With clear illustrations throughout and without recourse to quantum mechanics, the reader is invited to revisit unsolved problems lying at the foundations of theoretical physics. Maxwell and his contemporaries abandoned their search for a geometrical representation of the electric and magnetic fields. The wave-particle dilemma and Bose-Einstein statistical counting have resulted in unsatisfactory non-realistic interpretations. Furthermore, a simple structure of the hydrogen atom that includes hyperfine levels is still wanting.
Working with the latest experimental data in photoionics a proposed solution to the wave-particle dilemma is suggested based on an array of circular-polarized rays. The Bose–Einstein counting procedure is recast in terms of distinguishable elements. Finally, a vortex model of a 'particle' is developed based on a trapped photon. This consists of a single ray revolving around a toroidal surface, and allows a geometrical definition of mass, electric potential, and magnetic momentum. With the adjustment of two parameters, values to 4 dp for the hyperfine frequencies (MHz) of hydrogen can be obtained for which a computer program is available.
Dr Barry R Clarke has a variety of interests. He has academic publications in quantum mechanics and Shakespeare studies, and has published books of original mathematics and logic puzzles for Cambridge University Press and Dover Publications. The present work is a sequel to The Quantum Puzzle: Critique of Quantum Theory and Electrodynamics. His book Challenging Logic Puzzles Mensa has sold over 100,000 copies, his academic text Francis Bacon's Contribution to Shakespeare: A New Attribution Method has attracted national media attention, and he is presently puzzle compiler for The Daily Telegraph and Prospect magazine (UK). His puzzle work and his comedy sketches have been broadcast in the UK on both BBC and ITV television.
