We describe and analyze a new formulation of Bohmian mechanics—the deterministic theory of particles in motion that emerges from Schrödinger’s equation for a system of particles when we merely insist that “particles” means particles. This mechanics resolves all paradoxes associated with the measurement problem in nonrelativistic quantum mechanics. It accounts for quantum randomness, absolute un...

Relativity theory, formulated in great part by one person, Albert Einstein [1], is founded on the concept of ‘event’, which is a concept that is physically well defined and understood [2]. Within relativity theory itself, the events are represented by the points of a four dimensional space-time continuum. In this way, relativity theory has a well defined physical and mathematical base. The deve...

This chapter gives a brief introduction to quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics can be thought of roughly as the study of physics on very small length scales, although there are also certain macroscopic systems it directly applies to. The descriptor “quantum” arises because in contrast with classical mechanics, certain quantities take on only discrete values. However, some quantities still take...

A phonon often is described as ‘‘a quantum of lattice vibration,’’ but this description can be difficult to reconcile with the wave functions explored in a typical undergraduate quantum mechanics class. A phonon wave function is similar to the harmonic oscillator wave functions studied in introductory quantum mechanics, except that it is many-dimensional. We suggest a way to visualize the proba...

It is proved the mathematical theorem, that the wave function describes the statistical ensemble of particles, but not a single particle. Supposition, that the wave function describes a single particle appears to be incompatible with formalism of quantum mechanics. Interest to interpretation of quantum mechanics was very large from the very beginning of the quantum mechanics creation up to now....
