The Electromagnetic Origin of Quantum Theory and Light.

The Electromagnetic Origin of Quantum Theory and Light.

This book presents a rigorous application of modern electromagnetic field theory to atomic theory. The historical view of quantum theory was developed before four major physical principles were known, or understood. These are (1) the standing energy that accompanies and encompasses electromagnetical...
