wlad Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 In my book “Os Dados que Deus Escondeu” (The Dice God Hid) published in 2003 in Brazil, in the Introduction it is explained why the atom model of Quantum Mechanics violates the causality. Advertising link removed Let me give a little idea why there is violation of the causality. According to QM the atom emits photons when the electron changes its position from a level to another. The electron can, for instance, to go from n=1 to n=2, or from n=2 to n=4, or from n=1 to n=3, or from n=4 to n=1, etc. But there is not, in QM, any cause responsible for some specific sequence. For instance, why sometimes does the electron go from n=1 to n=2, and sometimes it goes from n=1 to n=4? From the theory there is no way to find the physical cause for the reason why, from a starting point at the same initial level n=1, sometimes the electron goes to n=2, sometimes it goes to n=3, and sometimes it goes to n=4. Bohr proposed the selection rules so that to describe that “statistical” behavior of the electron. However it is only a mathematical description. The cause of the sequence of the jumpings is not pointed out. Suppose some atom A has the following sequence of six jumpings:1) From n=1 to n=32) From n=3 to n=23) From n=2 to n=44) From n=4 to n=25) From n=2 to n=36) From n=3 to n=17) … and the sequence is ended, and it starts again, and it is repeated again, and again, and again… What the cause of such a sequence is? As Quantum Mechanics works via statistical laws, we dont have to expect any specific sequence when the electron moves from a level to another. According to the model of Quantum Mechanics, the sequence would have to be chaotic, and never repeated again. However, we know from experiments that, for the atom A considered above, the sequence is repeated indefinitely forever. Suppose we take a die, and in the first of its side we write 1, in the second side we write 2, and so one, til to write 6 in the sixth side. If we start to throw the die, it will give a random sequence of extractions, for instance as follows: 5-3-5-2-1-4-3-6-6-4-2-1-5-4-3-6-2-6-4-5-… There is not any repetition in the sequence. This is just the sequence which the model of the atom A, according to Quantum Mechanics, had to have. Suppose that we want to build a die able to give the following sequence:1) first extraction = 12) second extraction = 33) third extraction = 24) fourth extaction = 45) Fifth extraction = 26) sixth extraction = 37) seventh extraction = 1… , and so we realize that it is the sequence of emission of photons by the atom A. Continuing to throw the die, it will repeat again the same sequence, and the sequence is never stopped. How can we do it? Well, we can to get it, for instance, by installing an apparatus within the die (with springs and an iron sphere moving within channels), so that it will follow the wished sequence. QUESTION: What is the difference of such die and the atom model of Quantum Mechanics? RESPONSE: The difference is because while the die has a physical device responsible for the extractions always in the same sequence , unlike the atom model of Quantum Mechanics has not any physical device capable to produce always the same sequence of photons emission observed in the experiments. So, Quantum Mechanics is phantasmagoric. It works without physical causes.

Energy of photon (E=h*f) defines to which level electron will be able to go. f.e.

It works without physical causes. Do you even know how these results are obtained in lab? By ionization of gas in tube by high voltage, then passing it through prism, and then after zooming to screen. If you send photon with specific energy, you will excite atom(s) to specific maximum level. Excited electrons in atom will emit photons. Some photons might be absorbed by other atoms, and new photons emitted. Excited electron might not be able to return to initial level, because it's already taken by other electron (after emitting other photon with different energy). They will swap their "locations". Cause is high voltage. You can build your own spectral lines tube using f.e. glass test tube and fill it by Hydrogen, Oxygen from electrolysis. And connect it to Cockcroft-Walton generator. And see it on your own eyes. Search on eBay for "discharge tube" or "spectral line tube" f.e. http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Spectrum-Discharge-Tube-x-2-Spectrum-Analysis-Gas-Spectrum-Tube-set-of-2-/171435386822 $45 for two tubes is good price IMHO.

This postulate stirred debate in quantum mechanics, But real-time tracking of a quantum system shows that it’s a continuous process, and that we can constantly extract information from the system as it goes from quantum to classical. This level of detail was never considered accessible by the original founders of quantum theory.” http://newscenter.berkeley.edu/2014/07/30/watching-schrodingers-cat-die/ On 8/30/2014 at 11:16 PM, Sensei said: If you send photon with specific energy, you will excite atom(s) to specific maximum level.

It means we will have free proton and free electron not bound together. 13.6 eV * 1.602*10^-19 = 2.17872E-018 J * 6.022141e23 mol^-1 = 1312056 J/mol = 1312 kJ/mol And such value you can see on element's ionization table f.e. here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionization_energies_of_the_elements_(data_page) That's energy needed to make plasma from the all Hydrogens in 1 mole of particles. On 8/31/2014 at 2:22 PM, wlad said: The absorption spectrum shows that a photons emitted in a level has always the same wavelenght of the photon absorbed in that level. Once particle is proceeding other particle, thus photon emitted will be blue shifted, and other time it's receding other particle, thus photon emitted will be red shifted and won't be able to be absorbed by that 2nd particle. It's relativistic Doppler shift. This is what makes spectrum lines wider. The faster particles are moving the wider spectral line.

If you send beam of photons with E = 12.75 eV to Hydrogen, you will receive photons with E=10.2 eV and E=2.55 eV If you send beam of photons with E = 13.6 eV to Hydrogen, you will receive photons with E=10.2 eV, E=2.55 eV, E=1.88 eV, and many many others that you can calculate by yourself using above equation.
