Abstract
The Michelson interferogram from perfectly reflecting mirrors does not exis t in the U(1) gauge theory of electrodynamics, which is therefore seriously flawed. The adoption of an O(3) internal gauge field symmetry allows these flaws to be remedied self-consistently and leads to several developments i n electrodynamics, enriching the subject considerably.
