[General] De Broglie Wave

Hi Al,
I have the impression that you have a solution for particle scattering
which is in some way related to the idea of de Broglie. (I also have of
course a solution). But was this the goal of our discussion and of my
original contribution? It was not! My objection was de Broglie's
original idea as stated in his thesis and as taken over by Schrödinger
and Dirac.
You have a lot of elements in your argumentation which I do not find in
the thesis of de Broglie. (There is e.g. nothing at dB about SED ore
background.)
The essential point of our discussion is the meaning of his wave - and
his wavelength. I think it is very obvious from his thesis (which you
clearly know) that his "fictitious wave" accompanies a particle like the
electron/all of the time/. There is no interaction mentioned except that
there is an observer at rest who measures the frequency of the particle.
But without influencing the particle.
Now it is normal knowledge that a frequency and as well a wavelength
appears changed for an observer who is in motion. This is caused by the
Doppler effect. But the Doppler effect will never cause that a finite
wavelength changes to Infinite if an observer moves at some speed
unequal to c. But just that happens to the wave invented by de Broglie.
It follows the equation
lambda = h/(m*v) where v is the speed difference between the particle
and the observer (to say it this time this way). And this is in conflict
to any physics we know.
Best, Albrecht
