Should be read.

"Typically freshman students are introduced to classical laws that they
apply to physical problems that can be understood
intuitively and solved in closed form. As they advance to the second year,
they are introduced to a contradictory view-that the
atomic scale world is nonphysical, counterintuitive, and incapable of being
understood in physical, intuitive terms. In addition,
they are asked to take for granted many fantastical concepts such as
electrons being probability waves having an infinite number
of energies and positions simultaneously, until measured, spooky actions at
a distance, and virtual particles which occupy every
point in space but can not be detected. With the introduction of quantum
mechanics, which is not a theory of physical reality,
students are taught to abandon all that they initially learned for
laboratory scale systems and to accept that these laws do not
apply to atomic systems; even though, they learned by direct experimental
observation that these laws worked perfectly well and
that laboratory scale objects are made up of atoms.
Many paradoxes and internal inconsistencies arise in quantum mechanics such
as the requirement that two or more
contradictory results exist simultaneously, the existence of infinities, non
locality, and violation of causality, to mention a few.
Unlike the solutions learned in the freshman year, none of the solutions are
unique-algorithms to remove infinities and to add
fantastical corrections are totally discretionary [1 14]. One exception is
the one electron atom, but the Schrödinger equation is
not a directly experimentally testable relationship. Rather, it is
postulated. The solutions make no physical sense. Electron spin
is missed completely. And, in many cases, the solutions contradict
experimental observations [1 14].
To add to this confusion, Newton's Laws of mechanics are presented as
invalid. With the assumption of Galilean
transformations, they fail to remain invariant at high speed. Special
relativity is introduced as an independent mechanics theory
based on the constant maximum of the speed of light, which was demonstrated
by the Michelson Morley experiment. But, this
experiment addressed light propagation and not mechanics, except for
disproving the ether and a universal reference frame in the
sense of the speed of light. Maxwell's equations, which govern light
propagation, remain since they are consistent with special
relativity and predict c based on universal properties of spacetime. No
connection to mass or mechanics is given despite the
result of the equivalence of mass and electromagnetic energy from special
relativity. There is no connection to particle masses
and atomic theory. And, the infinite sea of virtual particles of atomic
theory is paradoxically an ether which was abandoned with
special relativity.
Furthermore, it is taught that the validity of Maxwell's equations is
restricted only to the macro scale and that they do not
apply to the atomic scale. This is inconsistent with the application of
special relativity to the mechanics of atomic particles at
high speed and the radiation of accelerating atomic particles wherein,
paradoxically, Maxwell's equations give the
electromagnetic wave equation that governs the emitted radiation. Yet, when
the particle motion is thought of as a current,
Maxwell's equations predict the radiation of atomic particles as well. Then,
contradictory, postulated quantum mechanical rules
apply to the radiation or stability of electrons in atoms, which should be
treated electrodynamically. Neither a special relativistic
or Maxwellian approach to the radiation is deemed to apply even though the
Maxwellian Coulomb potential and special
relativistic corrections to the electron mass are invoked. Even more
disconcerting is that supposedly special relativity is the basis
of electron spin in the Dirac equation. But, the solution requires an
infinite sea of virtual particles that is equivalent to the ether.
This constitutes a glaring internal inconsistency because the absence of
both an ether and an absolute frame is the basis of special
relativity in the first place. In addition, considering the simplest atom,
hydrogen, no physical mechanism for the existence of
discrete radiative energy levels or the stability of the n ? 1 state
exists-only circular reasoning between the empirical data and a
postulated wave equation with an infinite number of solutions that was
parameterized to match the Rydberg lines [1 14]... " There is MUCH more.

Perhaps this is where Little SHOULD have gone.
