Was this predicted by theory (when?) or is this a unexpected result discovered from experimentation?

- sofasurfer 9y agoClassical radiation reaction was predicted in the early 20th century. I think that quantum theories for radiation reaction in with non-relativistic particles in weak fields has been around since the 1960s. The “hard” bit, that is currently an active research area, is the interaction of relativistic particles with very strong fields.
