The incoherence of Quantum Decoherence explained

A link to a video explaining incoherence of Quantum Decoherence

What is Quantum Decoherence could it be more than just a real physical process that is going on everywhere all of the time. In this theory it is part of a process that forms the forward passage of Time itself forming the geometry of Einstein’s curvature of spacetime.

Decoherence happens whenever a quantum system or wave-function is no longer isolated and comes in contact with another quantum wave-particle function forming classical physics of our everyday life.

When this happens the superposition or probability of Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle ∆×∆p×≥h/4π is lost. The uncertainty of the Quantum wave-particle function becomes the probability we see and feel as the forward passage of time.

Therefore each photon electron coupling becomes a new moment of time within its own reference frame (the moment of now). Our future unfolds photon by photon, quanta by quanta.
~

Mathematically each photon electron coupling can be represented as zero with the positive numbers marching off along the x and y axis towards an infinite future and the negative numbers receding towards a limitless past.

At the quantum level this can be seen as matter and antimatter as electron (negative charge) and positron (positive charge) creation and annihilation. Matter is a fine balance of positive and negative electric charge coming in and out of existence. This forms a universal and continuous process of change that we see and feel as a future and a past.

The positive and negative of electromagnetic waves will form an electric potential that is part of a continuous process that forms the time continuum or the Arrow of Time itself.
~

This theory is based on two simple postulates,

1, The first is that the Quantum Wave Particle Function explained by Schrödinger’s wave equation represents the forward passage of time or arrow of time ∆E ∆t ≥ h/2π itself photon by photon, quanta by quanta or moment by moment.

2. The second is that Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle ∆×∆p×≥h/4π that is formed by the Quantum Wave-Particle Function is the same uncertainty that we have with any future event.

Could we be the dice players of quantum physics?

Albert Einstein ‘I, at any rate, am convinced that He [God] does not throw dice’. 1926

~

This theory is based on two simple postulates,

1) The first is that the quantum wave particle function explained by Schrödinger’s wave equation represents the forward passage of time itself photon by photon or quanta by quanta.

2) Therefore Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle that is formed by the wave function is the same uncertainty that we have with any future event.

~

This can sound odd because we think of “time” in different ways; we have time as a measurement to get from A to B. We also have cosmological time looking back at the history of our Universe as a whole.

Modern physics has no understanding of why we have an arrow of time or a future and a past. But time in this theory is a continuous process forming the future geometry of spacetime photon by photon or moment by moment.

In Quantum Atom Theory the atoms interact with light wave of EMR continuously collapsing the quantum wave particle function forming photons that form electrical charge that in turn form electromagnetic fields in three dimensions.

This forms the local spacetime geometry a time-varying electric field act as a source of a magnetic field, and a time-varying magnetic field was the source of an electric field. When either field is changing in time, then a field of the other is induced.

This will be relative to the position and momentum of the objects creating the time variations, the atoms themselves.

There is a complete and perfect symmetry between positive and negative electric charge. Every particle variety there exist an antiparticle counterpart that forms a profound symmetry within the spacetime geometry of our Universe.

In this theory the continuous formation and breaking of these symmetries relate not just to space but represent the forward flow or passage of time itself.

In modern physics everything has its own reference frames that will have its own proper time relative to its energy of mass. The greater the mass the slower time runs in that reference frame forming Einstein curvature of spacetime.

We are all at the centre of our own reference frame and have our own proper time. I could set up a wave function of where I might be tomorrow and it would have the same uncertainty and probability as the wave function of quantum physics.

Because of quantum probability we cannot predict when an individual nucleus will decay in a radioactive sample. Therefore we have the half-life, the time it takes half the nuclei in a sample to decay over a period of time.

This is the same probability we have in classical physics if we take a group of people we cannot predict the life of an individual person of the group, but we can calculate a half-life for the whole group statistically over a period of time.

This theory might sound child-like but it is based on the Correspondence Principle and has a one-to-one correspondence between an element of the theory and an element of reality.

We have probability propagating according to the laws of causality. This gives us a coherent physical interpretation of quantum physics. Objects will form their own spacetime geometry relative to their energy or mass. They will also form the uncertainty of their own future potential as time unfolds ∆E ∆t ≥ h/2π.

The Planck constant h is a constant of action within the geometry of spacetime forming part of a physical process that forms an independent objective reality that we can interact with forming the possible into the actual.

We see and feel this as the forward passage of time and as the uncertainty and probability of everyday life. We see a temporary image of our Universe moment by moment continuously changing made up of an infinite number of photons.

