The Revenge of Old Classical Physics: No Space for Photons or Relativity
Alvaro Quinteros Valenzuela
The old classical theory of extended elementary particles is introduced; in the first part, the basic non linear equations for stable particles are presented, together with some simple solutions for semi-infinite media. In the second and third parts, the well-known failures of classical physics in the microscopic domain are refuted with old classical arguments; the major arguments of modern physics against the application of classical physics in the microscopic domain are rejected. It is concluded that, although the old classical theory is in a immature state of development, there is no need to introduce modern concepts, like photons or relativity, to describe microscopic phenomena; they can be described in old classical terms.
