Greetings, everyone. Over the past week I made some mathematical discoveries that allowed me to unravel some of the mysteries regarding the fine structure constant, and how it arises when comparing three intrinsic lengths (the ground state Bohr radius, the Compton wavelength of the electron, and the classical electron radius). These equations take Znidarsic's work to another level. The key was finding a new way to express the mass of the electron in terms of fundamental constants. I found it by fluke. Anyway, I am able to share these ideas now because my paper was accepted by General Science Journal (not a lofty achievement, I know... I was just trying to get published before sharing). I am not posting this to try to pander for people on this email list to read it. That is not my aim.. I just know that some people in this list have already expressed interest in this subject, that's why I am sharing.
The fine structure constant's application to these three fundamental lengths has been a mystery for most of the past 100 years. It is a mystery no longer. The pertinent section starts at page 27. http://www.wbabin.net/ntham/davis.pdf Also in my conclusion I give a causative explanation for why the electron cannot radiate energy past the ground state... but this will make no sense without reading the full paper. I would have made it less than 40 pages if at all possible, sorry about that... I felt I needed to explain things thoroughly or else it would make no sense. Peace.
