I was careful not to promote my own ideas. I just quoted from history. Lorentz's derivation of the contraction from Maxwell's equations is back in print thanks to Dover. He identifies Maxwell'e wave equation in electric potential and Possion's equation as special cases of the same equation and...

Surely, the point of the twins paradox was to contrast the relativity theory of Lorentz and Poincare with Einstein's theory. In the former, the slowing of clocks is a real physical effect derived from Maxwell's equations. In Einstein's theory, it is an artefact of observation depending on the...

It is more than a number, it is a frequency corresponding to a coupling energy between the nuclear magnetic moment and the electron. Can QM calculate the energy levels of the doublet?

I have searched in vain for a detailed calculation of the frequency 9192631770 Hz from basic physical constants using Quantum Mechanics. Can anyone help with this please
