Abstract:
Tsiolkovsky's thoughts about the smallest luminiferous particles emitted by bodies, floating in world space, really find a rigorous justification, and not only in his works and Mendeleev's works, but also in much more detail in the works of the remarkable Swiss scientist Walter Ritz, a contemporary of Tsiolkovsky. Currently, he is better known for his mathematical discoveries (including the Ritz variational method, widely used in engineering and physical calculations), as well as the combination principle in spectroscopy. But apart from this, Ritz also created such now little-known theoretical concepts as Ritz's Ballistic Theory (BTR) and the magnetic model of the atom, which for the first time made it possible to fully calculate the spectrum of hydrogen and other atoms.
