In 1905, Einstein presented his theory of special relativity, based on the constancy of the speed of light, C, simply to comply with the Michelson-Morley experiment for measuring the speed of light by interference.
In 2022 the author presented a concrete reformulation of Einstein's derivation of the theory of special relativity [1].
The author replaced Einstein's assumption of the constancy of the speed of light, which had no physical meaning, with his own hypothesis that C^2 is a universal constant, the conversion constant for mass and energy equivalence,
E=mC^2.
Furthermore, the author provided conclusive proof of Einstein's theory of special relativity without the need for the questionable light sphere.
The theory of relativity, both special and general, is the work of a single man, while the theory of quantum mechanics is presented by too many physicists and mathematicians, which makes it more chaotic and more resistant to reform.
By the end of the nineteenth century, physicists and mathematicians were unable to explain the observed spectrum of blackbody radiation, which had already been accurately measured.
The Wien and Rayleigh-Jeans laws were disastrous in their numerical results and arbitrary conclusions.
In a reverse engineering attempt to derive a suitable theory of blackbody radiation, Max Planck proposed his assumption about the energy of the oscillators in a blackbody box E=n h f with n = 1, 2, 3,... infinite.
Energy is quantified as an integer multiple of h which is calculated from Wiens' law or Planck's law,
Planck's blackbody radiation law is parameterized by kB, T, C, and h, where T is the classical temperature, kB is the Boltzmann constant, h is the Planck constant, and c is the speed of light in the medium, whether matter or vacuum.
This means that Planck's law is half classical and half quantum.
In 1927, E. Schrödinger, with the help of Einstein, formulated his mathematical, rather than physical, equation:
i h dΨ/dt)partial=-h2/2m . Nabla^2 Ψ+ V Ψ . . . . (1)
OR,
H^Ψ = EΨ. . . . . reduced form
The wave function Ψ itself is neither a scalar, nor a vector, nor a tensor. It has never been properly defined. .
In 2022, 2023 [2,3] the author claimed replacing the classical Schrodinger equation 1 by its square Ψ^2, which is logical and physical.
Since Ψ^2 is necessary to express the quantum energy density, the modern Schrödinger equation 2 must have the form of the famous energy density diffusion PDE:
dU/dt )partial = D. Nabla2U+S(U) . . . . (2)
What is the required reformulation or correction of the Schrödinger partial differential equation.
Equation 2 can be easily solved numerically with the help of advanced artificial intelligence proposed by the author.
In short, we are talking about or facing relativity without relativity, and quantum mechanics without quantum mechanics, especially in the West.
The West is losing the battle over relativity and quantum mechanics.
