New Theories / Re: Could quantum mechanics be wrong?
« Last post by McQueen on Today at 12:00:36 »Quantum electrodynamics is considered the most accurate theory in the history of science. This precision is all based on a single experimental value - the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron called the g-factor. In this episode, I want to examine a paper by Oliver Consa who examines the very suspicious coincidences, errors, mathematical inconsistencies and renormalisation infinities which have been swept under the rug.
I remember reading about this the first time and thinking how remarkable it was that this problem of infinities could be so successfully dealt with, a precision of 1011 or something like that was quoted. When I investigated a little further I found that it had nothing to do with dealing with infinities and everything to do with the anomalous magnetic movement of the electron.
