To create kind of a ball of charge. So the model was knowledge in a valid charge. These churches interact with themselves using the photons and if you calculate this using direct theories, which was developed in the 1930s are late 1920s and early 1930s, behaviors ranging their which is like dividing one by zero on a calculator. You didnt answer at infinity. That cant be right because the amount of energy of an electron which if you consider to be a ball of charge cant be infinity. Many different calculations give you an answer of infinity which is very unsatisfying. Its a crazy answer. In order to address this, however radical idea and set the problem youre getting an affinity with these answers could be eliminated if you eliminate the intermediary. You eliminate having a photon or a light particle exchange between the two electrons. We all know that there is like a pair. The play would be produced by the electrons themselves through their mutual interactions, which would take place ov
