The Lorentz-Dirac and Dirac Equations

Abstract

It is well known that the Classical theory of the electron reached the limits of its description at time intervals of the order of 1023secs10^{-23} secs, that is the Compton time. It is widely believed that below these time intervals Classical Electrodynamics doesn't work and that a Quantum description is required. Using the Lorentz Dirac and the Dirac equations of the electron, we point out that in fact there is a convergence of the two descriptions at the Compton scale.
