A Serious Challenge to Quantum Mechanics, Part 3, Theory

In his three-part Serious Challenge to Quantum Mechanics, Eric will emphasize his theory, which extends Planck's second theory of 1911. Planck understood continuous absorption and quantized emission in his black body derivation. Planck 1911 had his action constant h as a maximum of action in material oscillators (not light). This idea was explored by Sommerfeld, Debye, Millikan, and others, but only for light. The more challenging issue is to explain the wave property of matter, such as electron diffraction, without resorting to the quantum mechanical probability wave. Here, you will see original derivations of the de Broglie matter-wave equation, photoelectric effect, Compton effect, and others with waves instead of particles. However, there were still these m's h's and e's in the equations that smack of quantization. Please realize that as soon as we see particle and wave terms in the same equation, we face the measurement problem. The solution is to apply Planck's action-threshold idea to charge and mass. Here, we recognize that the equations of experiments that relate to wave properties all have simple ratios like e/m, e/h, and h/m. Those experiments tell us that, in free space, only those ratios remain quantized. This way, properties of the matter-wave can transmit its identity and cause a threshold effect that gives the illusion of a particle crash landing. This theory predicts that the one-way-or-the-other effect at a beam-splitter was a false interpretation of past experiments. Those experiments were not designed to reveal a threshold model. Eric's earlier lectures describe his gamma-split and alpha-split experiments, revealing the unquantum effect of his threshold model.
