Description for The Chemistry of Matter Waves
Hardback. The quantum and relativity theories are considered to underpin all of science. This monograph argues against this premise on the basis of the incompatibility of the two theories and on some untenable philosophical implications of the quantum model. Num Pages: 243 pages, 9 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PHU; PHVG; PNR. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 15. Weight in Grams: 555.
The quantum and relativity theories of physics are considered to underpin all of science in an absolute sense. This monograph argues against this proposition primarily on the basis of the two theories' incompatibility and of some untenable philosophical implications of the quantum model. Elementary matter is assumed in both theories to occur as zero-dimensional point particles. In relativity theory this requires the space-like region of the underlying Minkowski space-time to be rejected as unphysical, despite its precise mathematical characterization. In quantum theory it leads to an incomprehensible interpretation of the wave nature of matter in terms of a probability function ... Read more
