Re: New impoved facts part 1v03


Hint:
If you *hope* to measure the speed of light as constant at a
point in space, there must be a structure (with charges)
near the point to tell the light what speed it should go. ;-)

<< The quantity alpha, which is equal to the ratio v1/c where v1
is the velocity of the electron in the first circular Bohr
orbit and c is the speed of light in vacuum, appeared
naturally in Sommerfeld's analysis and determined the
size of the splitting or fine-structure of the hydrogenic
spectral lines.
