The Problems of Quantum Mechanics and Possible Solutions - Copenhagen Interpretation, Many Worlds Interpretation, Transactional Interpretation, Decoherence, and Quantum Logic

Authors: Rochelle Forrester
Comments: 18 Pages. [Corrections made by viXra Admin to conform with scholarly norm - Please conform]

This paper reviews some of the literature on the philosophy of quantum mechanics. The publications involved tend to follow similar patterns of first identifying the mysteries, puzzles or paradoxes of the quantum world, and then discussing the existing interpretations of these matters, before the authors produce their own interpretations, or side with one of the existing views. The paper will show that all interpretations of quantum mechanics involve elements of apparent weirdness. They suggest that the quantum world, and possibly our macro world, exists or behaves in a way quite contrary to the way we normally imagine they should. The paper will also show how many of the writers on quantum mechanics misunderstand idealism in the macro world as proposed by philosophers such as George Berkeley, David Hume, Immanuel Kant and John Stuart Mill and misunderstand the concept of the observer dependent universe. The paper concludes by examining the similarities between the idealist view of the macro world and the Copenhagen Interpretation of the quantum world and suggests that as the Copenhagen Interpretation provides a view of the quantum world that is consistent with the macro world then the Copenhagen Interpretation should be the preferred view of the quantum world.

Schrodinger Equation and Free Particle Wave Function

Authors: Karl Depaepe
Comments: 2 Pages.

Using the wave function of a free particle we obtain a solution of the Schrodinger equation for a class of potentials.

The Neutron as an Electric Dipole

Authors: Jean Louis Van Belle
Comments: 15 Pages. [Note by viXra Admin: Immediate and/or frequent replacements will be rejected without notice]

This paper completes the analysis of the 1/r and a/r2 Coulomb and nuclear potential functions through a consequent analysis of the mass-energy equivalence using the standard orbital energy formula (Kepler’s third law) and ensuring (physical) dimensional consistency. The function yield the desired crossing of potentials and the expected combined potential well function. Further analysis of the qe/m and gN/m charge/mass-energy ratios and the different nature of the singularities at the center may explain the rather enormous proton/neutron energy/mass when accepting a Yukawa/Schrödinger-type nuclear force and potential. The model has the advantage of not introducing new fundamental constants (except for the nuclear charge gN), respecting relativity theory (no superluminal speeds), and confirming Planck’s quantum of action as the fundamental unit of physical action (h) and angular momentum (ħ) in particle-field exchanges of energy and momentum.

On the Correlation in Bell-test Experiments

Authors: Gerard van der Ham
Comments: 9 Pages.

This paper throws a new light on Bell-test experiments. It is analyzed what the results of Bell-test experiments exactly represent and how they come to existance. It turns out that the 'violation of Bell's inequalities' can be accounted for in a logical way and that there is no need for 'spooky action at a distance'. A condition is that spin is a definite property of particles

The Biological Origin of Quantum Effects in the Universe

Authors: Kazmer Ujvarosy
Comments: 3 Pages.

The origin of quantum effects in our open universe is explainable without calling in the aid of agents not in evidence by proposing that human life constitutes the universe’s seed or input and output. Biogenesis affirms the eternity of human life and falsifies abiogenesis. From the human origin of the universe follows that quantum effects are taking place throughout the universe since its beginning. Our open universe, being the quantum system of its human input, yields human output akin to the human input. Human life and the universe are indubitably in evidence, consequently the theory is falsifiable.
