Has this approach been pushed to it's breaking point? Or just dismissed as a gimmick? 2017-09-03 07:01:28 Post No. 9146498

This paper discusses a CLASSICAL /radiationless/ (bound-states) electrodynamic theory... a Bohr model of the atom that seems to me (so far) to actually WORK. The trick? The introduction of retarded potentials (the speed of light is finite, stoopid).
But, you might say, nothing with the predictive power and accuracy of QM could be 'wrong'. And I would agree: QM seems to be able to predict the observables of nature... but we seem stuck with interpretations of QM that most find too bizzare to be satisfying. If QM ends up mapping 1:1 onto this classical approch, we are back to the good ol' days (I personally think people try to go too deep into 'interpretation'; it gains you literally nothing).
I could go on and on about all of this but, what does /sci/ think?

retarded potentials are old as fuck bro
Einstein learned about them and then applied their principles to all matter and he got relativity out of it
if retarded potentials could predict everything we wouldn't have needed quantum mechanics

QM is basically the idea that anything can happen as long as it fits well enough with what a person expects would be right to make them not notice.

A retarded potential is just the realization that the speed of light is finite. Einsteins contribution was to ask "yeah, but in what inertial frame is the speed of light = C?" It turned out to be all of them.
> if retarded potentials could predict everything we wouldn't have needed quantum mechanics
This is my exact point on inquiry , BRAH.
And there is more than retarded potentials at play here: the key here is finding a current density that satisfies the non-radiative condition...
This is what I've come to expect on /sci/: I post a very interesting tour-DE-force theory that can reproduce the results the QM (albeit here just in a specific case) and instead of reading the paper and seeing that it arrives at an analogous uncertainty principle, etc.... all I get is LARP.

literally take a 4th year electromagnetic class and you'll see why retarded potentials are pretty useless then you'll learn about special relativity as a replacement for them
you can fuck off with your pop sci if you're just going to disregard any criticism to your shit theory
the earliest fucking thing that retarded potentials don't account for is the photoelectric effect
as well the uncertainty principle probably pops up because retarded potential analysis is waves

Objection, OP is living proof of how retarded potentials persist.

>>9146498
There are lots of other models that can replicate QM, another one isnt that impressive. the real test is if it can match the predictive power of QFT.
