  The incompatibility between Larmor's formula for radiation losses (at a rate
proportional to square of the acceleration of the electric charge) and the
radiation reaction (the rate of loss of momentum of the accelerated charge
proportional to its rate of change of acceleration) was recently shown to arise
because a proper distinction is not kept between radiation losses calculated in
terms of a retarded time and those expressed in terms of a "real time".
However, the occurrence of this disparity between two formulations is usually
reconciled in literature by proposing an acceleration-dependent Schott energy
lying somewhere in the nearby electromagnetic fields of an accelerated charge.
But nobody has yet unambiguously demonstrated where the Schott energy actually
lies in the fields. By scrutinizing electromagnetic fields of a uniformly
accelerated charge, a mathematically tractable case, we show that contrary to
the ideas prevalent in the literature, there is no evidence of any
acceleration-dependent Schott energy-momentum in the electromagnetic fields,
anywhere in the near vicinity of the charge or elsewhere. Accordingly, we
expose the fallacy of the Schott energy-momentum term, which should henceforth
be abandoned, in the electromagnetic radiation formulation.
