Preamble: My proposal about a "True" Quantum Theory, as can be
found in my thesis, complies with all the requirements Prof. Zeilinger has
outlined in his 1996 paper for a "sensible" Quantum Theory. I shall start from
the end of his paper and identify the basic point missed by QT as Rabi wonders
about (Comment 20): What I advance is indeed a point which has been glaring at
us for centuries: SPACE IS NOT AN ARENA! (Einstein reminded us of that idea one
year before his death) - In all its formulations QT has taken space as a given,
not connected at all with its content, including the Special Relativity version
introduced by Dirac all the way to String Theory. This basic point must be
qualified by the idea identified by Pauli (Comments 2 and 21), that we may be in
an "anima mundi", a world in motion: As Feynman saw in recent years, everything
in our world must go at the speed of light, there is no such thing as "rest" of
one object versus another one. I advance that we only see the shadows of the
ephemerous associations of EOR's which occur in higher dimensions, and such a
narrow vista leads us to the wrong conclusions, the conclusions we draw from
present Quantum Theory.
| Comment #1: The statistical character of QT is a fundamental principle
because our world is made out of unseparable eternal entities (the EOR's
or monads) which create and maintain our space while continually
discovering the future via an infinite parallel computation. Right now we
do not have the mathematics to deal with the unseparable, that's why we
had to use a statistical formalism. We can only see this computation as a
statistical process even though it is deterministic, being an infinite
continuous parallel computation made consistent by continually creating
a space canvas of relations all at the speed of light. The "dissection
into constituent parts" is impossible since our world is essentially
unseparable. We get a glimpse at some of the separated parts under the
form of shadows called "elementary particles" thanks to the bounded
manifolds we call nuclei of atoms that must exist within a 3 times 3D
evolution of otherwise unbounded and unseparable EOR's (the e-m
"field"). All the variational principles come from the adaptive
nature of the infinite parallel computations: We do not see the
"unsuccessful" computation results that fail to maintain our space in
order to continue on to create the infinite future of our world.
Formalisms such as the Feynman path integral automatically disregard such
results by assuming space as an arena.
|
| Comment #2: We are ourselves made out of eternal EOR's or monads in a
world constantly in motion ("anima mundi") going always and all at the
speed of light. The Principle of Relativity comes from this
fundamental nature of our Reality, including the space we are in that we
mistook for a mathematical concept. Space is as real as fire and the other
3 elements of the Ancient Greeks.
|
| Comment #3: We are classical animals due to the vast number of bounded
elements (atomic nuclei) we are made of. Our instruments are of that same
sort. We are "separated" entities (classical) within an unseparable world
(the quantum).
|
| Comment #4: The "quantum phenomenon" is the act of separation from
the unseparable. It occurs continually creating the classical world we
see. It does not need us and our instruments to exist.
|
| Comment #5: The "observer" is the instrument we use, not us! The
instrument selects which kind of separation is made, not us, we
merely select the instrument itself, which we can distinguish since
already separated. We ARE hidden spectators once we have selected the
instrument. The instrument is NOT an extension of ourselves, it has an
objective (classical) existence separate from us, an existence we
classically manipulate as a separate object like we are. Ourselves are
unseparated holistic quantum entities who can identify the separated
world parts due to our internal self-recognizing unseparable
uncollapsing quantum evolution and manipulate the external objects in
their separated ways. Only humans can do that meaningful
recognition due to their self-awareness, they can think.
|
| Comment #6: Bohr recognized the difference between the instrument (the
true observer) and the other separated entity deciding on the instrument
function, the human (free will).
|
| Comment #7: QT has no meaningful basis since it does not consider
space as built by its content.
|
| Comment #8: QT is an attempt at seeing the unseparable world from a
separated world. Since this unseparated world contains the
separated (classical) world, QT cannot make sense.
|
| Comment #9: The quantum of action comes from the fact everything goes
at the speed of light. There is only one way to create content manifolds
from EOR monadic relations all rotating at the speed of light.
|
| Comment #10: The numerical value of the quantum of action is computed
with the mass of the "elementary particles" to adjust to the pre-existing
scale of our world. Such a value is found again and again in galaxies
active nuclei products knowing that pre-existing scale of our eternal
universe.
|
| Comment #11: See Comment #9.
|
| Comment #12: The "complex roots of probabilities" result from a
process in higher dimensions perceived as a projection on our space. Waves
are projections of manifold rotations in higher dimensions.
|
| Comment #13: If separation has already been done then we are dealing
with manipulation of shadows in our space, therefore normal probabilities
need to be used.
|
| Comment #14: The "observer" is the instrument. By its physical
arrangement containing nuclei in a definite separated location, it will be
capable of separating the unseparable in certain ways and not in others.
|
| Comment #15: Interference phenomena occur when the instrument (the
true "observer") cannot separate a single possible outcome of the
unseparable evolution.
|
| Comment #16: The instrument selects the kind of outcome, not
the outcome.
|
| Comment #17: The instrument cannot select a given outcome since an
infinite evolution of EOR's is being separated by that already separated
entity, the instrument.
|
| Comment #18: The kind of outcome is selectable by the observer (the
instrument - a separated object), not the outcome itself (see above). The
instrument needs not be in a single location - if non-local the instrument
selects a global outcome for the EOR collective associations called quanta
that it is set to observe.
|
| Comment #19: Holistic phenomena non-local in our space require a
higher dimensionality for the EOR's associations we call quanta. My theory
deals with 3 times 3D monadic relations which form manifolds in higher
dimensions separated by a non-local separated apparatus. The
unseparable manifolds form a whole themselves, and thus are not
"non-local," only holistic. Non-locality only applies to separated objects
doing the separation, not what they "observe."
|
| Comment #20: See introductory paragraph.
|
| Comment #21: Pauli is the only one who had a feel we were dealing with
a world in motion all at the same speed and we were experiencing only its
shadows.
