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

A classical interpretation of the complementary principal

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

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

The reality of Quantum Fields

Is it possible to define the physical “reality” of a Quantum field? We think so. Many including Albert Einstein and Erin Schrödinger, had difficulty accepting the “reality” of quantum mechanics because many of its concepts appear to contradict those of our observable universe. For example in a quantum system Schrödinger’s wave equation defines the field … Read more

Putting the Chromo in Quantum Chromodynamics

Quantum Chromodynamics, which is an integral part of the Standard Model of Particle Physics, defines how quarks interact with themselves and each other to form particles such as protons and neutrons. The word quantum stands for the fact that interactions (forces between particles) on this level can be represented as things that occur only in … Read more
