Is the electron stationary in the ground state of the Dirac hydrogen atom in Bohm's Theory?

TL;DR

This paper demonstrates that in the relativistic Bohm model, the electron in the hydrogen atom's ground state is moving, explaining observed decay time dilation effects, unlike the stationary electron predicted by non-relativistic models.

Contribution

It shows that relativistic Bohm's theory predicts a moving electron in the ground state, contrasting with traditional stationary assumptions, and explains experimental decay time dilation.

Findings

Electron in relativistic Bohm model is moving in the ground state.

Explains the observed decay time dilation of muons in muonium.

Contrasts with non-relativistic predictions of a stationary electron.

Abstract

We show that, in the relativistic Bohm model of a Dirac-like particle, the electron in the ground state of the hydrogen atom is moving, unlike the prediction for the case of a Schr\"{o}dinger-like particle, where the electron is stationary. This accounts for the empirically observed dilation of the decay time of the muon in the ground state of muonium.
