Classical Dynamical Interpretation of the Lamb Shift in Hydrogen Atom
V2
Abstract
The Lamb shift is an approximately 1057 MHz energy level splitting between the 2S1/2 and 2P1/2 states in the n=2 level of the hydrogen atom, regarded as a core experimental evidence for quantum electrodynamics (QED). Based on the Great Tao Model and the Unified Theory of Atomic and Molecular Structure, this paper proposes that the Lamb shift may originate from the difference in spatial average electrostatic potential energy between spherical and ellipsoidal electron orbital dynamic entities. To verify this mechanism, we constructed an initial geometric model for the n=2 level of the hydrogen atom (setting the semi-major axis a=4a0 and the semi-minor axis b=2a0). Calculations show that this geometric effect is sufficient to produce energy level splittings on the order of GHz, confirming the feasibility of the mechanism. By comparing with experimental data, a nearly spherical stable ellipsoidal configuration (semi-minor axis b≈3.56a0) is determined, yielding a theoretical value (1.06 GHz) that precisely matches the experiment. This is not a simple parameter fitting, but rather a parameter determination jointly constrained by theory and experiment, successfully constructing a logically self-consistent classical physics-based "orbital geometry-precession dynamics" explanatory framework. Based on this framework, the model makes testable independent predictions: for the n=3 and n=4 excited states of hydrogen, the analogous energy level splittings will be approximately 0.20 GHz and 0.06 GHz, respectively, following a 1/n3 scaling law. This study provides the first first-principles computational example for the key concept of "electron orbital spatial configuration potential energy" in the Unified Theory of Atomic and Molecular Structure, and indicates a feasible classical path for calculating chemical bond energies and even predicting molecular spectra. This work not only provides a new physical interpretation of the Lamb shift based on classical realism, but also accomplishes a proof-of-principle validation from the explanation of a specific phenomenon to the construction of a new physical paradigm. It lays a crucial theoretical foundation for exploring a path toward understanding the microscopic world—one grounded in physical reality and logical consistency—outside the framework of quantum mechanics.Key words
