The g Factor of the Electron in ECE2

My book with Crowell on B(3) and QED (published 2001) “Quantum and Classical Electrodynamics and the B(3) Field” comes up as the fourth site on the first page of google using keywords “Quantum Electrodynamics criticisms”, out of 589,000 results. It is open source in the Omnia Opera on www.aias.us. Gradually I rejected QED, for example UFT85 with Horst Eckardt, written in 2007. I am now ready to apply ECE2 to the anomalous g factor of the electron as affected by the W potential of the vacuum (Aharonov Bohm geometry). The claims of QED to suspiciously amazing precision are refuted in UFT85. The general public does not realize that Dirac rejected QED in his 1978 book “Directions in Physics” on the grounds that QED arbitrarily and incorrectly gets rid of infinities. It was rejected by Feynman himself in 1985 in his book “The Strange Theory of Light and Matter” and described as dippy hocus pocus. That does not inspire overwhelming confidence. The dogmatists behave as if Feynman did not write this, and if Dirac did not exist when it comes to QED. Dirac is idolized on other contexts, but recently he is falling apart under ECE2 scrutiny. In a 1970 Symposium in Texas, Dirac met Feynman and told the latter that QED is an ugly theory. Feynman agreed with Dirac. So why bother with QED? I find it worse than ugly, I find it deceptive because there are hidden arbitrary things such as dimensional regularization and normalization, and there are series containing thousands of terms which cannot be proven to converge, even in the simplest case of a photon interacting with an electron. There are virtual particles that can never be observed. In UFT85, the claimed precision was taken to the cleaners, this is another well known classic paper by now. Now I think it is time to embark on a completely new and much simpler theory of the anomalous g factor of the electron. So this will be the subject of the next note. Quantum chromodynamics is even more of a mess, obscure, full of unobservables and infinities – ‘t Hooft’s paradise. Miles Mathis describes both theories as the glorification of heuristics, in other words a load of old cobblers. Planck called Heisenberg’s matrix mechanics “disgusting”. I would not go so far as that, because matrix mechanics is now the basis of computational quantum mechanics, but point out that the Heisenberg uncertainty principle was shredded in UFT175 with Horst Eckardt, another well known classic by now. It has been shredded many terms by the experiments of the Croca group in the University of Lisbon and by other experiments. The dogmatists try to ignore the refutations, so should be ignored by the general public. The latter is by no means stupid. So physicists do not agree on everything, there is an ever so slight disagreement of opinion on some subjects.
