Binding Energy of Classical Electron now online

Just learned by searching under my name and the word "physics" that my master's thesis is available for viewing online now (downloading as PDF). That's good news for modern man! It has a few problems, conceptual and otherwise, and is mainly historical, like the current Boltzmann-Planck-Einstein wave-versus-particle blog posts of mine, but I'm still working on some of the ideas in it. Send me an email with your comments if you have any (see my profile).


26 Oct 2025: After finding my thesis online, I was going to contact Victor Michalk, my thesis advisor. It's been about 20 years since I exchanged emails with him. I looked for his email address on the Texas State University physics department website, but didn't find it. When I did a general search, I found his obituary from last year at about this time. Thanks for your good teaching from the pretty bad, but commonly used, Herbert Goldstein graduate text in mechanics, Professor Michalk! And for your guidance on my thesis.
