Einstein questions the existence of a quantum singularity

 A Quantum Singularity is a misnomer because it owes it existence to classical one created by a black hole not to its quantum mechanical properties.  Even so many physicists assume it is the key to unifying Quantum mechanics with Einstein’s General and Special Theories of Relativity because they believe the gravitational collapse of matter in … Read more

Planck’s Constant as a function of space-time

In the late 1800’s, physics was facing a crisis. Physicists were trying to model the energy of an atomic orbital.  All the physics they knew at that point said it should look a certain way, but reality looked completely different and no one knew why.  The solution was found by Max Planck.  Previously physicists had … Read more

Einstein on the collapse of the wave function.

In quantum mechanics, wave function collapse is said to occur when a wave function, initially in a superposition of several states appears to reduce to one due to interaction with the external world.  This interaction is called an observation. The measurement problem in quantum mechanics involves understanding how (or whether) wave function collapse occurs. The … Read more

What is a photon?

Both Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity and Quantum Mechanics tell us a photon is massless particle that moves through space. However, they tell us nothing about how a particle can be mass less, how they interact with other particles and how the photon a particle with no mass as defined in Quantum Electrodynamics or QED … Read more

Quantum entanglement as property of Relativity.

Quantum entanglement is the name given to quantum mechanical assumption that all particles remain connected so that actions performed on one affect the other, even when separated by great distances. The rules of quantum physics state that an unobserved photon exists in all possible states simultaneously but, when observed or measured, exhibits only one state. … Read more
