Full Title
Physics is just a collection of Physics. We still are in need of a few more to make sense of the world we live in.
Abstract
This paper will enumerate the problems faced by the Physics of today and explore solutions that might be successful in overcoming those Problems.
Problems
- Entanglement or superposition primarily as expressed by Einstein as "Spooky Actions at a Distance." We will focus here on the Anton Zeilinger experiment with two entangled photons emitted in opposite directions. The state of either is not knowable until a measurement is made on either of the photons. Only then do we know the state of both.
- Dark Stuff including the Dark Energy and Dark Matter hypotheses tell us that we know the source of neither all energy nor all momentum.
- Continuous verses quantum (discrete) values.
- Zeno, a pupil of Parmenides, showed clearly that the infinite and the infinitesimal were absurd. But we know that the differential calculus works in predicting motion.
- Reconciling General Relativity to a Quantum Physic.
- Conservation laws are local, that is when a region in space loses energy, it must be accounted for by a flow of energy, usually as a photon. When we perform the Zeilinger experiment (or any similar one) the local state is not knowable until we get a measurement of one of the photons. In other words the energy of the local region depends on what happens somewhere else at some time else. In general, the only way to know how much energy or momentum has left a region is to measure it.
- It is not possible to know the path that a "particle" takes in 4-space. All we can do is generate them at one point and record when they hit a detector at another. The path they travel is never known. The principle of least-action does provide some information about the path, but it is never exact.
Postulate
The follow were selected in an arbitrary manner, but they seem to be suitable for physics and do not exhibit any of the above problems.
- All things that are measurable are discrete.
- The Schrodinger Equations (SE) is not directly measurable as it propagates.
