Report Abstract: At the beginning of the New Year 2022, top academic greats officially and publicly released major original scientific research results to the society, announcing the expansion of the most fundamental set of Maxwell's equations in physics for moving media. The news was met with much debate and controversy from all quarters. In this report, we review the general process of this controversy and briefly introduce the current interpretation of this issue in the physics community, and look back at the two courses dedicated to Maxwell's equations in university physics today - Electromagnetism and Electrodynamics.

Welcome all teachers and students to share and learn!
