SUMMARY
AAAD QED, or Action-At-A-Distance Quantum Electrodynamics, is currently not recognized as mainstream physics. The discussion highlights that while Action-At-A-Distance Electrodynamics (AAAD ED) is accepted, AAAD QED lacks consensus within the scientific community. References to the American Physical Society's article and Physics Forums indicate ongoing debates regarding its classification. Notably, Verlinde's new theory is mentioned as potentially aligning with action-at-a-distance concepts, but no definitive mainstream definition exists.
PREREQUISITES
- Understanding of Quantum Electrodynamics (QED)
- Familiarity with Action-At-A-Distance theories
