Giovanni/Daniel: I just want to thank you both for taking time to analyze carefully the W-L paper.
We could use more theoretical types in the 'Collective'. -Mark From: Giovanni Santostasi [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, January 31, 2012 5:06 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Vo]:W&L Ok, Daniel you are right. The order of magnitude of a field at the Bohr radius from a proton is 10^11 V/m. It seems also that the interpretation of the paper describes this situation where the electron sphere is the size of an average atom. I misunderstood what the paper was discussing. Gigi, did you use cgs units to do your calculation? Otherwise if you want to use mks you have to add the coulomb constant to the Coulomb equation in the Srivastava paper. I think this where you error was. Giovanni
