Can one integrate the quantum mechanical interpretation of electromagnetism with the classical concepts of a particle and wave? We think so. One of the most troubling aspects of its interpretation at least to classical or relativistic physicists is how the role of an observer defines the system under observation. For example many of the proponents … Read more
Quantum mechanics assumes that a particle is in a superposition of several states or positions based on the mathematical properties of Schrödinger’s wave equation before an observation is made. It also assumes that when it is observed it collapses resulting the particle it represents having a single or unique position. When the Copenhagen interpretation was … 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
Niels Bohr, the founder of quantum mechanics summarized the complementary principal of quantum mechanics as follows: “However far the quantum physical phenomena transcend the scope of classical physical explanation, the account of all evidence must be expressed in classical terms. The argument is simply that by the word “experiment” we refer to a situation where … Read more
