A Comparison Study between Identical Particles and True-Fake Monkey Kings
Xiaohui Jiang
In the famous Chinese myth fiction Journey to the West, the story of True-Fake Monkey Kings is amazing, and the identical particles problem in quantum mechanics is puzzling; the true monkey king was found out after a series of methods, but the particles were not so lucky. They shared the topic of individuality. They all began with the indistinguishablilty; however, the monkey kings did not lose their individuality, while the particles were considered to lose theirs. We will throw light on the point that which the particles lost is the cordiality, not the cardinality, and cardinality can be premise of individualization. Thus, at least, the particles' individuality is not wholly lost.
