Abstract
In order to understand atomic and molecular interactions, one has to learn how to live with the wave-particle duality, considering classical nuclei and quantum electrons. A better way, illustrated here by reference to experiments, is by quasiclassical (or semiclassical) mechanics, governing a world with a quasi-zero Planck’s constant. One thus explains optical analogs (shadows, rainbows, glories) as interference effects in atomic collisions. Reference is also made to Wheeler’s “black bird” on the inversion problem from spectroscopy and scattering to molecular structure. The pape concludes outlining a journey in the hyperspace to escape from Einstein’s torus and to find interferences and resonances in thre body scattering and reactions.
