The quantum reality is so weird as
compared to the ordinary classical pictures that hardly anybody talks openly
about its very existence. For most physicists the mathematical formalism of
such quantum mechanics that talks.
Most physicists, who look at the
quantum particles' behavior, think that they are dealing with rigid body
mechanics. They are all wrong. The
quantum mechanics is closer to fluid mechanics rather than the rigid body
mechanics. Just as in fluid mechanics, we are dealing with a continuum rather
than a single particle, and therefore, there is no need to keep track of
individual particles.
In quantum mechanics, one should not
pose a question like: "What is the position in the space of a [quantum]
particle as a function of time?" Rather, it is more appropriate to
ask: “At some point in space what is the velocity, acceleration, and
thermodynamic properties at that point in space as a function of time?” The
mathematical model used to describe such mechanics is called Eulerian as
opposed to Lagrangian which is used to keep track of an individual particle as
in rigid body dynamics1.
It should be noted, however, that in
quantum mechanics we are not dealing with a movement in bulk but on the surface
of the fluid (Figure-1A). We recall that the real world we live in could be
modeled as a 3-hypersurface or more precisely a hyper-interface located in
between two oceans of the opposing energies (Figure-1B).
At such surface, all of the quantum particles movements are up and down just like the movement of particles in the individual water wave propagating along the surface of a still pond. The up and down motions are the projection of the quantum circular movements whose circumference equal to quantum action, Planck number (h), and whose radius is equal to Dirac's Planck number.
So, there is no such a quantum particle
flies forward as a bullet does. What physicists perceive as a single quantum
particle enduring in time [regardless whether it is moving or in rest] is, in
fact, different ephemeral particles successively appearing and disappearing as
time passes by.
To give a clear picture of this
phenomenon, let us cite a child story about the imbalanced race between the
deer and snails. Here is the excerpt: in
the middle of the jungle there lived a smart deer that had defeated all
but some of the inhabitants. It happened
that in the darkness of twilight the deer was unintentionally about to step on
a snail unseen behind the grasses. The angry little creature challenged him to
race by the following day, which the deer confidently accepted.
During the night, the petite snail
coordinated hundreds of his friends to stand in line under-covered behind the
grasses along the racing path. As the race progressed, the deer was
wondering about the position of his rival and shouted: “Hello dear friend,
where are you?” The snail which stood just in front of him responded: “I am
here.” The deer was bewildered and so repeatedly monitored from time to time up
to the final point. After that, he was always agitated as nobody told him about
the secret of the presence of so many snails that he had thought as a single
one.
Another but much more old metaphor
on the quantum reality teaches us about the universe which resembles a gigantic
flame of a candle. Like the flame, the world is always changing and never be
the same at any instant of time. The whole world and all its contents are
perpetually created and annihilated. As in Galilean dynamics, we may interpret that the physical space
evaporates completely as one moment passes, and reappears as a completely
different space as the next moment arrives2.
Finally, we come to a more detail subject which combines the
phenomena of hydrodynamics with electromagnetism. As the wave is propagating
between two oceans of the positive and negative energies, we deal with some
sorts of magnetohydrodynamics which takes into account the interaction of
electrically conducting fluids and electromagnetic fields (Figure-3).
The perpetual creation and annihilation of quantum particle
and its anti-particle, as well as the classical fields, is the result of some
sorts of interactions of quantum fields and the hyper-interface (brane). The
interplay between that two opposite "electrically" conducting fluids generates the quantum
fields.
The result is that we get a sort of cosmic motion picture
where the images are projected on a gigantic screen (3-brane) in which the
images perpetually appear and disappear altogether with the screen at the rate
of 1044 images per second. The projected images stand for the whole
content of the universe: planets, stars, galaxies, super-galaxies, a cluster of
galaxies and so forth.
