The discontinuity of light energy is not unique to light waves, and the energy of sound waves and water waves is also discontinuous. ![]() The latest research shows that the energy of all different types of waves is not continuous. What is the origin of wave-particle duality in quantum mechanics? This is an unsolved mystery in modern physics. This approach is sometimes called the Reconstruction of Quantum Physics. The intent of the new approach is to remove this mysticism from quantum physics and return physics to scientific realism. Of course, every dilettante in physics knows of Erwin Schrodinger's famous cat-box thought experiment in which he attempts to reduce to absurdity the mysticism of the Copenhagen Interpretation and the role of consciousness in determining the fate of the poor cat. The initiate to quantum physics is told that quantum theory is counterintuitive and cannot be understood with common sense or rationality. Particle physicist, Fritjof Capra, and others have made us aware that the founders of quantum physics were largely influenced by Eastern mysticism, and we see much of that influence injected into the theory such as the role of consciousness in determining the outcome of an experiment, contradictions existing in the same theory, particles being in multiple states at the same time, the observer and observed being inseparable, and there being no mind-independent, objective reality. How can there be such a clash between quantum and classical physics that these subfields of physics tell us opposite things? Do these characters (Hup and Klass) live in the same universe, or do they live in parallel universes where the laws of physics are different? A New approach to quantum physics is emerging whose advocates are trying to revise quantum physics and make it more classical and understandable to the rational mind. As you probably figured out, HUP stands for the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle and Klass stands for the classical approach to understanding physics. If you don't know the particle's location, then you can't know its speed or momentum. Klass: You cannot know the momentum or speed of an object UNLESS you know its location in at least two points in time and space. If you are 100% certain about one, you would know zero about the other. The more you know about one, the less you know about the other. Hup: You cannot know the exact position and momentum of a particle at the same time. ![]() ![]() Imaginary Conversation between fictional physicists Dr.
