Quantum Puzzle, The: Critique Of Quantum Theory And Electrodynamics by Barry R Clarke (PDF)

Description

In 1861, James Clerk-Maxwell published Part II of his four-part series ‘On physical lines of force’. In it, he attempted to construct a vortex model of the magnetic field but after much effort neither he, nor other late nineteenth century physicists who followed him, managed to produce a workable theory. What survived from these attempts were Maxwell’s four equations of electrodynamics together with the Lorentz force law, formulae that made no attempt to describe an underlying reality but stood only as a mathematical description of the observed phenomena. When the quantum of action was introduced by Planck in 1900 the difficulties that had faced Maxwell’s generation were still unresolved. Since then theories of increasing mathematical complexity have been constructed to attempt to bring the totality of phenomena into order with little success. This work examines the problems that had been abandoned long before quantum mechanics was formulated in 1925 and argues that these issues need to be revisited before real progress in the quantum theory of the electromagnetic field can be made.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐The author writes an in depth history of the derivation of electromagnetism and overviews Maxwell’s formulation of EM using a liquid aether model consisting of vortex tubes. The analysis of Maxwell’s work is fascinating and well explained. Drawing upon recent experimental evidence of light optical vortices that carry orbital angular momentum (which I regard as one of the most important physics discoveries in recent history), the author then extrapolates these optical vortices into closed loops to explain particle and atomic structure. This book is really a tool to convey this new model, although it is lacking peer review and jumps to some unproven conclusions. However I cannot help but feel the author is skirting around an interesting insights.:That the electron is made of a photon; That trapped photon momentum explains electromagnetic mass, yet these ideas are never explicitly discussed. Although quantum mechanics history is reviewed I don’t feel the theory actually explains any of it! Also the author doesn’t really discuss the nature of aether, even though Maxwell used it to develop EM, and probably a more complete history is contained in Whittaker’s History of the Aether and Electricity.
