There should be examples where the standard theory fail and articles such as this one do not. Theories without predictions are more philosophies than useful.

View on HN

There are plenty of examples in the papers on forgottenphysics.com

e.g. https://img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/e266e5e7-739c-437c-89c3-eed...

Examples from other than the lone author. Predictions in general use,etc. although it’s often up to the new theory to expose the errors sport limitations of the existing views.

Here’s a paper not written by the author showing evidence that light has mass and therefore exerts a force, in line with the author’s hypothesis that each wavelength of light has a mass of h/c^2 (h is in Joules, not Joule seconds)

I don't have a subscription but light has momentum w/o mass. Does this paper cite the work you mentioned in the article's header?

I’m sorry the citation is in the other direction.

Here is a citation in the direction that you want. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/299858388_Roles_of_...

In short, you can catalyze chemical reactions using resonant EM waves with frequencies that are harmonics of the emission spectra of atoms as a replacement for heat or physical catalysts.

There is no requirement that an electron will jump energy levels if and only if a photon of matching frequency interacts with it. You can use microwaves instead of UV/visible light to the same effect, so long as the microwave resonates with one of the frequencies of the atom

How is photoelectric effect explained in this framework? Why microwaves won't cause release of electrons then?

The author claims that they do, so long as the microwaves resonate with a frequency in the emission spectra of the atom in question
