Abstract

An ad hoc correction of a theoretical error does not change other elements of the relevant theory. The mathematical structure of theoretical physics indicates that a removal of the root of an error has a much more profound meaning than that of just correcting an error. Herein, this general principle is applied to four physical issues: the standard derivation of the electromagnetic energy-momentum tensor; gauge transformations of the 4-potential of electromagnetic fields; the idea called the hadronic structure of the photon; the  factor that aims to project a quantum function into a parity violating form. The erroneous root of each of these issues is discussed and an appropriate line of research is suggested.

Keywords: Error correction, energy-momentum tensor, gauge transformations, hadronic structure of the photon, parity violation