~

Each electron has its own three-dimensional spacetime two electrons requires six-dimensions three electrons require nine dimensions and so on.

But no two electrons can share the same quantum state at the same time. This is just the same as an object in our everyday life cannot be in two places at the same time.

Because classical mechanics is an approximation of quantum mechanics we only ever have three-dimensions and the other dimensions represent a potential sequence forming the time continuum.

The deep fundamental difference between quantum and classical mechanics is that quantum mechanics represents the forward passage of time itself.

I hope to base this theory on pure mathematics and therefore pure physics. I believe this can be done in just three dimensions and one variable time.

~

Each photon electron coupling represents zero representing a new moment it time (the moment of now) with the positive numbers marching off towards an infinite future, their negative sibling recede towards a limitless past (the positive and negative of EMW).

In this theory it is because time only moves forward that matrix mathematics of Quantum Mechanics does not obey the commutative law of multiplication in which x times y is always equal to y times x nothing can go backwards in time!

Add to this that the probability of the wave function only works one way in time. It is within the rules of quantum physics to calculate backwards and work out what the position and momentum was at some time in the past exactly as we can in our everyday life.

It makes no difference if you use Schrödinger’s wave equation or the matrix algebra of Heisenberg’s quantum particles. This theory gives us an intuitive picture capturing the existence of an underlying layer of reality. This gives us an objective reality to quantum mechanics as a process of continuous symmetry forming and breaking a process of continuous creation.

Einstein forming his own position and momentum, therefore is own probability.

Einstein's dream an objective quantum mechanics

Einstein’s worked until the end of his life to find an independent objective reality to quantum mechanics.

Einstein believed the quantum theory was correct but not complete. He believed in a hidden variable that would give quantum mechanics an objective reality that would fit in with the reality of our everyday life.

Most other physicist believed that no reasonable definition of reality could be expected to permit the paradoxes of quantum mechanics.

Einstein said “the next stage in the development of theoretical physics will bring us a theory of light that may be conceived of as a sort of fusion of wave and of emission theory of light.

~

In Einstein’s Universe position and momentum at the quantum level would be explained in just the same way as it is for an object in our everyday life.

Einstein said “while we have thus shown that the wave function does not provide a complete description of the physical reality, we left open the question of whether or not such a description exists. We believe, however, that such a theory is possible”.

Quantum Atom theory is such a theory and from two simple postulates can explain the paradoxes of quantum mechanics.

The first postulate is that the wave function explained mathematically by Schrodinger’s wave equation represents the arrow of time forming the geometry of spacetime.

The second postulate is that Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle that is formed by the expanding wave function is the same uncertainty that we have with any future event.

Without Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle we would not have the uncertainty and probability of everyday life. The probability of the quantum wave particle function only works one way in time. Just like the uncertainty of everyday life it is always possible to calculate backwards and work out exactly what the position and momentum was at some time in the past just like looking back in history

In the General Theory of Relativity Einstein beautifully explained that the presence of objects in space curves it forming the curvature or geometry of spacetime. If the object moves around then the curvature of space will change as well.

This theory explains the process of how objects form their own rate of time forming the curvature of spacetime. An object will react with the wave particle duality of the light distorting the geometry of spacetime relative to their energy or mass. This will form the passage of time photon by photon the greater the energy or mass the slower time will run in that reference frame.

A moving object will distort its own spacetime geometry more in the direction of its motion. This will form an unbalanced force and the object will keep moving in that direction unless acted upon by an external object. Therefore we have Galileo’s principle of inertia supporting Newton’s first law of motion.

In this theory we can all form our own spacetime geometry forming our own future because our actions will change our energy or mass.

This is why the Planck Constant is a constant of action and represents part of the continuum of time continuously coming into existence photon by photon or moment by moment.

Could William Blake have been right, could everything be an infinity?

William Blake 1757…

~

A quote from William Blake “If the door of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite”. Could William Blake have been right, could everything be an infinity?

A link to the video “Could our Universe be an infinity” This video explains how we can have a potential infinity of probabilities at every degree and angle of creation. This is because of the probabilistic nature of the wave particle duality of light.

In modern physics there is only a mathematical interpretation of the wave particle duality of light called the quantum wave particle function.

But in this theory the quantum wave particle function is a physical process continuously collapsing and reforming that forms the forward passage of time photon by photon or moment by moment.

The forward momentum of light forms the forward passage of time and geometry of spacetime.
~

The quantum wave particle function is a difficult concept to understand because it expands as a volume of space in the shape of an inverse sphere.

The reason for this is that we are part of the process or within the process.
It is like being within a room that is square in shape the room will be an inverse square because we are on the inside look out.

