A classical explanation of Quantum Superposition

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

Is Quantum Mechanics a Fundamental or emergent property of space-time?

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

The reality behind quantum entanglement

Quantum entanglement is defined “as a physical phenomenon that occurs when pairs or groups of particles are generated or interact in ways such that the quantum state of each particle cannot be described independently instead, a quantum state may be given for the system as a whole. For example, if a pair of particles is … Read more

Solving the conceptual problems with quantum fields

In relativistic physics a field is defined as a continuous physical quantity that has a value for each point in space and time while Relativistic Quantum Field Theory (QFT) defines particles as excited states of an underlying physical field. However there is a conceptual discontinuity between QFT and its relativistic component because it is based … Read more

Should we let our imaginations define reality?

or should we let “reality” define our imagination. Unfortunately many physicists attempt to define reality based solely on what they measure and do not attempt to conceptually integrate those measurements into the realty we see around us. One example can be found in Brian Clegg book Before the Big Bang: The Prehistory of Our Universe … Read more
