Hi Harry and Robin, It's an experimental measurement all right, to one ppT all right. They sequester a single electron for months on a large (0.1µm) circular orbit and count photons as I understand, do have a look at the short CERN paper (only the abstract in the beginning is in French, the rest i

Robin, I may be wrong but all this sounds complicated and ad hoc, compared to the standard quantum electrodynamics theory, which, although it often goes against common sense (e.g. the "preposterous" things I mentioned), does predict things nicely from a tiny set of rules. For example, to go back

A very good question Robin, I too would very much like to know the answer! The resource below doesn't really provide one, but it does quantify the (preposterously high, in their opinion) spin rate which would be required if the intrinsic magnetic moment was due to an actual spinning little sphere

Hi, The magnitude of the Bohr magneton is essentially based upon a Bohr orbit. How is that the intrinsic spin magnetic moment of a point particle electron is so very close to one Bohr magneton? Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/Project.html
