The abuse of imagination in Physics

Most would agree that imagination is powerful tool for scientists when used correctly because it allows them to visuals worlds that are beyond their ability to observe. However their are some who wrongly believe that they can build successful theoretical models of our world based imagination or concepts that only exist in their minds. For … Read more

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

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

The geometry of a particle wave

Is it possible to define a “reality” behind the quantum world in terms of the classical laws of physics and the space-time environment defined by Einstein? In other words can one use our everyday experiences to understand the irrationality behind many of the assumptions made by quantum mechanics and integrate them into the space-time environment … Read more

The quantum fallacy

Is it fact or fallacy that the quantum mechanical probabilities of the micro cosmos are incompatible with the determinism of the macro cosmos. Most scientist would agree the best way of accomplishing this would be to determine if one can be explained in terms of the other. For example can one explain why many proponents … Read more
