A Deterministic Quantum Mechanics

In the Imagineer’s article Why is mass quantized? Oct. 4, 2007 it was shown that the observed properties of all particles could be explained and predicted in terms resonant system in continuous non-quantized form of mass.

However, it is also possible to determine the outcome of particle interactions based on the existence of this resonant system.

On pages 59 and 60 of Brian Cregg book “The God Effect” he describes experiments that show how photons interact with different polarizing filters.

In the first experiment, photons in their natural randomized polarization state are passed through a 45-degree polarizer set halfway between the source of the photons and a vertical polarizer.  Observations of this experimental setup show that 50 percent of the photons passing through the 45-degree polarizer pass through the vertical polarizer.

A classical interpretation of this experiment is that a component of the energy associated with the vertically and horizontally polarized photons defined by Pythagoras’ theorem should pass through the 45-degree polarizer.  Therefore, every photon passing through the 45-degree polarizer will have a 50 percent probability of having a vertical or horizontal component.  This means that 50 percent of the photons that passed through the 45-degree polarizer should also pass through the vertical polarizer.

The Quantum mechanical explanation of this is that every photon simultaneously exists in both in the vertical and horizontal polarization at the same time.  Therefore, every photon that passes through the 45-degree polarizer will have an equal or 50 percent probability of passing through the vertical polarizer.

The second part of this experiment involves photons passing through two polarizing screens one vertical and one horizontal.  In this case, 50 percent of the photons pass through the first vertical polarizer and none pass through the second polarizer.

The classical interpretation of this is that the perpendicular orientation of the vertical and horizontal polarizers completely blocks the passage of all photons through the horizontal polarizer.

However, these results contradict the quantum mechanical explanation for why 50 percent of the photons that passed through the 45-degree polarizer passed through the vertical polarizer.  This is because if all photons simultaneously exist in both a vertically and horizontally polarized state, 50 percent of the ones that passed through the vertical polarizer should also pass through the second horizontal polarizer.

In another experiment, if one places a third polarizer between the vertical and horizontal polarizing screens and turns it so that it is 45-degree angle with respect to them, 50 percent of the photons will pass through the first vertical polarizer and 50 percent of those will pass through the 45-degree polarizer while 50 percent of those photons pass the third polarizer.

But if the 45-degree polarizer worked by only letting through vertically or horizontally polarized photons no light should get through the third polarizer because all of the photon entering it were vertically polarized therefore, they should not get through the third horizontally polarized screen.

Again, the Quantum mechanical explanation for this is each photon that was vertically polarized when entering the 45-degree polarizer exists in both states (vertical and horizontal polarization) when leaving it.  Therefore the photons that passed through the first vertical polarizer have and 50 percent probability of being either vertically or horizontally polarized after passing through the 45-degree polarizing screen and therefore they will have a 50 percent chance of passing through the final horizontal polarizer.

However, Quantum mechanics cannot provide a consistent explanation why photons that pass through a vertical polarizer in the second experiment existed only in a vertical state while those same photons after passing through a 45-degree polarizer exists in both a vertical and horizontal state.

In the article  Why is mass quantized? Oct. 4, 2007 it was shown the properties of all particles including a photon are the result of a resonant system or “structure” established in four *spatial* dimensions by a matter wave moving in three-dimensional space.

However, this also means that the matter wave responsible for generating the resonant system associated with a photon can have amplitude variations along each axis of three-dimensional space.

Therefore, it would be possible for photons that were vertically polarized after passing through a vertical polarizer to have there polarization shifted as they passed through a 45-degree polarizer.  This shift could be caused by the reflection or interference of the wave properties of photons as they encounter the 45-degree polarizer.

However as was shown earlier photons that pass through a 45-degree polarizes will have both a vertically and horizontally polarized a component defined by Pythagoras’ theorem.  Therefore, every photon passing through the 45-degree polarizer will have a 50 percent probability of having a vertical or horizontal component.  This means that 50 percent of the photons that passed through the 45-degree filter should also pass through the vertical polarizer.

This does not mean the photons that pass through the 45-degree polarizer exits simultaneously in both a horizontal and virtual state at the same time it means that the angle of their energy vectors has a component in both the vertical and horizontal plains.

Therefore, the 50 percent of the photons leaving the 45-degree polarizer will have a horizontal polarization component while 50 percent will have a vertical polarization component so 50 percent of the photon leaving the 45-degree polarizer will pass through the third vertical polarizing filter.

(This shifting would not occur when vertically polarized photons encountered the horizontal polarized screen in the earlier experiment because, as mentioned earlier the particle properties of a photon are the result of a resonant structure established by a matter wave moving in three-dimensional space.  Therefore, the refection or interference of the matter wave responsible for their particle properties would be 180 degrees out of phase and would cancel.  However, the interference of matter wave of the vertically polarized photon with a 45-degree polarizer would not cancel because of the angle it makes with its wave front.  This interference would cause a shifting in the orientation of the matter wave responsible for the particle properties of the photon.  It would allow its wave energy to pass through the 45-degree polarizer and reestablish the resonant “structure” on the other side of the polarizer.  Additionally due to the resonant properties of the matter wave, the energy of a photon emerging from the 45 degree polarizer would have to be identical to the ones entering it.)

would allow its wave energy to pass through the 45-degree polarizer and reestablish the resonant “structure” on the other side of the polarizer.  Additionally due to the resonant properties of the matter wave the energy of a photon emerging from the 45 degree polarizer would have to be identical to the ones entering it. )

By defining a photon in terms of a resonant system generated by a matter wave in four *spatial* dimensions allows one to define a deterministic mechanism that can define the interactions of photons with a polarizing environment.

This also shows that there is a logical and consistent physical explanation for these interactions other than the indeterminism of quantum probabilities.
