XXXV. A tentative theory of light quanta
Abstract
In the present paper it is assumed that the light is essentially made up of light quanta, all having the same extraordinarily small mass. It is shown mathematically that the Lorentz-Einstein transf...

“The concept of the wave function originated in 1924 with de Broglie [ 24 ], who-intrigued by Einstein's idea of the 'Gespensterfeld'-proposed that just as electromagnetic waves are somehow associated with particles, the photons, so should material particles, in particular electrons, be accompanied by waves. He conceived of these waves as 'pilot waves,' somehow governing the motion of the associate”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