~

Therefore we have an inverse sphere that will expand out from zero in all directions along the x and y axis as part of an infinite process.

The spherical shape of the quantum wave particle function can be seen in the equations of quantum physics (∆×∆p×≥h/4π) in the form of 4 π representing a sphere.

In this theory π is more than just the ratio of any circle’s circumference to its diameter more than a static universal constant. The irrational number π that forms the infinite series 3.14159265979… represents the geometry of a dynamic process of symmetry forming and breaking forming the time continuum and the geometry we see in everyday life.

This can be mathematically explained by what Cantor called ‘the continuum hypotheses’. Cantor discovered a structure to infinity and that there are more numbers between zero and one than there are whole numbers.

He found that we can build greater and greater infinities from zero up and that the further you move away from zero the less infinities you have.

This theory can give us a physical starting point to any infinite series. We can choose when and where to collapse the quantum wave particle function forming new particles in space and new moments in time.

This will form a new wave function of future potential that will expand out from zero in all directions forming an infinity of possibilities.

The forward momentum of light or EMR is continuously collapsing and reforming. This forms a universal fractal branching process that forms the geometry of spacetime and the arrow of time itself.

Therefore Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle is the same uncertainty that we have with any future event.
~

Is Zeno’s paradox linked to Quantum Mechanics?

Could Zeno’s infinities be the same infinities we have in Quantum Electrodynamics?

~

This post will put forward the view that Zeno’s paradoxes represent something fundamentally wrong with our understanding of the structure of space and time.

This forms a problem that runs through the whole of human mathematics.

That starts with the discovery of irrational numbers in ancient Greece and forms infinities at the base of Newton and Leibniz calculus.

It can also be seen at the heart of Cantor’s set theory and also as a paradox in his continuum hypothesis.

Quantum electrodynamics also suffers from the problem of infinities that has not properly been solved.

There is also the measurement problem of quantum physics that has no logical explanation.

All this can only be explained by a fundamental change in our concept of space and time.

Zeno’s paradox can be expressed in many ways but for the purpose of this post it is best to think of dropping an object and measuring the time it takes to reach the ground.

We can always half the length of time the object takes to reach the ground and by doing this we will form an infinite series therefore the object will never reach the ground.

Zeno rejected the idea of infinity and so he had a paradox and believed that moving and changing to be an illusion and that only what ‘was’ mattered!

But the theory I am now going explain does not reject infinity but explains it as a universal process that forms the arrow of time and geometry of spacetime. (This does not mean that Zeno was wrong)

In this theory the forward passage of time is formed by the forward motion or momentum of light (EMR) forming the geometry of spacetime.
The probabilistic nature of the wave particle duality of light forms the flow of time itself. This is explained by Schrodinger equation that represents the quantum wave particle function.

Therefore Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle is the same uncertainty that we have with any future event and represents potential future possibilities.

The answer to the problem of infinity is that it only has the potential probability to exist. Aristotle was the first to introduce the idea of something being potentially infinite.

In this theory we have a potential infinity of probabilities at every degree and angle of spacetime because one thing after another is always coming into existence as part of the time continuum.

~

Geory Cantor

~

This can be explained mathematically by what Cantor called ‘the continuum hypothesis’ because it deals with the continuum of numbers between 0 and 1.

Cantor believed that we have more than one kind of infinity. There are more numbers between 0 and 1 than there are integers, more than infinity.

Set theory lies at the heart of mathematics but Cantor’ set theory relies on there being something called the empty set a set of nothingness.

One of the axioms (principles) of set theory is that we have a choice of choosing one member of any non-empty subset of the set.

This has caused a problem proving the continuum hypothesis. Because there is no explanation of human interaction, how is the choice to be made?

In this theory we have a physical starting point to any infinite series. We can choose when and where to collapse the quantum wave particle function forming new particles in space and new moments in time.

This will form a new wave function of future potential that will expand out from zero in all directions along the x and y axis forming part of an infinite process.

Just has Cantor could mathematically build up a never-ending series of larger and larger infinities this theory can also do the same in the physical world. This fits in with Pythagoras’ most central belief that reality has a mathematical base.

Therefore the infinities in the mathematics of Quantum electrodynamics are not a problem; they represent the continuum of time itself that is infinite and there is no need for the process call renormalization.

~

Sir Isaac Newton

~

Newton believed the Universe to be a true infinity. In the creation of calculus Newton thought in terms of motion of fluidity not in terms of the infinitely small.

