The Case Against the Nuclear Atom is a 1963 book by Dewey B Larson, published by North Pacific Publishers.
Overview
Larson argues that the standard "nuclear" model of the atom — a dense central nucleus orbited by electrons — is mistaken, and that the experimental evidence usually taken to establish it (such as Rutherford's scattering results) can be interpreted otherwise. In place of the nuclear atom he offers the alternative atomic structure of his Reciprocal System of theory, in which the atom is understood in terms of rotational motions rather than as a nucleus-plus-electrons system.
About the author
Dewey B. Larson (1898–1990) was an American chemical engineer and independent theoretician, the originator of the Reciprocal System of theory. See also his Nothing But Motion and Beyond Newton.
