Abstract
The results of the deterministic Bohr-type rotating neutrino model presented in this book, taken together with the spectacular success of the deterministic Bohr model of the H atom, seem to simply remind the old belief that the corpuscular aspects of matter are equally important with the corresponding ondular aspects. Thus the electron, or the neutrino, is viewed as a particle in the classical mechanical part of the model and as a wave via the de Broglie equation in the ondular part of the problem which is the one which introduces quantization. There are obvious difficulties when trying to use these deterministic models to more complex systems (molecules or nuclei) but the difficulty seems to reside more on the complexity of the classical mechanical problem rather than on conceptual grounds.
