This is one of the most interesting questions that I would like to have your views shared. Recent experiments in fluid dynamics have shown that the wave-particle duality can manifest at the macroscopic level. These results can be explained in terms of classical physics if the physical entity that represents the fluid satisfies both a classical dynamical equation and a wave equation. We can ask if this can be applied to quantum mechanics. Please refer to my attached paper and my other papers on RG for more details.
Recently, I have been able to formulate quantum structures of elementary particles entirely in terms geometry and topology which are classical formulations in which the Schrodinger wavefunctions can simply fit in as mathematical objects.Please refer to my articles SPACETIME STRUCTURES OF QUANTUM PARTICLES and A DERIVATION OF THE RICCI FLOW for more details.

No. You may think I'm brainwashed but I'm not. Unlike you, I simply understand physics. Please find a different occupation and stop making these ridiculous posts.
Dear Vu,
This question pierce me a long time and few years ago I have found the following answer.
Consider the hypothesis of Louis de Broglie of a wave associated with the electron which has led to the discovery of the wave equations. It leads to extend the notion of continuous to the scale of the interactions between the constituents of the atom. Thus the continuous appears to us always intimately linked to the discontinuous. But it is necessary to keep in mind that the point is a mathematical concept that has no volume and hence no physical reality. The continuous subsequently appears a convenience but one as to keep in mind that material reality remains the discontinuous. It was in noting that light comes to us from atoms, therefore emitted from a finite set of atoms, that Einstein was brought to propose the hypothesis of the photon. Come back then to the symmetry between the motion of a mobile and the propagation of a wave which led de Broglie to associate a wave to the electron; It is also possible to associate a flow of material particles in the wave, for example of light, thus joining the hypothesis of the photon of Einstein. However if the number of photons becomes small, then the support of the continuum which is the wave can no longer interpret interference; one has then to consider the stocking of the photons where the interferences are observed. QED
Take the risk to work in the classical mechanics, you will learn how this shed light on our physics. Yours Xavier
I recommend you to read R.P. Feynman and A.R. Hibbs, Quantum Mechanics and Path Integrals(see also http://web.mit.edu/dvp/www/Work/8.06/dvp-8.06-paper.pdf)
Dear Jeremy,
For fun I put a lid on but you still managed to emerge as the first person to put out your opinion. I understand that you are one of the most devoted people to quantum physics who somehow believe completely in what they have learnt. I can tell you that that is very natural. However, you should know that the type of questions that I have posted are not of my own. Search a bit more then you will find out those famous physicists who raised them. I just repeated what I learnt in very much the same way that you would repeat from what you learnt in quantum physics. It was Feynman who said no one would understand quantum physics, but you say you do. I feel relieved that I am not the only one. Furthermore, even founders of quantum physics had different views on quantum theories but they all were still working as physicists, so why should I change my career because my opinions are different from yours?
Kind regards,
Vu.
Hi All,
After a while, now I know that there are few people in the physics community that I highly regard. Jeremy is the most devoted physicist to quantum theory that I have ever known. I hope he will contribute to the development of quantum physics. Xavier has similar way of thinking about physics to mine. Our thoughts may be different from those of Jeremy, but that's how physics has been developed. And N. K. Zhevago must be an outstanding academic.
Kind regards,
Vu.
Dear All,
I’d like to let you know that I’ve posted a short work entitled AN INTERPRETATION OF WAVE MECHANICS on RG. It is suggested that there is a possibility to interpret wave mechanics as a result of continuous creation and destruction of elementary particles at a quantum scale. It is also suggested that both space and time are quantised at the quantum level. Even though these may be regarded as purely speculative, at least they may provide a way to comprehend the almost incomprehensible, which is the pre-dynamic state of matter, space and time.
Kind regards,
Vu.
Dear Vu,
In the classical corpuscular approach one of the difficulties was that Bohr in his work giving the first step of the interpretation of the quantum state has proposed a simple interpretation of his results on the spectrum of the hydrogen atom. He supposed “that the angular momentum of the electron round the nucleus in a stationary state of the system is equal to an entire multiple of a universal value independent of the charge on the nucleus” Phil. Mag. N°26, 1-25, the citation is on the page 15. As a result it was difficult to modify the hypothesis.
In fact the quantification concern the angular momentum but also the motion of translation giving the sharing of the quantum h into two equal part see “Quantum State, Magnetism and Rotation”. If this hypothesis was suggested before the Louis de Broglie hypothesis, the wave particle duality would have never existed!
Kind regards,
Xavier
Dear Xavier,
What I have described in my works have nothing to do with Bohr's theory. The wave-particle duality is seen as a real physical process which can manifest itself depending on physical environments. Bohr's theory, and wave mechanics, just assumes this property without being able to look into possible physical processes underneath it.
Kind regards,
Vu.
