If they can radiate, wouldn't that imply that the ground state electrons of atoms in an externally applied magnetic field can radiate as they approach the nucleus? >In a magnetic field >the spins of (quantum) particles tend to be aligned either with the >magnetic field, or opposed to it.

[snip] BTW, as Mark pointed out, the chicken-'n-egg reference was in relation to combining your theory with someone else's, not a criticism of your theory.
