CRITICAL REVIEW OF THE ARTICLE "FUNDAMENTALS OF THE QUANTUM THEORY OF FORMATION IN COAL SEAMS AND METHANE DEGASSING" [1]
It would be strange if the quantum theory of the structure of the world did not find its reflection in the modern understanding of geophysical processes and, in particular, an explanation of the mechanism of sudden emissions in mines. Keeping up with the times, geophysicists have recognized that without explaining the structure of the microworld by quantum theory, it is impossible to explain either a sudden outburst, or a rock bump, or an earthquake. But everything new makes its way with difficulty, not only because of scientists’ who grew up on the knowledge of classical physics thinking inertia but also because of the narrow, superficial application of quantum theory in explaining the holistic picture of geophysical phenomena. Some scientists still do not realize that all the processes of geophysics: earthquakes, emissions, rock bumps, heaving rocks, volcanic eruptions, and large-scale collapses have one mechanism, the foundation of which is the law of interaction of an electromagnetic field and an elementary charge based on both corpuscular and wave properties of the electron. It is this narrow approach that is indicated in the criticized article, and in our opinion, it leads the problem solution if not to a dead end, then at least far away from the scientific problem.
