The Conservation Laws in Quantum Mechanics

Richard Joseph Oldani

Published Jul 3, 2023• 2 citations

Abstract

Using arguments originally introduced by Einstein we show that the reductionist philosophy of quantum mechanics reverses the natural order. In quantum mechanics emission is followed by observation and interpreted classically with the collapse of the wave function, whereas in nature classical absorptions of energy precede emission. Also momentum transfers leading to emissions are asymmetric with respect to spatial orientation and time, but are disregarded in quantum mechanics because molecular impulses cannot be observed. Thus despite irrefutable physical evidence that microscopic processes evolve asymmetrically the wave function is assumed to apply symmetrically in time. The deficiencies are corrected by introducing Hamilton’s principle and deriving relativistic equations of motion. The calculus of variations is then applied to the wave function to show that it is an incomplete equation of motion because it yields twice the allowable action minimum thereby allowing the concept of reality to be redefined.

The Conservation Laws in Quantum Mechanics

Richard Joseph Oldani

It is often claimed that Einstein is wrong about quantum mechanics. However, when comparisons are made with respect to theoretical foundations rather than experimental results Einstein’s theories are found to be superior. Although quantum mechanics correctly predicts what it is possible to observe (the emissions) with remarkable accuracy it ignores the other half of natural phenomena, that which cannot be observed (the absorptions), thereby violating the conservation of energy. Similarly, the conservation of momentum is violated by disregarding unobservable molecular impulses. Despite irrefutable proof that molecular impulses transfer momentum asymmetrically as shown by Einstein’s derivation of the A and B coefficients, the wave function is assumed to apply symmetrically in time. The deficiencies are corrected by introducing Hamilton’s principle and deriving relativistic equations of motion. This allows non-relativistic quantum mechanics to be described with a physical model and wave function behavior to be interpreted as the combined action of a particle and its associated quantized field. The calculus of variations is applied to the wave function to show that it is an incomplete equation of motion because it yields twice the allowable action minimum. The concept of reality is redefined by showing that reductionism applies to classical phenomena, but not quantum phenomena.

Although quantum mechanics correctly predicts what it is possible to observe (the emissions) it ignores the other half of natural phenomena, what cannot be observed (the absorptions), thereby violating the conservation laws. By describing only one-half of quantum mechanics conceptual difficulties such as wave function collapse, infinite paths, and inscrutable mathematics seem to appear out of nowhere. The deficiencies are corrected by introducing Hamilton’s principle S = ∫ Ldt and applying the methods of quantum field theory to derive relativistic equations of motion. The calculus of variations is used to show that the wave function represents an incomplete equation of motion because it equals twice the allowable action minimum.

The conservation laws in quantum mechanics revisited and extended

Richard Joseph Oldani

It is often claimed that Einstein is wrong about quantum mechanics. However, when comparisons are made with respect to theoretical foundations rather than experimental results Einstein’s theories are found to be superior. Although quantum mechanics correctly describes energy exchange due to emissions with remarkable accuracy it ignores momentum exchange (the absorptions), thereby failing to recognize their causal relationship due to the conservation laws. The deficiencies in non-relativistic theory are corrected by introducing Hamilton’s principle and deriving relativistic equations of motion. This allows wave function behavior to be described as the combined action of a particle and an associated localized field. The calculus of variations is applied to the Schrödinger wave equation to show that it is incomplete because it yields twice the allowable action minimum.

Foundations of quantum mechanics revealed by the conservation laws

Richard Joseph Oldani

It is often claimed that Einstein is wrong about quantum mechanics. However, when comparisons are made with respect to theoretical foundations rather than experimental results Einstein’s theories are found to be superior. Because he did not complete his theory its far-reaching, intuitively motivated derivations were never properly appreciated. It is the only theory based on a relativistically correct foundation, the time evolution of energy states, rather than the stipulation of energy eigenvalues in absolute time. Further development of his arguments based on the momentum reveals that although non-relativistic theory correctly predicts what it is possible to observe (the emissions) with remarkable accuracy it neglects the other half of natural phenomena, that which cannot be observed (the absorptions), thereby violating the conservation of energy. The deficiencies in non-relativistic theory are corrected by introducing Hamilton’s principle and deriving relativistic equations of motion. This allows quantum mechanical formalism in abstract space to be replaced by the superposition of particle field geometries in real space. Direct application of the calculus of variations to an electron cycle reveals that the wave function is incomplete because it requires twice the allowable action minimum.
