Abstract

The Quantum mechanics is actually part of Classical mechanics, because the law of conservation of energy is generally valid and - because quanta are everywhere.

Quanta transfer in space is conserved

Sydney Ernest Grimm

Physical phenomena emerge from the quantum fields everywhere in space. However, not only the phenomena emerge from the quantum fields, the law of the conservation of energy must have its origin from the same spatial structure. This paper describes the relations between the main law of physics and the mathematical structure of the “aggregated” quantum fields.

Conservation laws

Harry Paul

As in classical physics, also in quantum mechanics: physical processes are bound to obey conservation laws. However, there is an important difference. While in classical physics we can suppose that all variables have definite values (irrespective of whether we know them or not), quantum mechanics allows them to be intrinsically uncertain. In those cases conservation laws apply only to ensemble averages (expectation values), and hence are less informative. They show their full strength in measurement processes. Then the measured values satisfy the respective conservation laws in any individual experiment. Let me remind you of spin measurements on a system of two spin-½ particles, being in a state with zero total spin, which we used in Section 5.5 to illustrate the EPR paradox. The spin components, with respect to an arbitrarily chosen direction, of the two particles are indefinite; however, measuring them yields definite values (+½ or −½) that add up to zero, thus confirming the angular conservation law. In the following, we will consider some realistic experiments for which conservation laws provide a simple explanation. Energy and momentum conservation For an understanding of the interaction between matter and radiation, Einstein's photon concept (actually, he spoke of ‘light quanta’) proved to be very helpful. He assumed photons to be particle-like constituents of electromagnetic radiation, in particular light. They have the energy h ν, where ν is the frequency of the radiation field. (Since the electromagnetic spectrum extends over an extremely wide range, there is a huge number of different sorts of photons.) The crucial point is that photons are generated or annihilated only as a whole. This property gives rise to typical quantum effects.

Cyclic Mechanics: the Principle of Cyclicity

Vasil Dinev Penchev

Cyclic mechanic is intended as a suitable generalization both of quantum mechanics and general relativity apt to unify them. It is founded on a few principles, which can be enumerated approximately as follows:1. Actual infinity or the universe can be considered as a physical and experimentally verifiable entity. It allows of mechanical motion to exist.2. A new law of conservation has to be involved to generalize and comprise the separate laws of conservation of classical and relativistic mechanics, and especially that of conservation of energy: This is the conservation of action or information.3. Time is not a uniformly flowing time in general. It can have some speed, acceleration, more than one dimension, to be discrete.4. The following principle of cyclicity: The universe returns in any point of it. The return can be only kinematic, i.e. per a unit of energy (or mass), and thermodynamic, i.e. considering the universe as a thermodynamic whole.5. The kinematic return, which is per a unit of energy (or mass), is the counterpart of conservation of energy, which can be interpreted as the particular case of conservation of action “per a unit of time”. The kinematic return per a unit of energy (or mass) can be interpreted in turn as another particular law of conservation in the framework of conservation of action (or information), namely conservation of wave period (or time). These two counterpart laws of conservation correspond exactly to the particle “half” and to the wave “half” of wave-particle duality.6. The principle of quantum invariance is introduced. It means that all physical laws have to be invariant to discrete and continuous (smooth) morphisms (motions) or mathematically, to the axiom of choice.The list is not intended to be exhausted or disjunctive, but only to give an introductory idea.
