Are these papers on Quantum Electrodynamics true?

In summary, the conversation discusses the credibility of the journal "Progress in Physics" and whether its critics are valid. The journal is suspected to be a predatory publisher due to its deceptive title and lack of impact factor. The source provided for the conversation, Vixra, is deemed unreliable and against the forum rules.

Are these critics valid?
Probably not. Progress in Physics is most likely a predatory publisher. Very often predatory publishers choose journal names that are similar to respected journals.

In this case “Progress in Physics” is trying to masquerade as “Reports on Progress in Physics” which is a well-known journal that is indexed and has a decent impact factor.

“Progress in Physics”, in contrast, does not even show up on the Clarivate master journal list and has not even been given an impact factor. The low response and deceptive title are indicative of predatory publishers.

The forum rules explicitly disallow Vixra as a source. It’s that unreliable (or more precisely, reliably bad).

FAQ: Are these papers on Quantum Electrodynamics true?

What is Quantum Electrodynamics (QED)?

Quantum Electrodynamics is a theory that describes the interactions between particles of matter and light. It is a branch of quantum physics that combines the principles of quantum mechanics and electromagnetism.

How does QED explain the behavior of particles at the subatomic level?

QED explains the behavior of particles at the subatomic level by using the concept of quantum fields. These fields are constantly fluctuating and particles interact with them, exchanging energy and momentum. QED also takes into account the principles of uncertainty and probability, which are essential for understanding the behavior of particles at this level.

Are the papers on QED considered to be true?

The papers on QED are widely accepted by the scientific community and have been extensively tested and verified through experiments. However, as with any scientific theory, there is always room for further exploration and refinement.

What evidence supports the validity of QED?

There is a wealth of evidence that supports the validity of QED. This includes the successful prediction of the magnetic moment of the electron, the Lamb shift, and the anomalous magnetic dipole moment of the electron. Additionally, experiments such as the double-slit experiment and the Casimir effect have also provided evidence for the principles of QED.

How is QED relevant to everyday life?

While QED may seem abstract and theoretical, it has practical applications in various fields such as electronics, telecommunications, and computing. It also plays a crucial role in understanding the fundamental forces of nature and the behavior of matter at the smallest scales, which can lead to advancements in technology and medicine.
