Quantum Quasi-Paradoxes and Quantum Sorites Paradoxes

Florentín Smarandache

Published Jan 1, 2005• 5 citations
OpenAlex

Abstract

There can be generated many paradoxes or quasi-paradoxes that may occur from the combination of quantum and non-quantum worlds in physics. Even the passage from the micro-cosmos to the macro-cosmos, and reciprocally, can generate unsolved questions or counter-intuitive ideas. We define a quasi-paradox as a statement which has a prima facie self-contradictory support or an explicit contradiction, but which is not completely proven as a paradox. We present herein four elementary quantum quasi-paradoxes and their corresponding quantum Sorites paradoxes, which form a class of quantum quasi-paradoxes.

Quantum logic: what it can and can't do

Peter Gibbins

What do we expect of a quantum logical interpretation of quantum mechanics worthy of the name? In what sense should it resolve the paradoxes? What scope should it have? Should quantum logic, if it is successful in the micro world, replace classical logic in the macro world and in mathematics? We distinguish between two kinds of quantum logical interpretations of quantum mechanics. An example of the first kind, the activist kind, will do much more than simply rewrite the assertions that quantum mechanics makes about the quantum world in an unfamiliar notation - in the elementary language of quantum mechanics. It will offer a solution to the major puzzles of quantum mechanics. It will show that the paradoxes of quantum mechanics can be resolved if we do away with classical logic and replace it with quantum logic, at least in our descriptions of quantum phenomena. It may defend a form of quantum-mechanical realism, a sort of quantum logical particle view of quantum systems, protecting it from the paradoxes that classical logic would impose on it. The second kind of quantum logical interpretation, the passive or quietist kind, is less ambitious. A quietist interpretation offers a solution to the paradoxes only in the following sense. It will assert that quantum mechanics, when it describes quantum phenomena in the elementary language, need not generate paradox, that the so-called paradoxes are not even formulable in quantum logic.

Remark on Recent Experimental Findings supporting Smarandache’s Quantum Sorites Paradoxes, Superluminal Hypothesis, and SubQuantum Kinetic Model of Electron

Victor .., Robert N. Boyd

Statement of the Problem: Smarandache Hypothesis states that there is no speed limit of anything, including light and particles. While the idea is quite simple and based on known hypothesis of quantum mechanics, called Einstein-Podolski-Rosen (EPR) paradox, in reality such a superluminal physics seems still hard to accept by majority of physicists. Here we review some experiments to support superluminal physics and also findings to explain Smarandache Quantum Paradoxes and Quantum Sorites Paradox. We also touch briefly on new experiment on magneton, supporting SubQuantum Kinetic Model of Electron. Aim of this paper: We discuss some experimental results which will likely open new directions of research toward evidence-based physics.Conclusion Significance: Multiexperimental findings assessment allows one to verify conjectures by Florentin Smarandache RNB, namely: Smarandache Hypothesis, Smarandache Quantum Sorites Paradoxes and SubQuantum Kinetic Model of Electron.

Coins and counterfactuals

Robert B. Griffiths

Quantum paradoxes The next few chapters are devoted to resolving a number of quantum paradoxes in the sense of giving a reasonable explanation of a seemingly paradoxical result in terms of the principles of quantum theory discussed earlier in this book. None of these paradoxes indicates a defect in quantum theory. Instead, when they have been properly understood, they show us that the quantum world is rather different from the world of our everyday experience and of classical physics, in a way somewhat analogous to that in which relativity theory has shown us that the laws appropriate for describing the behavior of objects moving at high speed differ in significant ways from those of pre-relativistic physics. An inadequate theory of quantum measurements is at the root of several quantum paradoxes. In particular, the notion that wave function collapse is a physical effect produced by a measurement, rather than a method of calculation, see Sec. 18.2, has given rise to a certain amount of confusion. Smuggling rules for classical reasoning into the quantum domain where they do not belong and where they give rise to logical inconsistencies is another common source of confusion. In particular, many paradoxes involve mixing the results from incompatible quantum frameworks. Certain quantum paradoxes have given rise to the idea that the quantum world is permeated by mysterious influences that propagate faster than the speed of light, in conflict with the theory of relativity. They are mysterious in that they cannot be used to transmit signals, which means that they are, at least in any direct sense, experimentally unobservable.

Quantum paradoxical knowledge

Benjamin W. Schumacher, Michael D. Westmoreland

We generalize the quantum "pigeonhole paradox" to quantum paradoxes involving arbitrary types of particle relations, including orderings, functions and graphs.

Remark on Recent Experimental Findings Supporting SmarandacheâÂÂs Hypothesis and Quantum Sorites Paradoxes and Sub Quantum Kinetic Model of Electron

Victor Christianto, Robert N. Boyd, Florentin Smar +1 more

Smarandache Hypothesis states that there’s no regulation of something, together with lightweight and particles. While the idea is quite simple and based on a known hypothesis of quantum mechanics, called Einstein-Podolski-Rosen (EPR) paradox, in reality such a superluminal physics seems still hard to accept by the majority of physicists.Here we have a tendency to review some experiments to support superluminal physics and additionally findings to elucidate Smarandache Quantum contradictions and Quantum Sorites Paradox. We also touch briefly on a new experiment on magneton, supporting the SubQuantum Kinetic Model of Electron, and as well as discussing its implications on virus modelling and RNA/DNA.
