Cell biology has entered the age of quantum biology. In some
situations even a single electron
matters, particularly with respect to the mind-body
dialogue. More and more bio-scientists depend on
a sound quantum physics. Biology is about stable
matter: electrons, protons, neutrons and their
relation with photons. This elicits the question: Can
we trust the ‘classic’ atomic model? The answer
is: No! This review summarises the not very much known
discoveries of Kanarev, of Thomson and
Bourassa and of Mills, who each revealed an astonishing
number of mistakes in the physics
underpinning atomic theory as it is instructed in
introductory university courses. One mistake elicits
another and that might have been the reason why the
developers of quantum theory found
themselves in front of such a difficult task. Mistakes
were found in not considering the unity of matterspace-time, in Bohr’s equation
for line spectra, in the way Maxwell’s equations are applied at the quantum level, in the way the original insights of Coulomb
were mistreated, in the historical
abandonment of the concept of the aether by the
experiment of Michelson and Morley, who disproved
a static aether, but not a dynamic one, and in the
obsession of seeing particles at all levels. In an
independent way the above authors developed their own
alternative theories in which the weird
aspects of classic quantum theory fade and become
replaced by Newtonian mechanics and simple
algebra. It is amazing how these independent theories
following entirely different approaches come to
quite similar insights. Some aspects of the new
theories will be put together and compared. They are
very complementary, reinforcing each other and together
building the main-frame for a new atomic
theory. Because these theories can only be touched
briefly, the advice is to read the original
manuscripts and start the scientific debate.
