It is here that the civilizations of Sumer, Babylon, and Assyria existed. This land is noteworthy in the Bible because it was here that the exiles were taken captive after the destruction of Jerusalem. It was also here that Abraham had lived before he set...

In general, D = E + 4πP and H = B − 4πM, where P and M are the densities of electric and magnetic polarization, respectively, while Abraham (and Minkowski) considered only linear media, where D = E and B = μH. All media except vacuum have both and μ different from unity. However, most media have μ , and most discussion [2] of the Abraham and Minkowski momenta assume that μ = 1. In this idealize...
