Particle QM results are improved by a classical model — •Albrecht Giese — Taxusweg 15, 22605 Hamburg

Quantum mechanics is widely accepted as the correct approach to understanding elementary particles. However, a classical model can provide improved results, including quantitative ones, where QM cannot. Take inertial mass, for example. Here, the classical model is physically more meaningful and produces accurate results, unlike the Higgs model. Another example of the limits of QM is the inadequate definition of the Planck constant, 'h', which leads to measurement deviations. In the history of QM, these deviations have been explained by the introduction of vacuum polarization. However, this is not necessary if 'h' is defined as derived from the model. This also circumvents the inherent problems of vacuum polarization/energy.
