Highlights ambiguity in BCS theory's electric field screening predictions.
Suggests superconducting electrons screen electric fields less effectively than normal electrons.
Abstract
I argue that the validity of the new electrodynamic equations for superconductors proposed in my paper can and should be decided by experiment. Furthermore I show that BCS theory is ambiguous in its prediction of screening of longitudinal electric fields and hence cannot be used to decide between the validity of my theory versus the conventional theory. I also give a physical argument for why screening of electric fields by superconducting electrons should be expected to be less efficient than that by normal electrons, as predicted by the new equations.