This continuous process of change can be seen has a universal process of symmetry forming and breaking that forms fractal self similarities

Fractals, chaos theory shows that it is possible to have infinity in a finite world (Koch curve) all we need is a way of dividing space up into infinitely small portions.

This theory explains a process of how spacetime can be continuously formed that can always be dived up into infinitely small portions (mathematical infinity).

~

Kurt Godel

~

This also explains Kurt Gödel, Incompleteness Theorem some problems in mathematics can’t be solved no matter how you approach the problem.
Therefore we have the Measurement Problem and can never know the position and momentum of a quantum particle at the same time. This is because in the world something is in existence or it has the potential to exist, but never both.

In this theory mathematical infinity, physical infinity and absolute infinity are all one and the same.

~

“If the door of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite”.
William Blake 1757…

Could a lack of imagination have led to the Copenhagen interpretation of Quantum Mechanics?

This post will put forward the idea that by explaining the Universe (reality) as a continuum that is in a continuous process of creation, we can also explain Quantum mechanics as part of an objective reality.
~
In this theory (Quantum Atom Theory) this universal and continuous process is formed by the quantum wave particle function.
~
That is continuously collapsing and reforming creating new photon particles in space and new moments in time.
~
In this theory the forward momentum of light forms the forward passage of time or arrow of time photon by photon or moment by moment.
~
Therefore Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle is the same uncertainty that we have with any future event. The Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle does not work in the same way forwards and backwards in time.
~
We can always calculate backwards and find the position and momentum of a quantum particle in the past. This totally fits in with our everyday experience of the nature of time, moving from a known past into an uncertain future.

~

Is the observer effect true or false?

Some people say that the paradoxes of quantum mechanics can only be explained if it is linked to the consciousness of the observer in the so called “observer effect”. But this theory will put forward the opposite idea that a deeper understanding of the physics of quantum mechanics will give us a greater understanding of how consciousness works.

~

We can see in the Two Slit Experiment that it is only when a detector is turned on that the interference pattern collapses. In other words only when light comes into physical contact with something does it collapse into photons or particles. When the detector is turned off the interference pattern will reform.
~

It is the conscious idea that leads to the physical action but it is the action itself that collapses the wave function of quantum physics.
~
Only an understanding of the process that forms the passage of time and geometry of spacetime will explain quantum mechanics.
~

In this theory each new moment in time is formed by a single photon electron coupling creating a wave-function of future possibilities.
~
The inward absorption and outward emission of light or EMR forms the arrow of time and geometry of spacetime. We live in a Universe of infinite possibilities (Aristotle’s potential infinity) because of the Probabilistic nature of light.
~
On the level of everyday objects the observer will see an infinite number of photon electron couplings, forming a temporary image of the Universe, photon by photon or moment by moment.
~
Each new photon electron coupling will have its own position in three dimensional space and a position in time as part of the passage of time this is why everything is relative too everything else and we have Einstein’s general theory of relativity.
~
In this theory we form are own quantum particles, virtual particles only manifest themselves when something comes in contact with the quantum vacuum.

~

The atoms bond together and react with the wave particle duality of the light in unison forming their own future spacetime geometry we see and feel this as the free-will of everyday life.
~

This speculative diagram highlights the profound symmetry between matter and antimatter, positive and negative charge.
~

It is the inward absorption and outward emission of light or EMR that forms matter antimatter annihilation forming positive and negative charge that in turn forms electromagnetic fields.
~

Because of this process we have a potential infinity of future possibilities at every point in space and at every moment in time that can spiral out forming its own spacetime geometry. We have a continuous process of symmetry forming and breaking that formed a geometrical therefore mathematical base for the evolution of life.
~

This geometry that predated the evolution and gave life a mathematical base can still be seen today in the curvature and line symmetry of the individual life form.
~

Therefore we never have total chaos and everything is based on the same universal geometry and symmetry.

~

The continuous random breaking of this symmetry can be seen as Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle that is the same uncertainty that we have with any future event.
~

This is because the quantum wave-particle function that is explained mathematically by Schrödinger’s wave equation represents the forward passage of time itself photon by photon or moment by moment.

~

The laws of physics are universal therefore this process formed by the wave-particle duality of light must be happening everywhere and must effect everything even consciousness itself.
~

Despite rapid scientific progress, much about how our brains work remains a mystery. What we do know is that our brains’ work by electrical impulses forming chemical changes, this electrical activity forms electromagnetic fields.
If these electrical impulse that cause chemical changes are formed by photons than consciousness is formed by the physics of quantum mechanics.
~


Therefore our thought processes could be seen as the most advanced part of a universal process and our hopes and dreams could be forming their own potential future spacetime geometry.
