Quantum Theory and Wave/Particle Duality
A work in Progress; modified: 7-March-2001
Many interpretations of quantum physics incorporate the idea that particles (or some property associated with particles) propagate as waves.
The object of this article is to examine the core assumptions behind this wave/particle idea with a view to developing a different model that is consistent with relativity, observation and the mathematical formalism.

    Essentially, wave/particle duality employs the notion that an entity simultaneously possesses localized (particle) and distributed (wave) properties. The idea has been introduced into modern physics to account for observations in which particles of matter interact to produce effects that appear to be identical to the effects that occur when waves diffract and interfere. However, the concept of rests on an assumption. It is assumed that wave propagation mechanisms can provide the only possible explanation for scattering effects observed in experiments such as the Twin Slit experiment.

24. M-theory, The Theory Formerly Known As Strings
But since we cannot build a consistent quantum theory from GR, several puzzles were raised concerning the microscopic physics of black holes.
http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/gr/public/qg_ss.html
M-theory, the theory formerly known as Strings
The Standard Model
In the standard model of particle physics, particles are considered to be points moving through space, tracing out a line called the World Line. To take into account the different interactions observed in Nature one has to provide particles with more degrees of freedom than only their position and velocity, such as mass, electric charge, color (which is the "charge" associated with the strong interaction) or spin.
String Theory
In String Theory, the myriad of particle types is replaced by a single fundamental building block, a `string'. These strings can be closed, like loops, or open, like a hair. As the string moves through time it traces out a tube or a sheet, according to whether it is closed or open. Furthermore, the string is free to vibrate, and different vibrational modes of the string represent the different particle types, since different modes are seen as different masses or spins. One mode of vibration, or `note', makes the string appear as an electron, another as a photon. There is even a mode describing the graviton, the particle carrying the force of gravity, which is an important reason why String Theory has received so much attention. The point is that we can make sense of the interaction of two gravitons in String theory in a way we could not in QFT. There are no infinities! And gravity is not something we put in by hand. It has to be there in a theory of strings. So, the first great achievement of String Theory was to give a consistent theory of quantum gravity, which resembles GR at macroscopic distances. Moreover String Theory also possesses the necessary degrees of freedom to describe the other interactions! At this point a great hope was created that String Theory would be able to unify all the known forces and particles together into a single `Theory of Everything'.

Feature: December 1999 Quantum mechanics is the most accurate theory we have to describe the world, but there is still much about it that we do not fully understand. Quantum mechanics is a great deal more than a theory; it is a whole new way of looking at the world. When it was developed in the 1920s, quantum mechanics was viewed primarily as a way of making sense of the host of observations at the level of single electrons, atoms or molecules that could not be explained in terms of Newtonian mechanics and Maxwellian electrodynamics. Needless to say, it has been spectacularly successful in this task. Around 75 years later, as we enter the new millennium, most physicists are confident that quantum mechanics is a fundamental and general description of the physical world. Indeed, serious attempts have been made to apply quantum ideas not merely to laboratory-scale inanimate matter but also, for example, to the workings of human consciousness and to the universe as a whole. Yet despite this confidence, the nagging questions that so vexed the founding fathers of quantum theory - and which many of them thought had finally been laid to rest after years of struggle - have refused to go away. Indeed, as we shall see, in many cases these questions have returned to haunt us in even more virulent forms. It is probably fair to say that, in the final years of this century, interest in the foundations of quantum mechanics is more widespread, and more intellectually respectable, than at any time since the invention of quantum theory.

Brian Greene
The Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, as laid down by Niels Bohr in the 1930s, has survived intact despite the thousands of experimental tests that have since been performed. Granted, it flies in the face of common sense, stating as it does that you cannot predict with certainty the outcome of any experiment, you can only assign a probability. You cannot simultaneously know the position of a particle and also its velocity. By determining the state of one photon here on Earth, you fix the state of its entangled partner on Alpha Centauri - an action-at-a-distance effect that Einstein called "spooky".
Mysterious world
Yet if Bohr were alive today, he would note with satisfaction that all the developments of 20th-century physics - from the Standard Model of particle physics, superconductivity, quantum computing and teleportation to the inflationary model of Big Bang cosmology - have come about without the need to change his interpretation by one iota.

