Quantenmechanik,Beobachtung und Deutung

The doctrine of wave-particle duality and complementarity has been regarded since the late 1920's as the only possible interpretation of observations such as electron diffraction through crystals and screens with two slits as well as other coherence phenomena. Physicists have been unaware that those apparent wave features can be accounted for, without supernatural dual manifestations made palatable by semi-philosophical renunciation, by the unitary quantum mechanics of matter particles alone if one only is consistent enough to admit that there are three (rather than only two) conservation laws of mechanics, hence there are three (rather than two) corresponding selection rules, forE, P and also for the linear momentump, restricting the mechanical activity of time-, angular-periodic, and also of space-periodic systems. This clears up the mystery of dualism in a physical manner without philosophical subtleties and leads to a great simplification of the quantum ideology.     

Erzwingt die Quantenmechanik eine drastische Änderung unseres Weltbilds? Gedanken und Experimente nach Einstein,Podolsky und Rosen

Do Quantum Mechanics Force us to Drastically Change our View of the World? Thoughts and Experiments after Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen Since the advent of quantum mechanics there have been attempts of its interpretation in terms of statistical theory concerning individual ‘classical’ systems. The very conditions necessary to consider hidden variable theories describing these individual systems as ‘classical’ had been pointed out by Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen in 1935: 1. Physical systems are in principle separable. 2. If it is possible to predict with certainty the value of a physical quantity without disturbing the system under consideration, then there exists an element of physical reality corresponding to this physical quantity. Together they are, as was shown by Bell in 1964, incompatible in principle with quantum mechanics and no more tenable in view of recent experiments. These experiments once more corroborate quantum theory. In order to understand their results we are forced either to drop the assumption of separability of physical systems (taken for self-evident in classical physics) or to change our concept of physical reality. After investigating the notion of separability and connecting the ‘EPR-correlations’ to the measurement problem we, conclude that a change of the concept of physical reality is indispensable. The revised concept should be compatible with both classical and quantum physics in order to allow a uniform view of the physical world.     

Demokrit – Planck

Demokrit – Planck A branch of physics exists closely linked to the constant h and associated with atomism. It is this h-physics that Planck originated. But atomism like existence of localized, charged particles with different masses does not follow from this physics, especially the charge quant. Hence Demokrit asserted more then quantum physics is competent to answer.
