Quantum Mechanics
Quantum mechanics is a theory in physics that contradicts the classical physics model of Isaac Newton (the universe as a mechanical device). Like the Big Bang Theory and Albert Einstein's Relativity theory, it is used as a dogma in the Science Church.
In qm light can be both a wave and a particle. The subatomic realm is described in probabilities. Interdimensionals reside in the empty space of the atom (99% of the atom is empty).
Louis de Broglie (Legion of Honour) suggested that all matter has wave properties. Ludwig Boltzmann introduced the atomic model in statistical mechanics.
John von Neumann and Herman Weyl provided the mathematical framework for quantum mechanics.
Niels Bohr introduced the Bohr model of the atom and was the mentor of Werner Heisenberg. Ernest Solvay organized the Solvay conferences.
Otto Stern and Walther Gerlach conducted the Stern-Gerlach experiment in 1922, explaining the results as 1/2 spin of electrons.
James Chadwick discovered the neutron in 1932. Mathematican John von Neumann published Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics.
Linus Pauling wrote Introduction to Quantum Mechanics with Applications to Chemistry.
Samuel Goudsmit (Goldsmith) who worked for MIT and with MI6 agent Eric Welsh, proposed the concept of electron spin. Max Planck introduced the Planck constant (symbol of Saturn).
Wolfgang Pauli formulated the Pauli exclusion principle, after which Enrico Fermi and Paul Dirac introduced the Dirac-Fermi statistics concept to describe 'fermions'. Dirac also coined the term 'quantum electrodynamics'.
Lev Landau developed the theory of diamagnetism in free electron gas.
In 1964 Peter Higgs predicted the discovery of a Higgs boson, to explain the mass of elementary particles. The same year Murray Gell-Man invented the concept of a quark.
CERN in Geneva Switzerland (near Davos, hq of World Economic Forum) performs experiments of smashing atoms in particle accelerators like the Large Hadron Collider, to try to open dimensional portals, to recreate the days of Genesis and to predict the future (dark art of geomancy and divination).
In 1975 Elizabeth Rauscher (SRI, NASA) founded the Fundamental Fysiks Group, affiliated with University of California Berkeley and Esalen, with Fritjof Capra (Tao of Physics), Gary Zukav (Club of Budapest, promoted by Oprah Winfrey), Nick Herbert (Quantum Reality), Fred Alan Wolf (Discovery Channel), John Clauser, Jack Sarfatti (Brandeis University, theory of torsion fields).
Leon Lederman wrote The God Particle.
Quantum mechanics was popularized by Michio Kaku and used to spread disinfo in the New Age Church (free zero point energy, quantum healing of Deepak Chopra, What the Bleep Do We Know?!, theories about synchronicity). Joe Dispenza of What the Bleep Do We Know?! works for Gaia.com.
David Kaiser (MIT) wrote How the Hippies Saved Physics: Science, Counterculture, and the Quantum Revival (2011).
Nick Herbert in Quantum Reality makes the distinction between 8 different interpretations: the Copenhagen interpretation (Niels Bohr and Heisenberg), interpretation of John Archibald Wheeler, many-worlds-interpretation (Wheeler's student Hugh Everett), Quantum logic (John von Neuman), Neorealism (David Bohm), Consciousness creates reality, duplex world of Heisenberg.
In 2016 Hugh Everett introduced the concept of many worlds parallel universes (popularized in series and Hollywood propaganda).
Main concepts
- particle-wave duality, waves can be
particles dependent on the observer effect (the double slit experiment)
- Werner Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. Heisenberg worked with
Niels Bohr at the University of Copenhagen and was used in the German
nuclear power program during WW2.
- Copenhagen interpretation (named after meeting of Albert Einstein, Max Planck and Niels Bohr in Copenhagen Denmark) of Niels Bohr that draws a strict line between microscopic and macroscopic objects. The Schrödinger equation of Erwin Schrödinger describes the wave function of an object, which describes the probability of allowed states (no certainty). The act of measuring something creates the reality that we observe. A wave, such as a beam of light, is defined by five properties:
- the wavelength (distance between crests in the wave pattern)
- frequency (how many times the wave oscillates per second at a given point)
- amplitude (the distance between the top of a crest and the bottom of a trough)
- the direction in which the wave moves
- polarization, the direction along which the wave oscillates.
The disappearance and reappearance of the pattern in the quantum-eraser experiment confirms that measurement is an active process and determines what will happen in other experiments. The concept of physical reality not existing until a measurement is made (consciousness), led to quantum mysticism. The quantum Zeno effect uses the active nature of quantum measurement to prevent a quantum object (like an atom) from moving from one state to another, by making repeated measurements.
Other concepts used in quantum mechanics: decoherence (when
wave functions fall apart), quantum tunneling, teleportation, quantum
entanglement, quantum electrodynamics,..
While scientists explain gravity through general relativity, electromagnetism is explained in quantum electrodynamics, the weak force in electroweak theory, the strong force in quantum chromodynamics. On an atomic scale, gravitation supposedly is the weakest force.
The Standard Model is a collection of fictional elementary particles like fermions (quarks and
antiquarks, leptons and antileptons) and bosons (Gauge bosons like
photons, W and Z bosons, gluons and Scalar bosons like the Higgs boson).
Fermions obey the Fermi-Dirac statistics, bosons obey the Bose-Einstein
statistics.
Most modern technology depends on quantum mechanics in one way or
another. Modern electronic devices and computer chips rely on quantum
effects in order to operate, and optical devices like the lasers and
LEDs used in modern telecommunications are fundamentally quantum
devices.
Quantum computers can solve problems faster than any classical computer. Quantum cryptography protects messages using unbreakable codes.