30. QUANTUM THEORY OF CONSCIOUSNESS©

http://www.erols.com/wcri/CONSCIOUSNESS.html
From the Noetic Journal
EVAN HARRIS WALKER Walker Cancer Research Institute, Inc. 219 West Bel Air Avenue, Aberdeen Maryland 21001 ABSTRACT This paper is a survey of the theory of consciousness that is based on quantum mechanical electron tunneling effects that occur at synaptic clefts. This paper gives the rationale for the introduction of quantum mechanics into the consciousness problem, and shows how this leads to quantitative results in agreement with experiment. INTRODUCTION The problem of the nature of consciousness, the so-called "hard problem" requires for its solution contributions from many disciplines. These involve topics in philosophy, physics, neurophysiology, and psychology, among others. As a result, the quantum theory of consciousness [Walker, 1970] has had to cover a wide range of subjects that have appeared in widely separated publications. These sources of basic material that develop the overall topic have not been adequately brought together so as to show how the several themes fit together. The purpose here is to outline this theory, and show how these themes fit together. THE PHILOSOPHICAL PROBLEM The problem of the nature of consciousness has been the central theme of philosophy for some four centuries. Despite these centuries of effort, little progress has been made. Philosophy has singled out alternatives: "monistic" theories and "dualistic" possibilities, but philosophy has provided no resolution of the basic question about the nature of consciousness. For us today, concerned with the scientific problem of explaining the nature of consciousness, these philosophical options of monism and dualism translate into the possibility that consciousness is either simply an aspect of brain functioning, or that in addition to the brain as such, there is something that is extra-physical, something that is mind-like, over and above the strictly physical nature of the brain.

Why do we need Quantum Theory?
Classical (Newtonian) mechanics works perfectly in explaining the world around us, and is accurate enough for even charting the trajectory of probes sent to Jupiter and beyond. So why are we not content with classical physics? Where does the need for quantum theory arise? Quantum theory unveils a new level of reality, the world of intrinsic uncertainty, a world of possibilities, which is totally absent in classical physics. And this bizarre world of quantum physics not only offers us the most compelling explanation of physical phenomena presently known, but is also one of the most prolific source of modern technologies, providing society with a cornucopia of devices and instruments.

Now a purely particle theory contains nothing that enables us to define a frequency; for this reason alone, therefore, we are compelled, in the case of light, to introduce the idea of a particle and that of frequency simultaneously. On the other hand, determination of the stable motion of electrons in the atom introduces integers, and up to this point the only phenomena involving integers in physics were those of interference and of normal modes of vibration . This fact suggested to me the idea that electrons too could not be considered simply as particles, but that frequency (

36. Quantum Resonance Theory: HOME
A grand unified theory of consciousness, based on mysticism (primarily Kabbalah) and quantum theory.
http://www.xmission.com/~mkeener
Welcome! The abstract below provides a brief introduction to quantum resonance theory. There is more information about the theory on the ESSAYS page. There is also a page about the AUTHOR and a page of interesting LINKS , as well as a discussion board assigned to the topic: DISCUSS QUANTUM RESONANCE THEORY document.write("(" + ct_25_9Kc3 + ") messages");
ABSTRACT 1.2
POSTED 01 APRIL 2004 The quantum resonance is a paradigm of essential aspects inherent in experience (or existence). It is a theory of life; in some sense, it is also a theory of everything. Quantum resonance theory provides some explanation for questions that remain mysterious within more conventional paradigms, such as the origin of life, consciousness, the observable laws of probability, and the nature of subjective experience. The term 'quantum resonance' refers to a collective or unified (quantum) field of consciousness (resonance) that manifests in any perspective, context or identity. Quantum resonances also referred to as self-moments organize themselves as a holarchy comprised of holons. A holon is both a part within a larger whole and a whole comprised of smaller parts. However, quantum resonance theory applies this concept in a novel way: "On the one hand, the self-moment exists as a unique individual within a larger collective; on the other hand, the self-moment also exists as the larger collective within which the individual in question exists." (Quantum resonance theory, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, central tendency and the golden mean, 2000, p. 1).

