One can understand the main points of this
story even if he (or she) does not understand the
meaning of the physical quantities that are mentioned herein.
Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) is regarded as
"the jewel of physics" of the Standard Model (SM) of particle
physics (see
here.)
(Called below link A). A quantity called the electromagnetic
4-potential (denoted by Aμ) is a crucial element of QED
(see below the title "Mathematical formulation" in link A).
In a paper published about two years ago I prove that
Aμ is mathematically wrong (see
here.)
(called below link B). These items describe the present situation:
-
A process called renormalization is an indispensable element of
QED (see link A).
-
R. P. Feynman, who was a key person in the development
of QED, has called renormalization "a dippy process" (see
here).
-
As stated above, the 4-potential
Aμ is a crucial element of QED.
-
Important textbooks make contradictory
descriptions of
Aμ
(see the Abstract of link B and
the explicit quotations on pp. 4,5 therein).
-
My paper of link B proves that
Aμ
contains inherent contradictions.
Points 2,4 indicate that this outcome is not a surprise.
-
Today I received a notice from ResearchGate that
300 persons have already read my paper (see
here).
-
In spite of these facts, as of today, I've received no
mail that refers to my paper.
Conclusion: A very important physical theory, called
"the jewel of physics", is inherently wrong, and one of its
founders said that it is based on a dippy process.
Furthermore, well-known textbooks make contradictory statements
concerning an important QED element.
Remark:
QED is an important SM sector. Unfortunately
the physical establishment completely ignores the inherent
contradictions of its theories. For example, Fermilab states:
"The Standard Model: The most successful theory ever"
(see
here).
Many other examples of groundless SM glorification can be
found in the literature and on the web.
A personal remark: I'm still waiting for somebody who really cares?
