Atom in a New Light: orbiting electrons do not radiate and Rutherford atom is stable (original) (raw)
—Long held belief that the Rutherford atom where electrons orbiting the nucleus was unstable and the electrons would spiral down due to radiation is incorrect. Charge particles moving at constant speed on circular orbits do not radiate. Rutherford atom is stable. Object and its inverse square law fields are a single entity; they have no independent existence. Inverse square law fields exist relative to the object, and they are independent of the motion of the object. Inverse square law fields are not waves, they do not propagate, and they do not satisfy Maxwell's equations. Gravitational and Coulomb electric fields are time invariant. Magnetic field of a charge moving at constant speed on a linear path or on a circular orbit is time invariant. Not all accelerating charge particles radiate; charge particles at stand still under gravity are at acceleration, yet they do not radiate. Only the charge particles with non-zero speed along the accelerating force radiate. A Moving charge particle with time varying velocity relative to the current position of the particle generates a magnetic field of independent existence, which in turn generates its electric field counterpart resulting in an electromagnetic wave burst that satisfies the Maxwell's equations. Radiation is real, not relative. Reality is not relative. If the radiation is relative, existence of matter is not possible. It is not possible to make charge particles radiate just by running away from them, as it is not possible to move a mountain just by running away from it. Charge particles cannot lose energy by riding on a passenger seat of a vehicle. The net force on a charge is observer independent. Time and Radiation is observer independent or absolute. Any phenomenon that is observer dependent is an observer perception that is not real. Only a motion of a charged object relative to its current position leads to radiation, and observer independent real physical contraction. Physical reality is independent of observers. Moving charged object with non-zero speed along accelerating force radiates, and moving object contracts in all directions; they are observer independent physical realities.
