Non-Locality & Oneness of Reality
Non-locality, particularly in quantum mechanics, refers to phenomena that appear to violate the principle of locality. The principle of locality states that an object is influenced directly only by its immediate surroundings.
Oneness of Reality states that all reality is continuous, consistent and harmonious. Therefore, space is continuous. Space denotes dimensions of substance. If there is space, there must be substance filling it. Hence, there is no such thing as void. Non-locality implies that there are voids, and the space is discontinuous.
The quantum theory supports voids, but defines it as a field filled with fluctuating energy and activity. This is a self contradiction. It also contradicts the very idea of non-locality. In some quantum field theories, the vacuum can have non-vanishing expectation values of field operators, known as condensates. So, here we have mathematics defining reality, and that too in a contradicting manner.
The actual reality of Casimir effect is explained by means of virtual particles of quantum vacuum. Newton will be shocked at this explanation of “action at a distance.” It reminds one of Alice in Wonderland.
We have already discovered misconceptions in quantum mechanics about quanta having point positions. Entanglement can be explained by defining the position of a quantum particle by its wavelength. What is viewed as two entangled particles is actually the same particle occupying a very large position in space.
By looking at the Casimir effect more closely, more real explanations can be arrived at. One must not accept the twisted “reality” of contradictions that exist in abundance in quantum mechanics.
