That is right Harry. Nobody cares about how big it can be. :-) Actually, the integer orbitspheres of Mills include all integer values which is like the quantum theory as I understand. Practical values are limited by how easy it is to ionize the big atoms at an integer value that is far less than infinity.
This subject is one that surprises me in at least one major way. Mills predicts the atom size as being proportional to the integer directly while quantum physics suggests that it varies as the square. This is a huge difference and I can not imagine why the correct rule has not been clearly established. How could an atom be 10 times larger(int =10) in one calculation than the next without being obvious? Perhaps this discrepancy has been shown and I am not aware. Does anyone know of an accurate measurement for an excited hydrogen diameter that supports one of these theories?

I would much rather have the series continue indefinitely as I have been discussing. i.e. (1/2,1/3,...1/137,1/138...1/infinity) which would blend nicely with the other integer portion that we all assume is real. If the total series is found to be valid, then there is no special consideration needed for the 1/137 term. But, we must abide by natural laws and most times they do not care what we prefer. :( Dave -----Original Message----- From: Eric Walker <eric.wal...@gmail.com> To: vortex-l <vortex-l@eskimo.com> Sent: Sun, Jan 26, 2014 4:12 pm Subject: Re: [Vo]:Mills's theory On Sun, Jan 26, 2014 at 12:55 PM, James Bowery <jabow...@gmail.com> wrote: The theory is a photon like zitterbewegung model describing states that retain locality in phase space with circular cycles of a trapped photon representing the usual eigenstates.

Hence also the electron "becoming a photon" as it approaches the lowest level. Now we have to decide whether we can live with a series { 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, ..., 1/136, alpha(N) }.
