Here you say "The bound electron is in magnetic resonance with the nucleus" >The Hydrogen ionization energy can be calculated without Coulomb and charge >radius by a simple magnetic resonance formula.

Here you say "there is no particle like electron just the resonant waves" ...so does the electron exist or doesn't it?
