The X-ray tube reveals the mystery of the electron and photon

Dear Anton! About hypotheses about the microworld: modern physical theory is very powerful mathematical apparatus, which allows you to check on a huge number of different experiments. So far, everything is in order with the qualitative and quantitative agreement of experiments with theory (quantum theory). Devices (lasers, computers, etc.) are working. Their various parameters can be calculated very accurately. There are no competitive theories yet, but many have a desire to propose their own version. So far, I have not found anything like this either in English or on the Russian Internet. The most serious idea is Lord Kelvin's idea of turbulent aether.… If you were a physicist, then I could show mathematically why this hypothesis can be a serious competitor. (Konstantin Mazuruk, Ph. D., retired, worked at NASA for the last 30 years, experimenter and theorist).

I thank Konstantin Mazuruk for this letter and want to answer it publicly.

Note that I am a supporter of the idea of Lord Kelvin, who came up with the most original model in 1889 world environment, in which light and all other radiations propagate - "turbulent ether".

As for the statement: "modern physical theory is a very powerful mathematical apparatus …", I also agree. However, this "very powerful mathematical apparatus" for the overwhelming majority of people is "Aesopian language", and the emphasis on it in science is primarily in order to hide the very essence of phenomena and all the most important secrets of nature from all those who is not supposed to know them!

I'll give you a very clear example. But before that, I consider it my duty to note that the most unique technical devicethat could have revealed to humanity long ago the secret of the electron, its physical essence, is x-ray tube, designed to receive radiation in a very short-wave frequency range - X-ray.

This tube is unique in that electrons create several types of broad spectrum radiation in it at once:

1. Filament (cathode), when heated by an electric current, creates the necessary for the operation of an X-ray tube free electron cloud, and at the same time the same filament, when heated, creates infrared and visible optical radiation, which appear in an ordinary incandescent lamp.

2. When applying for anode relatively cathode high voltage of tens of thousands of volts, in the space between the cathode and the anode is created strong electric fieldmaking electrons move towards the anode and accelerate to great speed. At the same time, moving towards the anode with acceleration, electrons create radio emission a wide range.

3. The same accelerated to high speeds by a strong electric field electrons literally dig into anode surface like bullets fired from a machine gun. At the same time, at the moment of their "flattening" on the surface of the anode (on the nucleus of atoms of the substance), this is officially called deceleration of electrons, in all directions (radially) scatter "quantum splashes"representing x-ray, the quanta of which have especially strong energy, due to which x-ray light and can show through even metals.

All these different types of radiation produce the same electrons inside the X-ray tube!

The question is, what are electrons? How they change own energy when accelerating and when braking? As a matter of fact electrons form radiation quanta in the sections of acceleration and in the sections of deceleration?

This is probably the simplest question: an electron is an elementary particle of matter, and fundamental particle, which is characterized by: an elementary (indivisible) electric charge and a mass equal to 9, 10938356 (11) x10 to minus 31 degrees of a kilogram. When an electron accelerates under the action of an electric field, its own energy should, in theory, be calculated according to the well-known formula kinetic energy:

However, see how he tries to explain nature self-energy of an electron modern physical theory with its powerful mathematical apparatus: (I apologize in advance to the reader for these 7 pages from the physics textbook by R. Feynman, written in a high-tech manner, but about nothing):

What's this?

This is the answer to the question, how is it determined self-energy of an electron, for example, when it is accelerated in an electric field ?!

It would seem elementary! An electron, being an elementary and indivisible particle, is accelerated in an electric field and its kinetic energy grows in proportion to the square of its speed. Moreover, as experiments show, only the moving with acceleration electron becomes radiation source, that is, it literally creates waves, and with them and energy quantathat spread in space with the speed of light!

How does this happen in our case?

How does an elementary electron, moving with acceleration, give rise to elementary quanta of light (or quanta of radio waves or quanta of X-ray radiation)?

If we compare the electron not with an abstract ball of radius "r", but with a flying bullet, then you can come up with an interesting analogy.

A bullet flying through the air generates an elastic wave (sound).

A similar picture arises when electron moves in a straight line and with acceleration. He spawns around him what we call radiationthat spreads in space radially, in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion of the electron. That is, radiation has polarization.

This experience shows that the electrostatic current generates a short radio wave without the formation of a vortex magnetic field in space !!!

And the same thing happens when electrons accelerated to a high speed are fired into the anode of the X-ray tube. And again a direct analogy with a bullet hitting an obstacle: the picture on the glass is a visual x-ray imagearising on the surface of the X-ray tube anode.

These ones radiant stress in the glass give us a great idea of how they are actually born "bremsstrahlung" X-ray range, and in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion of the electron.

These radiant stress in the glass pierced by a bullet, they explain to us how, with a similar deceleration of an electron he manages to inform photons (not one, but many at once) giant kinetic energy.

The above analogies from the world of mechanics, when transferred to electrical engineering, make it possible to understand why an electron emits radio waves, light or X-rays only when accelerating or decelerating. Moreover, I repeat, the radiation occurs in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion of the electron.

Obviously, this is because the electron is inherently, moving with acceleration or deceleration in a medium that cannot be called emptiness, to create it, and in a plane perpendicular to the direction of its motion, a pressure gradient with a positive or negative sign, the value of which is proportional to the magnitude of its acceleration or braking

At the same time, of course, there can be no question of any "universal void" or "physical vacuum"! The concept of a "physical vacuum" is at best a delusion, at worst - a sabotage committed in science!

P. S

They managed to write to me that according to the ideas quantum mechanics and all the mathematical formulas derived for it, electron when going to another energy level generates just one photon, not a bunch of photons, as I said in this article.

So if quantum mechanics so declares, then I must, in turn, declare that a certain speculative photongenerated by electronentering at high speed into the body of the anode of the X-ray tube, has the shape of a spherical wavediverging at the speed of light from the center of the electron hitting the anode body.

No matter how puffed up anyone is to object now to something against my arguments, the very design of this X-ray tube is such that it is designed to create such spherical waves on the working surface of the anode! Of course, I used the image of a spherical wave appearing on the surface of the water solely for clarity. X-ray radiation should be thought of as longitudinal spherical waves arising in an elastic ether medium in a plane perpendicular to the trajectory of the electron that generated this radiation.
