Radical Edward Posted January 25, 2003 Posted January 25, 2003 when one looks at quantum and classical logic, there are a number of notable differences, and the two don't really seem to match. does anyone have any thoughts on why, and what the problems are with existing theory?
fafalone Posted January 25, 2003 Posted January 25, 2003 We've got to be overloooking some simple governing rules for particles, I strongly doubt the ultimate answer is impossibly complex like current equations indicate.
Radical Edward Posted January 25, 2003 Author Posted January 25, 2003 are you implying the whole of QM is going to need a rehash?
fafalone Posted January 25, 2003 Posted January 25, 2003 I am. Right now it's great at describing effects, but the true solutions will explain how the effects come about.
Radical Edward Posted January 25, 2003 Author Posted January 25, 2003 perhaps, in essence current QM will be a simplification, or set of results of whatever the true theory is... the problem then goes back to an old thread I started about Godels theorem, could it be that any proof of how things work is actually forbidden

I mean, besides Mathematics? Are there any other forms of logic? Besides mathematics?

No doubt the biggest problem facing QM is the necessity to renormalise QED equations. Once that's fixed we'll see the two theories merge through the establishment of a Quantum Theory of Gravity. QM doesn't need an overhaul it just needs a bit of work and a breakthrough.
T_FLeX Posted March 4, 2003 Posted March 4, 2003 Originally posted by Radical Edward are you implying the whole of QM is going to need a rehash? In my opinion QM is not really complete. Just like Newton and his Universal theory of gravity, he laid the ground rules of what happens, but he left it up to his readers to determine what makes it happen, up until Einstein came along and solved that one. From what I understand we have formulas that predict quantum mechanical outcomes with precise accuracy, but we are not absolutely sure of why it happens.
