Milo Wolff : A View from Quantum Theory


See "Quantum Science Corner" at  http://members.tripod.com/~mwolff/

The Quantum Science Corner has articles that match the goal of the articles shown here.  The articles present an interpretation of physics that agrees with present physics theories, but in such a way that encourages an alternate approach in modeling the universe.  The basic difference is that Wolff starts out with Quantum theory.  The articles presented here tend to focus on curvature of space-time.   Even with the different approaches, a number of common conclusions are encountered.  The Wolff article "The World of Hans Tetrode and EPR explained" is a similar presentation to Rutkiewicz "Bell's Inequality, EPR Paradox".  The conclusions for both are the similar... events are connected from what is considered the present into most would call the past. With Wolff presenting a Quantum theory view and Rutkiewicz  presenting it as a Special Relativity effect.

There is use of Mach's principle in both sets of articles and papers.  Wolff also uses the momentum 4 vector, E2 = p2c2 + mo2c4.  Though Wolff uses it to present a model for spin.  This model is directly attributed to P.A.M. Dirac who first calculated the Quantum Theory for an electron and predicted spin and the positron.  There is a nice a presentation on spinors and a reference to Misner, Thorne, Wheeler's "Gravitation" for a view of spin. This last is mentioned as the presentation of spin by Rutkiewicz is of curved spacetime, which seems would have had the reference to "Gravitation".  This connection was missed since Spherical Rotation is hard to envision when a model of microspace suppresses one's view of two of the normal space dimensions.    

From what I read of Wolff, the two views are not only compatible but also are complements of each other.  This is compared to the dissonance between physics two great and correct theories: General Relativity and The Standard Model for particles.  They are correct in that they predict correct numbers for the large and the small, respectively.  They are incompatible only when the physics for the large are applied to the small and the quantum theory to gravitation.
