About the Nature of the Quantum System—An Examination of the Random Discontinuous Motion Interpretation of the Quantum Mechanics

Sofia Wechsler

What is the quantum system? Consider the wave-function of the electron—what we call “single particle wave-function”—and assume that it contains N wave-packets. If we pass all the wave-packets through an electric field, all are deflected, as if each one of them contains an electron. However, if we bring any two wave-packets to travel close to one another, they don’t repel one another, as if at least one of them contains no charge. In trying to solve the measurement problem of the quantum mechanics (QM), different interpretations were proposed, each one coming with a particular ontology. However, only one interpretation paid explicit attention to the contradiction mentioned above. This interpretation was proposed by S. Gao who named it “random discontinuous motion” (RDM), because it assumes the existence of a particle that jumps from place to place at random. The particle carries all the physical properties of the respective type of particle, mass, charge, magnetic momentum, etc. It jumps under the control of an “instantaneous condition” about which Gao did not give details so far. Along with presenting problems of the QM that this interpretation solves, this text reveals difficulties vis-à-vis entanglements and the special relativity.

Classical Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics

Sylwester Kornowski

Here we present the physical side of the quantum mechanics (QM) that emerges from the Scale-Symmetric Theory (SST). We showed that the quantum superposition is misinterpreted. The key to understand QM is the difference between quantum coherence and quantum entanglement. We as well explained what conditions and structures lead to relativistic invariants such as electric charge and spin, and how this affects the superposition.

Superluminal relativity and physical reality

Guasp Carrascosa, Miguel

This work is a revised version (Version 2) of a previous paper by the author, presented in a manner intended to emphasize more clearly the connection between its epistemological postulates and the subsequent development of its formalism. Several modifications have been introduced, and new sections have been added. As in the first version, the study concerns the physical interpretation of the imaginary quantities that arise in the formulation of superluminal relativity (including complex coordinates, velocities, angles, charges, and masses). In this framework, the kinematics of tachyons is analyzed, and the nature of the imaginary velocities appearing therein is examined. Furthermore, it is shown that a physical interpretation of the complex quantities (masses and charges) occurring both in quantum mechanics and in superluminal relativity is indeed possible. In this context, the complex nature of the electric charge is investigated, with particular attention to its divisibility. It is demonstrated that singular fractions of the electric charge exist whose squared values coincide with the observed quark charges. Within the same conceptual framework, the physical nature of a complex mass is also explored. It is shown that the imaginary component of such a mass implies that its gravitational field intensity behaves as a wave, propagating with the velocity of the wave associated with the particle itself. It is further demonstrated that the corresponding wavelength coincides with that given by the De Broglie relation, and that the resulting wave equation—second order in both spatial and temporal coordinates—is compatible with the Klein–Gordon wave equation. This constitutes a significant indication of the physical character of the associated wave and suggests an alternative interpretation to the orthodox probabilistic view of quantum mechanics.
