Acceleration beyond the speed of light, a contradiction, and a synthesis of quantum mechanics and special relativity

Both the intuitive (classical) and counter-intuitive (quantum) phenomena/effects of light have attracted layman and educated specialists alike.Optics is one of the oldest subfields of physics and is dedicated to the study of these phenomena.Geometrical optics, also known as ray optics, deals with light phenomena like diffraction, interference, polarisation, etc., for which the ray approximation is not valid, while physical optics, also known as wave optics, deals with these phenomena and more.

Non-Interference patterns Evolving to Interference Patterns --- Violating Both Classical Optics and Quantum Optics

Hui Peng

Young’s double slit experiments revived the wave theory of light. The standard interpretation is that the light behaves as waves before and after passing through the double slit, and the superposition of waves produces the interference pattern. Feynman called the double slit experiment the only mystery in quantum mechanics. In this article, we experimentally show the novel universal phenomena: (1) the light is particles, but waves: within macro-distance from a diaphragm, the light rays produce non-interference patterns; while near the screen, the photons produce orthogonal interference patterns; (2) the non-interference patterns evolve to the orthogonal interference patterns gradually in the same experiment; (3) the evolution of the patterns cannot be interpreted by either classic optics or the quantum optics; (4) the non-interference patterns and the orthogonal interference patterns can show on the screen simultaneously; (5) The convex lens stops the further evolution. The experiments: (1) challenge the classical optics and quantum optics; (2) violate both Bohr’s complementarity principle and wave particle duality; (3) provide profound phenomena for developing optics and for studying the nature of light; (4) suggest that a complete theory should be able to consistently interpret all phenomena, including the non-interference pattern, the interference pattern, and the evolution from the non-interference to the interference pattern in the same wave experiment.
