Accelerating electrons

No.14238962 ViewReplyOriginalReport
One of the main reasons for the development of quantum mechanics was the fact that classical electrodynamics predicted that electrons orbiting around atoms would quickly radiate away all of their energy and spiral into the atom.

Well, it occurs to me that this should be a very easy experiment to test: Take an electron in a vacuum, eg an electron from an evacuated cathode ray tube, apply a magnetic field parallel to the tube so that the electrons start spiraling, and measure the resulting radiation. It should be an easy test of Larmor's formula.

Here's where things get weird. I can't find a single paper describing an experiment like this, even though cathode ray tubes have been around for at least a century, so presumably this should have been done a long time ago.

When I start digging into how the radiation of an accelerated charge is calculated at an arbitrary point, physicists start saying schizo shit like "oh this can't really be calculated except for very particular cases"... the fuck? Has this radiation ever actually been observed? Can someone point me to an experiment that measures the charge from an accelerating electron? Not a formula, an experiment with measurements.

Google is giving me extremely schizo results that don't seem to make any fucking sense, and my suspicion is aroused. It's a simple question. Do accelerating electrons radiate? Let's get to the bottom of this.

University References

I fell for the community college meme but dicked around and didn't do half the assignments in one or two classes.

Now I have a GPA of 3.5 and no references because the only people I worked for in the last few years dies of heart attacks inexplicably and I did all my classes online.

Pretty much all colleges I'm looking to transfer to require references and I'm not sure what to do. Whats the next step?

It is not possible for a true circle to exist without the circumference-to-diameter ratio being equal to pi. And it is not possible for an imperfect circle to exist without the circumference-to-diameter ratio being an approximation of pi relatively-equivalent to how imperfect the circle is.

Therefore, there must be some arbiter of sorts for the universe that determines what is true versus false all the time. The culmination of all the natural laws of reality form this arbiter.

The question is, does not the arbiter display sentience because it has the ability to say "no" and "yes?" And doesn't it also have the ability to perceive and conceive of ideas and concepts? Different from a living being in some sense but also similar in another sense.

We are made in the image of the arbiter because we are like it's mirror, we evolved naturally towards the direction of being able to think like the arbiter, which is how we are able to understand the axioms that it arbitrates.

Surely, 2+2=4 cannot be a perfect axiom, it is only an axiom in our own universe, because very easily I can conceive of a universe where this axiom is different. I cannot grasp such a concept in my head because it's not possible in our world, but I can imagine such a concept, and therefore it can be true in another world beyond our world's rules.

They have to be the biggest midwits in all of science yet somehow make normies believe they are smart.

Is there really trauma or long-term psychological effects caused by circumcision? Lots of people say that on here but can't tell if they're being serious or not.
