Einstein & Quantum Mechanics

In a letter dated April 23, 1950 to Schrödinger, Einstein expressed his dissatisfaction with the prevailing interpretation of quantum mechanics and praised Schrödinger for his famous thought experiment involving a cat in a box.

Einstein’s 1950 Letter to Erwin Schrödinger

According to Einstein quantum mechanics was incomplete and inconsistent with the notion of reality.

Einstein praised Schrödinger for this famous thought experiment, which illustrated the paradoxical nature of quantum superposition. He argued that the cat’s existence should not depend on the act of observation and that there must be a more complete description of reality.

The new theory of Substance reinterprets the same data that quantum mechanics is based on. It replaces the discontinuous picture of reality presented by quantum mechanics by a continuous picture. This does not change the positive results of quantum mechanics. However, it may simplify its mathematical model.

The unreality of quantum mechanics comes from its “point particle” assumption. This assumption is a good approximation for atoms and larger particles. But it is no longer appropriate at subatomic levels as explained in the essay The Uncertainty Principle.

The Superposition principle of quantum mechanics tries to explain the continuous nature of substance at subatomic level through a linear combination of many discrete states. This introduces the unreality of discontinuity. This is explained in the essay Quantum Superposition.

The Theory of Substance may initially be validated through very simple math presented in the essay The Rigidity of Mass.

The math of fluid mechanics may be used in a modified form for quantum mechanics.

Physics and Brainwashing

Brainwashing occurs when a person cannot see what is there. He only sees what agrees with his mental state.

At one time people believed that the sun revolves around the earth. The Catholic Church pushed that as a fact on the population. It even punished Galileo for saying that it was earth that revolved around the sun.

The above is an example of a brainwashed state of mind, that could not see the inconsistency that Copernicus revealed with his brilliant observation and math. Similar problem was faced by Einstein about his brilliant ideas.

Today all kind of inconsistencies are simply swallowed by gullible people and even by scientists who cannot see inconsistency because of their mental fixations. It is so bad that they would rather change their view of reality instead.

This is happening today with respect to strange interpretations of the mathematics of General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. Until such inconsistencies are confronted head on as demanded by The Scientific Method, the scientific progress will remain at a standstill.

Yes, there is mind-blowing progress in Technology, but let’s not confuse that with scientific progress.

The Speed of Light

The theory of relativity postulates that the speed is light, in vacuum, is a universal constant. But this speed is affected by gravitational fields, and that is taken into account in General relativity. The reason speed of light is affected by gravity is because light has a small amount of consistency. This consistency is like very diluted mass. Therefore, light has inertia, though it is extremely small compared to the inertia of matter.

The theory of Substance postulates that the property of consistency (or mass) is inherent to all substance. This includes the whole spectrum of electromagnetic (EM) energy. The consistency of gamma rays at the upper end of the EM spectrum is close to the consistency of electrons. So, the EM spectrum continues as the spectrum of matter as shown in The Rigidity of Mass.

The theory of Substance also postulates that the property of motion in vacuum is inherent to all substances. We are aware of this for light, but light is not unique in this respect. The motion of all bodies, such as, moon, planet, sun, star, etc., is inherent to them.

These two inherent properties of substance—consistency and motion—have an extremely precise inverse relationship that leads to constant speed of substance. For example, light has a very precise constant speed because its motion is exactly balanced by its consistency. We are only aware this in regard to the visible light that forms a very small part of the EM spectrum, but based on The Rigidity of Mass, one would expect the speed of radio waves to be faster than the speed of light, and the speed of gamma rays to be slower.

The idea that the speed of light is a property of electromagnetic waves and that it arises from the vacuum’s permittivity and permeability is based on Maxwell’s theory.  Maxwell’s theory is based on the postulate of aether, and the precise properties of aether are yet to be determined. So Maxwell’s theory provides some average relationships only. The mathematical model used by Maxwell was an ingenious breakthrough for its time, and Einstein could build up from there. The mathematical model used by Einstein for General Relativity is extremely accurate. 

The theory of Substance does not change anything. It simply provides some insights that are lost in the complex mathematics of twentieth century. In GR, the curvature of space is actually the curvature of substance other than matter. That substance is made up of cosmic rays, electromagnetic radiation and the black-box of “aether.” The mass actually decreases with speed, while space and time expand.

The theory of Substance applies non-mathematical live logic to the substance from sub-atomic to cosmic scale. It reveals why Quantum Mechanics has become so complex and unreal. It provides insights to simplify that complexity.
