I have presented in a cordial, clear and concise way, an error in a
fundamental prediction made by QED. I have presented these data according to
the scientific method, that is, make the most accurate up-to-date prediction
and compared it to accurate unbiased experimental data. I have shown a
statistically significant difference between an unbiased observed Rydberg
constant for hydrogen and a modern QED prediction. Yet, the supposed
"experts" on this list refuse to accept the embarrassing truth, that QED is
way, way off the mark. This implies a significant bias in you supposed
"experts," a sure sign of being a poor scientist. Perhaps all of you simply
do not understand what a Rydberg constant for an atom is in relationship to
its ground state energy. If so, please do not consider yourself "expert" in
any manner, because if you don't understand that, you don't understand even
the fundamentals of your own theory.

With regards to the NIST/CODATA site, don't you find it strange that nowhere
on that site can an experimentally determined Rydberg constant for hydrogen
can be found? Since QED claims to be unbelievably accurate in its
predictions, one would think that would absolutely be one of the very things
always presented to support such a claim.

What I will repeat again, is the fact that these PPT slides were for a
"simplistic" level of sophistication has no effect at all on the observed
value presented in them. Data is data,

The powerpoint slides are not data. I don't care about the level of
the material is. I care about the accuracy. If you whole argument if
based on a powerpoint slide you better spend a little more time in a
library and not in newsgroups.

What if I quoted some "data" off a powerpoint slide that agreed with
me. Would you be happy?

Could you provide a link to your presentation.

Yes, please see the thread entitled "Inaccurate QM Prediction for
Hydrogen."

I found a link in your post to PPT slides.
http://www.lancs.ac.uk/users/spc/teaching/py301/phys301.htm

But the slides may provide a SIMPLIFIED account for students.

To prove that QM EXPERTs have made an inaccurate prediction I think
you really need to provide links to QM physics papers that have made
an inaccurate prediction.

I have. In the pasts discussions, I provided a link to a "modern" (1994) QED
prediction. Please see the past posts. And if you don't want to take the
time to read them, I don't want to take the time to say it again.



So as I understand you believe that the experimental and theoretical
values for the hydrogen levels given in the CODATA article are wrong
and that nonrelativistic quantum mechanics gives better values.

Is this right?

How about this. Take your "reference" and calculate the energy levels
given in the CODATA paper. I bet they don't agree with theory or the
experimental data given. What then? Who is right? It must be a
conspiracy and you have uncovered it. I confess.

It clearly explains how to derive an empirical Rydberg constant based on
unbiased spectroscopic data. It even shows how to correct for the fact that
the data are taken in air. All you have to do is a linear regression and
estimate the slope. The experimental error (standard error of the estimate),
even going back a long while ago, was about +/- 1-2^m-1. This is plenty good
enough to show the significant difference between the observed and the
predicted.

What value are you calming this chemistry lab experiment is giving, as
the Hydrogen Rydberg constant, (13.58 eV?) at the same level of
accuracy as a QED calculation.

so one must read one hundred carp posts in that thread in order to get
your crap link to your crap whatever you said you did

you are crap by definition, buy a brain fool

If you think I'm crap, I would think you would not want to smell my crap.
I
suggest you do not participate in any of the threads I participate in. Why
would you want to?

Steve Bell

I should have said you should not participate in any of the threads I have
initiated. If you think I spew only crap, like I said, why would you want to
hear anything I have to say?

I definitely dont, just wonder you are insulting yourself

Please come back when you are sure you really have
something to say

For someone who is making such bold statements, one would think they
would do a little resreach, but I guess that would be asking too much,
to disprove your own claims. The theoretical prediction for the
ioninzation of hydrgoen can be found here

http://prola.aps.org/abstract/RMP/v72/i2/p351_1

This is nothing but the CODATA report for 1998. Any good library
should have this. They use this value in an indirect way and not to
compare with the experimental value. Again, for many reasons, I would
think the experimental value isn't as well know as other quantities.

Come to think of it, maybe we shouldn't believe in QED until everyone
of the infinite number of the energy levels in hydrogen are calculated
to 14 decimal places and experimentally verified. So start
calculating.

Please forgive my transgression, but I personally find using lab
projects and powerpoint slides as references hard to swallow (who
knows when or where the values they cite came from) especially when
used to try and debunk well established theoretical and experimental
evidence. I'm sure if one spent a little time doing a literature
search through the journals more reliable sources could be found.

No, I find it strange that some cretins and bigots cannot answer the

It doesn't cost much or none at all. You can go to any good
university library. They usually have all the back issues of Journals
available which you can look through for free or photocopy for a few
cents.

For all I know the references you point to are quoting nothing more
than R_H obtained from R_\infity with an experimentally determined
reduced mass for hydrogen and not an actual experimental value.

You have completely missed the point of what I am saying. If its true that
the value was used "in an indirect way and not to compare with the
experimental value," then like I have said, you have completely missed the
point I am making.

I do not need to buy this document to find an accurate observed R_H. If you
have it the above CODATA article, please quote the R_H value from it. Here
is a document that shows R_H based on unbiased spectroscopic data:

http://alpha.chem.umb.edu/chemistry/ch379/documents/exp2_Hatom_000.pdf

It clearly explains how to derive an empirical Rydberg constant based on
unbiased spectroscopic data. It even shows how to correct for the fact that
the data are taken in air. All you have to do is a linear regression and
estimate the slope. The experimental error (standard error of the estimate),
