In 1933 Fritz Zwicky a Swiss astronomer, was trying to measure the mass of a galactic cluster using two different methods. First he tried to infer it from the rational speed of the galaxies around the center of the clusters. Just like kids on a merry-go-round have to hold on to avoid being ejected, galaxies … Read more
Quantum mechanics defines a particle only in terms of the probabilistic values associated with Schrödinger wave equation and assumes that it exists or is superpositioned in all possible places before a measurement is made. In other words in a quantum system Schrödinger wave equation plays the role of Newtonian laws in that it predicts the … Read more
There can be no doubt the probabilistic interpretation of Schrödinger’s wave equation predicts with amazing precision the results of every experiment involving the quantum world that has ever been devised to test it. However this interpretation is at odds with the reality of the classical or deterministic world most of us appear to live in … Read more
Is it possible to define the “reality†behind the quantum world of probabilities in terms of the physical concepts of causality in the space-time environment defined by Einstein? Quantum theory defines the existence of particles in terms of a mathematically generated probability function created by Schrödinger’s wave equation and assumes that particles do not exist … Read more
Can we influence reality? Some misguided scientists think we can. For example the Copenhagen model of Quantum Mechanics suggests the act observing an environment defines its reality as is shown by its interpretation of Thomson’s double-slit experiments because it holds that the myriad of probabilities it defines are unreal and only become real when their … Read more
