Inherent Differences between Bound and Radiation Fields

Abstract

The purpose of the paper is to use fundamental theoretical and experimental elements of electrodynamics for deriving properties of radiation fields and of bound fields. A wide variety of examples prove that radiation fields and bound fields do not represent the same physical object. This conclusion is new. Some examples belong to the classical domain and others belong to the quantum domain. Consequences of this outcome affect several physical issues. In particular, these fields should be treated separately. For this reason, changes must be introduced to the present form of the fields' Lagrangian density of quantum electrodynamics, where the fields tensor F µν is a sum of bound and radiation fields. Since the Lagrangian density is a key element of the theory, its revision may entail changes of other specific issues. The recent failure of quantum electrodynamics to explain the electron and the muon data of the proton charge radius supports this conclusion.

The Impact of the Quark’s Monopole Properties on the Unification of the Fundamental Physical Forces

“…However, it has to be taken into account that Dirac's monopole is driven by the wish to prove the quantized nature of electric charge. As pointed out by Comay [5,12,13,14] . However, whereas full symmetry would require a vector potential A such that…”

“…Unlike a gamma photon, the gluon is subject to dispersion. The dispersion is due to the 2  term in the Proca wave equation (12). This term is a consequence of the energetic ambient field, known as the Higgs field.…”

The Impact of the Quark’s Monopole Properties on the Unification of the Fundamental Physical Forces

“…However, it has to be taken into account that Dirac's monopole is driven by the wish to prove the quantized nature of electric charge. As pointed out by Comay [9,16,17,18] in his Regular Charge Monopole Theory (RCMT), this wish has spoiled the symmetry of Dirac's monopole theory. Dirac's theory as well as Comay's theory is fully symmetrical under the substitutions…”

The Rise and Fall of the Electromagnetic 4-Potential

“…Now, radiation fields are associated with a photon, which is a well-known quantum particle. These conflicting spin and parity values prove that whether or not bound fields represent a genuine quantum particle, radiation fields and bound fields are inherently different physical entities (see also [13]).…”