Quantum Theory Without Observers
February 1999 B happens at time and C at time , then A must have happened at time Inconsistencies can arise if statements relating the probabilities of occurrence of histories are made while referring to different families in the course of a given argument. That is true even if the histories involve only a single time. Goldstein mentions our efforts to understand what is so special about the ``usual'' realm defined by hydrodynamic variables averaged over small volumes and evaluated at short, albeit discrete, intervals of time. However, he seems to think that we start with the union of many different families (with the possibility of inconsistencies in statements connecting the probabilities of occurrence of various histories) and are trying to find conditions that will shrink this set to a single realm and its associated family, thus eliminating inconsistencies. That is not the case. Rather, we are comparing the properties of different realms or families, while restricting our statements in each case to a single family, thus encountering no inconsistencies along the way. It is worth mentioning that the figure caption on the last page of the article is misleading. The photograph shows Richard Feynman and one of us (Gell-Mann), and the caption describes Gell-Mann as ``one of the most sensible critics of orthodox quantum theory'' and Feynman as ``one of its most sensible defenders.'' In fact, both physicists held very similar views of quantum mechanics. Some months before Feynman's death in 1988, Gell-Mann described to a class at Caltech the status of our work on decoherent histories at that time. Feynman was in attendance, and at the end of the class, he stood up, and some of the students expected an exciting argument. But his comment was, ``I agree with everything you said.''

quantum theory quantum theory, modern physical theory concerned with the emission and absorption of energy by matter and with the motion of material particles; the quantum theory and the theory of relativity together form the theoretical basis of modern physics. Just as the theory of relativity assumes importance in the special situation where very large speeds are involved, so the quantum theory is necessary for the special situation where very small quantities are involved, i.e., on the scale of molecules atoms , and elementary particles . Aspects of the quantum theory have provoked vigorous philosophical debates concerning, for example, the uncertainty principle and the statistical nature of all the predictions of the theory.

40. Theories With Problems By Keith Mayes
Examination of theories in physics from the Big Bang to quantum theory, time travel, superluminal speed and Time itself.
http://www.thekeyboard.org.uk
THEORIES WITH PROBLEMS by Keith Mayes Paperback now on sale The Big Bang, Quantum Mechanics, Relativity, Time, Light Speed, Gravity, Electromagnetism, all have their theories that attempt to explain why these things are the way they are. These theories form part of our understanding of the fundamental laws of the universe, but are of course unable to provide all the answers we seek. All theories have problems in that they cannot be proven to be absolutely correct, they do not necessarily accurately describe the way things really are. They are constructed as a working model that is a useful aid to our understanding, of observed phenomenon and as a method of predicting future outcomes. When a theory is found to be wrong, it is either discarded, or as is more generally the case, modified, until it again appears to match the observations. A theory, no matter how well it appears to accurately describe any phenomenon, is provisional, it can never be proven to be completly correct, but it may be proven wrong. It will therefore always be impossible to claim a final theoretical solution to anything. "As being is to becoming, so is truth to belief. If then, Socrates, amid the many opinions about the gods and the generation of the universe, we are not able to give notions which are altogether and in every respect exact and consistent with one another, do not be surprised. Enough if we deduce probabilities as likely as any others; for we must remember that I who am the speaker and you who are the judges are only mortal men". (Plato)
