Correcting some historic mistakes

  • correcting mathematical mistakes in physics

    Andras.. what is your opinion on the differing interpretations

    of the cause of anomalous Rutherford Scattering?


    1932- 2015-= strong force..


    Bernard Schaeffer post 2015= magnetic force

    "

    Rutherford discovered the electrostatic nuclear scattering formula.

    Unfortunately, there was a discrepancy for kinetic energies above the so-called Rutherford singularity.

    Even after the discovery of the proton and neutron magnetic moments, the physical nature of the anomalous Rutherford scattering

    is still assumed to be due to a hypothetical strong force.

    It has been discovered that the repulsive long range electrostatic Coulomb and the short range magnetostatic Poisson potentials,

    respectively in 1/r and in 1=r3,

    explain the whole Rutherford scattering

  • Robert: I think that Schaeffer has an important insight there, and we cite this observation in the book.

    If Rutherford's contemporaries would have noticed this electromagnetic "coincidence", they might have reconsidered thinking that it is a new force.
