Pixel moved 10 pixels in 20 seconds: v= 10/20 = 0.5 pixels/per second. If the distance between pixels was 4 millimeters it would be 2 millimeters per second, and you can have any distance between individual locations in the sequence, they do not need to be "continuous" at all, and velocity still...

I don't see any difference. Are you saying that for some specific instant in time electron is not actually anywhere, or that it is a little bit of everywhere at once?

I'm not sure what it would prove, if anything, but if I take experimental measurements of electron orbital magnetic moment, pull it through classical magnetic and momentum equations, and arrive back at experimentally measured value, it would imply velocity still has some meaning, whatever that...

I'll only talk about the 1st one as I don't see other two are related to velocity or continuous trajectories. -- It is only "accelerating" charges which supposedly must radiate. The question here is whether orbiting with uniform velocity is really that kind of acceleration that is supposed to...

I agree, although if it is directly related to velocity then we should consider it, whether the idea originated with Bohr's atom model or wherever else, like radiation problem for example. I think many are looking in the wrong direction. Let's look at the "velocity" itself: v=s/t. It only...

I see. But that's not surprising at all even for Bohr's model. In chaos theory those states are called "strange attractors". You can see solar systems and galaxies settle in "stationary states" as well. It's just a natural way to conserve and balance the energy of the system, through the...

There can be only one correct explanation. For the 3rd scenario when both the disk and the magnet are spinning together, some say it's because magnetic field stay static, some say it's because current is induced in connecting wires, and as far as I know only you say it is because of...

I'm pretty sure in dozens of papers and articles I went through someone would have mention something about it, but instead what I saw is that the same effects are described for either type of homopolar generator. Magnet rotating alone when the disk is stationary will not produce current...

Bohr's model must be flawed because it does not even attempt to model neither Biot-Savart nor intrinsic spin magnetic moment. But I'm not concerned with any general theory, I'm specifically only talking just about "velocity", and whether QM really forbids trajectories to be continuous, or not...

Exactly. But, on the other hand, classical predictions can be proven wrong, and I am yet to see that is indeed the case for continuous deterministic trajectories. I'm not saying QM got it wrong, I'm saying QM doesn't really exclude continuous trajectories, and if it actually does, then I'd like...

Can you point out the problem more specifically?

It's the first kind of homopolar generator Faraday used and with which the paradox most likely originated. I think disk shaped magnets covering the whole of conducting disk only came into existence later on. In all the papers and articles about either the paradox or homopolar generators I...

Thanks. Only, it doesn't seem to match Biot-Savart law: I get joules per meters squared, and I thought I was supposed to get tesla, but tragedy is that neither match those "magnetic moment" units. I can not compare unless they have the same units. What am I missing here?

I didn't know that works as an atomic model theory, I only know about it for the double-slit experiment. Is it one of accepted "mainstream" explanations, and it has continuous trajectories?

Ok. Do you know if electron orbital magnetic moment can actually be measured? I imagine it would be very difficult to decouple from its spin magnetic moment and that of the proton. Also momentum, can we actually measure it, and how?
