Schrodinger's wave model of the atom is described and how he chose to interpret it by looking for analogies in light and fluid mechanics. His realism was rejected and one of the main criticisms was that the wave model could not provide the permanence and stability required of the atom. This criticism is dealt with in the fifth podcast in this second series, on 'The Space Theory of Matter and the Vortex Atom'. On the website there is a more detailed essay, a note on Dirac and the QFT, a booklist and  papers by C.G. Darwin 'The Electron as a Vector Wave' and Maxwell's 'Analogies in Nature'. Support the showwww.quantumid.science
