Hi Chip,


I am sorry that I almost forget to answer this contribution of you which 
you have sent some time ago. But I should answer anyway and I still have 
some questions to your explanations and your calculations.

But this is still an open question for me. It was always assumed (and 
accepted) that the electrons in an atom are bound to the nucleus by the 
electric force. So the electric bound causes the orbits of the 
electrons. If there is now a change (even if a small one) of the orbits 
described by alpha and on the other hand alpha is the ratio of the 
electric force to the strong force, then also the strong force has to 
influence the orbit. In which way would this happen?

Again the same question: how does the influence of the strong force can 
enter here physically?

Again: how can alpha influence the velocity here if part of it is the 
strong force? And why is the velocity of the electron proportional to α*c/n?

If you calculate the de  Broglie wavelength from the frequency you have 
to use the phase speed of the de Broglie wave. This phase speed is 
normally (for object velocities clearly lower than c) a large multiple 
of c. Where did you determine the phase speed and where did you use it 
in your calculations? - And how is Zitter determined?
