Abstract

This paper points out the incompleteness of the traditional quantum mechanics and relativity, which is embodied in space-time domains of definition, not in physical quantities for description. The real time and space are not continuous. The phenomena called “ghost-like long-range action” by Einstein in fact occur in the time discontinuity points, that is, Time Quantum Worm Holes put forward by Hawking. This paper also gives an essential difference between the macroscopic random motion and the microscopic random motion, which is critical for understanding wave-particle duality.

Highlights

  • In 1960s, American physicist Feynman said a famous saying: “I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics.” Half a century later, about what is wave-particle duality, what is Schrödinger cat, what is single photon interference, what is Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) paradox, what is quantum entanglement and so on, no one throughout the world can explain clearly, even though they have already been confirmed in experiments

  • It is well known that since the birth of relativity and quantum mechanics there has been being a fundamental contradiction: Einstein’s theory of relativity asserts that the speed of motion of any matter in the universe has an upper limit, which is the speed of light; while quantum mechanics implies that the faster-than-light behaviors of microscopic particles are very common

  • Rosen raised questions about quantum mechanics in their article titled “Can Quantum-Mechanical Description of Physical Reality Be Considered Complete?” [2], which is famous in the world and called EPR paradox

Summary

INTRODUCTION

In 1960s, American physicist Feynman said a famous saying: “I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics.” Half a century later, about what is wave-particle duality, what is Schrödinger cat, what is single photon interference, what is Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) paradox, what is quantum entanglement and so on, no one throughout the world can explain clearly, even though they have already been confirmed in experiments. Rosen raised questions about quantum mechanics in their article titled “Can Quantum-Mechanical Description of Physical Reality Be Considered Complete?” [2], which is famous in the world and called EPR paradox. Einstein found the incompleteness of quantum mechanics; he never thought of that the incompleteness of quantum mechanics results from the incompleteness of the theory of relativity. He mistakenly assumed that there might be lack of a hidden variable for description in quantum mechanics. The traditional theory of relativity and quantum mechanics are defined in measurable continuous spacetime domain, while immeasurable discontinuity points exist in the real space-time domain. The incompleteness of the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics just occurs at these space-time discontinuity points
