Why Even Bother
by
It continues to amaze me that students of physics hold on so tight to the concepts of quantum mechanics. Many of its founding fathers abandoned it. Some, such as Irwin Schrodinger, Albert Einstein, and others actually hated it and warned of being misled by its concepts. Nature screams out with its reality; yet, those smitten with Quantumania ignore nature's indicators.
If the consequences of such deliberate ignorance of nature's construct were
not so grave, we could just ignore the physics community and let them dream
Although Albert Einstein was a major critic of Quantum Mechanics, I hold him largely responsible for its false acceptance. When Einstein-Minkowski Spacetime was accepted, we lost the main indicator of nature's construct. By accepting Einstein's version of Spacetime, the true logical path to nature's construct is lost. Before the acceptance of Einstein-Minkowski Spacetime, the phenomena of relativity was logically explained by assuming that the final irreducible constituent of all physical reality was the electromagnetic field. At the turn of the twentieth century, most scientists reasoned that this was the final fact of nature. Henry Poincare, Hendric Antoon Lorentz, and George FitzGerald wrote out the equations that described the contortions of massive objects due to movement. The postulate that demanded the equations was that: "the final irreducible constituent of all physical reality is the electromagnetic field." And as was generally known at the time, space and time were fixed in the classical sense. All of the distortions of relativity phenomena were due to distortions of the objects themselves and not of space and time. The distortions happened because the objects consisted only of constituents that must move at the invariant speed of light. We must remember that the experimental results known at the time produced only a small portion of the phenomena that the Lorentz Equations predicted. It was only by forcing reality to fit that postulate that these great thinkers could produce the equations that described relativity phenomena. These equations passed all tests of the last hundred years. They show the cause of the phenomena of relativity. The cause is that the final irreducible constituent of all physical reality moves at the constant speed of light in flat Spacetime. After the acceptance of Einstein-Minkowski Spacetime, relativity phenomena could be attributed to a variance in space and time itself. The variance was not limited to to the distortions of massive objects as it was with the Lorentz-FitzGerald explanation. Thus, Einstein produced the concept that condemned physical science to suffer through this period of dark ages that we call the Quantumania times. During these times no great discoveries are possible. Physical science has lost its way. So we hope here to put forward the true facts of nature. Anyone not afflicted with Quantumania can see the logic that forces the true concepts just as did Lorentz, Fitzgerald, Poincare, and Ziegler. Einstein, though not afflicted with Quantumania, still did not get it because he allowed himself to be consumed by Minkowski's four manifold Spacetime.
