Full Title or Meme
The Particle Model was created for quantum mechanics to extended the physics of Newton's Planets to sub-atomic phenomenon.
That model is treated here as though it were a myth. Extraordinarily helpful perhaps, but, all the same, just a myth.
Context
Richard Feynman was ambivalent about the reality of either waves or particles, sometime talking about a particle being at a place at a time. The following though is what he told his students at Cal Tech.Newton thought that light was made up of particles, but then it was discovered that it behaves like a wave. Later, however (in the beginning of the twentieth century), it was found that light did indeed sometimes behave like a particle. Historically, the electron, for example, was thought to behave like a particle, and then it was found that in many respects it behaved like a wave. So it really behaves like neither. Now we have given up. We say: “It is like neither.”[1]
Solution
- The results from using the particle and wave models (as appropriate) gives results of spectacular and consistent accuracy.
- If something seems to good to be true, it typically is to good to be true.
- Something there is that rebels against such complex solutions.
- Nothing seems to be lost if we regard the wave equations as an information probe that is searching for a place to deposit a quantum of energy which just disappears at one point in spacetime are reappears at another.
- In other words, energy is preserved even though some of it is in-transit and not in existence at any one point in spacetime.
- The only purpose time serves (or derives from) is the measurement of the propagation of information.
- Matter cannot move faster than information.
- When particles are entangled, they cannot be measured. They arrive when an event occurs that establishes their reality.
- Our reality is just a string of events.
