MM on How Protons Repel
_9 The proton is emitting a bombarding field that tends to drive off all particles that come near.
*_10 But it will drive off larger particles more successfully than smaller particles, since the smaller particles will encounter a smaller cross-section of the field.
Doubt about Above Repulsion Model
#10 is Doubtful, so it needs proof.
- As I said above, my impression is that a random spray of particles (like photons) in all directions would repel electrons as much as protons, unless the spray were not random.
- The heavy protons would be repelled a little by each photon hit, which would be more frequent because of its larger surface area.
- Lighter electrons would be repelled farther by each photon hit, which would be less often.
How to Prove Electrons Are Repelled Less
- MM calculated that each proton (at STP?) would emit 19 times the proton mass each second in photon masses.
- He also calculated the mass of a proton and the mass of a photon, so the number of photons emitted per second can be calculated from those findings.(Photons however would have several quantized masses, depending on the frequency.)
- A proton bound to an atom or ion would not have axis end over end spin, so it would only emit in 2 dimensions equatorially.
- A free proton would probably often spin in 3 dimensions, because the equator would be free to turn on the axis end over end, so the photon emission would be spread over all 3 dimensions.
- So a free proton should repel in all directions but more weakly, i.e. producing a less dense emission per area.
- A bound proton should repel strongly in 2 dimensions around its equator, but not repel at all above or below its equator.
- I think the proton's repulsion of electrons and protons can be estimated by dividing each one's cross-section area by its mass. If the ratios are proportional, I think the repulsion of both would be the same.
- Is That Correct?
- If so, what results are found from such calculations? (I hope I don't have to find all the data and make the calculations myself.)
Implications if Repulsion Is the Same
- I think MM was trying to explain why electrons seem to be attracted to protons by saying that in reality they're merely repelled less than protons are.
- But, even if they are not repelled less, it may make little or no difference for his charge model etc.
- Am I right or not?
- If not, feel free to explain.
Implications if Emission Is Non-Random
- If emissions are not random, but evenly spaced, then electrons would be able to get closer to the proton between the evenly spaced emitted photons.
