Is the quantization of energy/mass a fundamental or an emergent characteristic of reality. Quantum mechanics assumes that it is fundamental because it defines all interactions within it in terms of its quantized properties while one could say that Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity defines it in terms of an emergent property of continuous space-time manifold … Read more
Presently there is disconnect between our understanding of the probabilistic world of quantum mechanics and the classical one of causality because it can predict with precision the future position of an object while the other cannot. However this may just be an illusion resulting from a lack of understanding of the quantum environment. One of … Read more
Both Einstein’s Special and General Theories of Relativity have a perfect record of predicting and explaining what we observe in our environment. However, the same cannot be said for Bohr’s concepts regarding the quantum properties of energy/mass. For example, the fact that vacuum energy exists has been confirmed by both the observation of Dark Energy, … Read more
Something that is infinite or the quality of having no limits or end cannot exist or be a part of the physically observable environment we live in primarily because it is finite. Some might disagree by pointing out that we cannot know the full extent of our universe because the speed of light puts limits … Read more
The vacuum catastrophe is name given to the disagreement of over 100 orders of magnitude between measured values of the vacuum energy density and the theoretical zero-point energy predicted by Quantum Field Theory. This discrepancy has been described as “the worst theoretical prediction in the history of physics.” The effects of vacuum energy can be … Read more
