Is Quantum Mechanics a Sub-Paradigm? Aristotelian, Not Newtonian, Tenets Identified in Quantum Mechanics

A derivation of non-relativistic quantum mechanics is based on classical Newtonian mechanics.

We present a simple two-dimensional model of a “cat”—a body with zero angular momentum that can rotate itself with no external forces. The model is used to explain the nature of a gauge theory and to illustrate the importance of noncommutative operators. We compare the free-space cat in Newtonian mechanics and the same problem in Aristotelian mechanics at low Reynolds numbers (with the velocity proportional to the force rather than to the acceleration). This example shows the analogy between (angular) momentum in Newtonian mechanics and (torque) force in Aristotelian mechanics. We discuss a topological invariant common to the model in free space and at low Reynolds number.

Quantum mechanics has ruled the sub-atomic realm for over a century, asserting that the laws governing sub-atomic particles differ from those prevailing at the macro level. The implementation of wave-particle duality, the Schrodinger wave equation and its associated wave-function have eclipsed all other schools of thought with regard to the sub-atomic realm. Now Augmented Newtonian Dynamics (AND), challenges this outlook and implements Newtonian Dynamics at the sub-atomic level by stating that photons are not created externally to the electron as excitations of the electromagnetic field but rather are produced internally within the electron as a means of mediating its energy. This new paradigm of photon production enables the production and emission of photons at rates that comply with the latest findings through the observation of optical atomic clocks indicating that electrons emit photons in the hundreds of trillions per second. This has enabled the explanation of every branch of physics, not through the inaccurate, and esoteric implementation of wave-functions but through the easily understood and calculable classical physics paradigms. In this paper the conduction of electricity and the formation of radio-waves is discussed.

Could the paradigm of the quantum physics instrument a metaphysical reconstruction of the natural world? What connections exist between actuality, potentiality and the contradictory complementarity? What are the uncertainty relations and how do they meet the Hegelian Concept or the Aristotelian energeia? How does the metaphysics retrieve the negativity of becoming and what is the hermeneutic contrariety of the quantum mechanics?
