A 10-Dimensional and 11-Dimensional Hidden Variables Duality Model of a ‘D-brane and Type I String Structure’

Gary Heen

In this paper a 'hidden variables' interpretation of the quantum world is presented. A hidden variables explanation assumes current quantum mechanical theories are imperfect in that they do not incorporate a physical reality to the quantum world. At the Solvay conference of 1927, Louis De Broglie presented a hypothesis which was to be the forerunner to hidden variables theory: at the quantum level, a 'matter wave' steered particles. Under the powerful influence of Neils Bohr, Louis De Broglie's matter wave was disregarded in favor of the 'Copenhagen Interpretation' championed by Bohr himself, and the Copenhagen interpretation became the de facto accepted theory of quantum mechanics. In 1932, John Von Neumann presented a supposed that no hidden variables theory could properly describe the quantum world. He was first shown to be wrong by Grete Hermann, but she was largely ignored do to Neumann's immense stature as a mathematician. Later in 1966, John Bell further established that the proof was flawed, and the hidden variables interpretation has since seen a renewal of interest amongst researchers. The model presented in this paper incorporates d-branes and Type I strings into a hidden variables quantum structure; this physical structure can be interpreted as both 10-dimensional and 11- dimensional, and is designated: the D-string.In this paper a 'hidden variables' interpretation of the quantum world is presented.

The Copenhagen Interpretation

Jonathan Allday

With this sort of confusion among his close colleagues, it’s surprising that Bohr had the range of in uence that he did. Perhaps this was due to his personal magnetism and conviction. As Pauli pointed out: “Bohr himself integrated, in lectures at international congresses and at those carefully planned conferences in Copenhagen, the diverse scienti c standpoints and epistemological attitudes of the physicists, and thereby imparted to all participants in these conferences, the feeling of belonging, in spite of all their dissensions to one large family.”1With this sort of confusion among his close colleagues, it’s surprising that Bohr had the range of in uence that he did.
