New Theories / Re: Could quantum mechanics be wrong?
« on: Yesterday at 13:02:36 »That this is indeed the case can be seen in the working of atomic clocks that depend on the oscillation of the fine structure valence electrons in the Caesium 130 atomCaesium 130 barely exists.
Also, the unrealistic scenario of where an incoming photon with a wave-length of 500 nm is supposed to be absorbed by an electron that is 5.6 billion times smaller than itself. How is it possible? TI have a portable radio which is able to receive long wave broadcasts with a wavelength of 1500 metres or so.
What's the basis for your view that the size of the receiver is important?
It is apparent therefore, that when we speak of a photon possessing a frequency of 500THz, it means exactly that, the electron is absorbing and emitting photons at the rate of 500 trillion photons per second.We are not.
A 500 THz photon carries about 3X 10^-22 J of energy.
If you delivered 5 X 10^ 14 of them per second that would be a power of 0.15 microwatts.
So, even a small number of electrons (say a million) doing that would represent a significant amount of power.
That's impossible.
It gets even more absurd if you do the same simplistic maths with visible light.
So it's clear that you do not understand what's going on.
