A new look at electrons

Staff Reporter

A group of Yale researchers has made the first accurate measurements of a constant electric current that flows through metals without applied voltage.
In a study published in the Oct. 9 issue of Science, Yale researchers demonstrated that electric currents can flow continuously through resistant objects such as metals without dissipating energy. The finding, which was validated with precise measurement of a current through tiny metal rings, resolves nearly two decades of contradictory findings in the field.
“The idea that electrons flow around a nucleus of an atom is an old...

Einstein was right about the shortcomings of Quantum Mechanics and so therefore String Theory is also the incorrect approach. As an alternative to Quantum Theory there is a new theory that describes and explains the mysteries of physical reality. While not disrespecting the value of Quantum Mechanics as a tool to explain the role
of quanta in our universe. This theory states that there is also a classical
explanation for the paradoxes such as EPR and the Wave-Particle Duality. The Theory is called the Theory of Super Relativity and is located at:

This theory is a philosophical attempt to reconnect the physical universe to realism and deterministic concepts. It explains the mysterious.

mmfiore, how can anything explain the mysterious? Once it has been explained, it is not mysterious any more.

Huzzah on the measurements.

As for dk: perhaps mmfiore should have written "It ATTEMPTS or SEEKS to explain the mysterious," but his intention was not that mysterious.
