When quantum mechanics becomes less weird

Youssef El Fidali

Abstract For about a century, physicists have been debating over the behavior of particles on a microscopic scale. Although the principle of the wave-particle duality is accepted in the scientific community, many experiments with puzzling results are still challenging quantum mechanics until now, such as the double slit experiment, entanglement, interferences of a single electron, or delayed choice quantum eraser. In this article, we shall bring forth explanations for some of these experiments. Unlike standard quantum mechanics (SQM) built by Schr¨odinger1 and P.Dirac2 which considers that the wave function is an abstract mathematical tool, our model takes up the concept of the pilot wave once initiated by physicists De Broglie and D.Bohm,3 who suggested that the wave associated to a quantum object has a real existence and that it is not simply a wave of probability. We shall discuss how this old-new conception of reality renders quantum mechanics ultimately less mysterious than it seems.

The Difference Between a Theory, a Calculation and an Explanation

Jean Louis Van Belle

In this paper, we try to show where and why quantum mechanics went wrong – and why and when the job of both the academic physicist as well as the would-be student of quantum mechanics turned into calculating rather than explaining what might or might not be happening. Modern quantum physicists effectively resemble econometrists modeling input-output relations: if they are lucky, they will get some kind of mathematical description of what goes in and what goes out, but the math does not tell them how stuff actually happens. To show what an actual explanation might look like, we bring the Zitterbewegung electron model and our photon model together to provide a classical explanation of Compton scattering of photons by electrons so as to show what electron-photon interference might actually be: two electromagnetic oscillations interfering (classically) with each other. While developing the model, we also offer some reflections on the nature of the Uncertainty Principle. Finally, we also offer a brief history of the bad ideas which led to the current mess in physics.

PRINCIPLE OF YIN-YANG COMPLEMENTARITY IN AEROSPACE SCIENCES

Virgil Stanciu, Cristina PAVEL

This paper is a transdisciplinary field that combines, harmoniously, the principle of complementarity introduced by the great physicist Niels Bohr in quantum mechanics and the ancient Chinese philosophy, whose essence is "Diagram of the Supreme Ultimate". The allegations are supported by religious, quantum and geometry arguments. Defined concepts of di-mension, coordinate system and specific concepts as: perpendicular in geometry, orthogonal in mathematical analysis, correct in law and ortho in religion. It is shown, further, classification for principle of complementarity, by the two manifestations, harmonic and non-harmonic. As applications, we use the known areas of fluid mechanics, hydro and aerodynamics. Based on the concepts of source, vortex and parallel motion through dyadic and triadic combinations, arriving, finally at a scientific explanation of the philosophical concept of Yin and Yang, underlying Chinese philosophy.
