| Sep 24, 2011 at 18:57 | comment | added | Ron Maimon | The acceleration of a quantum particle is given by the operator $dp\over dt$, which is only zero if the particle is in a plane wave. The hydrogen ground state is accelerating. Everything you said is wrong, so it is hard to find one error. | |
| Sep 24, 2011 at 13:59 | comment | added | Marty Green | It's hard for me to understand what you are trying to tell me. In what interpretation are the charges accelerating in the ground state of hydrogen? More to the point, when you say "this is not correct" I'm wondering if you can identify one specific error in what I said? | |

The Bohr model with its quantum jumps is more accurate than the 1926 Schrodinger description, because the wavefunction cannot be a classical field, because for two electrons its in 6 dimensions. For more particles, you get many decohered worlds and wavefunction collapse, and the charges are accelerating in all solutions, including the ground state of Hydrogen. | |
