Still More (Non)Glimpses: The Droplet Is Sometimes Invisible

Theo van Holten

Published Dec 9, 2016• 1 citation
Publisher

Abstract

The mysterious zero-points of the Position Probability Density diagrams of quantum mechanics are considered from the point of view of the droplet theory. A simple interpretation is found. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.

Summing Up the Successes and the Remaining Mysteries

Theo van Holten

This chapter sums up the visualisations of quantum phenomena, made possible by the “droplet theory”. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.

Alleys to Be Further Investigated and Open Questions

Gerard ’t Hooft

A number of fundamental questions of theoretical physics are directly related to the question of interpreting quantum mechanics. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.

Schrödinger’s Equation

Theo van Holten

A heuristic derivation of Schroedinger's equation is given, which makes it plausible that the beat patterns of the droplet theory satisfy this equation. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.

Deterministic Quantum Mechanics

Gerard ’t Hooft

An outline is given of the interpretation of quantum mechanical expressions if one assumes that what is called Quantum Mechanics today, refers to an underlying reality as in Chap. 2 , even if many authors claim to have evidence to the contrary, as is usually brought forward. If there exists a sub-microscopic classical world of real things, is that the same classical world as the world of large things such as planets, rocks and people? How does the notion of probability enter into quantum mechanics? These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.

From Rigid Marble to Vibrating Droplet of Charge: Model Assumptions

Theo van Holten

The two preceding chapters (Chaps. 2 and 3 ) were about “normal” quantum mechanics. From this point on we change the subject, and turn to the mental pictures proposed in this book about quantum behaviour. It is shown how the droplet of charge has been modelled. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.

Conclusions

Gerard ’t Hooft

The conclusion of Part I, the non-technical (or somewhat less technical) part of this book, is that a completely convincing model of our universe is lacking. This should be a model that shows how quantum mechanical behaviour, with all its mysteries and paradoxes, can emerge from a local, deterministic theory. Yet we also find that one can assume its existence to arrive at a picture of our quantum mechanical universe that makes perfect sense. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
