The relation between consciousness and physical world is a great mystery. We know from quantum mechanics and special relativity that conscious observer plays an active role in forming the objective reality as we know it. However, the mechanism of this role remains obscure. Evan Harris Walker ⁷³ postulates that,

 

 

Underneath, I am suggesting a mechanism for this mysterious effect.

 

 

Electron by definition is point like (has no volume). In classical physics definition, the energy associate with its electrostatic field increases as we get closer to it and the energy turn to infinity when the distance vanishes. However, we do not face infinity inside space-time. Here, mass/energy equivalence ( E = mc² ) comes to rescue. The theory of special relativity suggests that as distance decreases and energy gets equal to 2mc² of mass of the electron, a pair of electron/positron is formed that consumes the extra energy. Of course In closer distances energy is much more. But not to worry, infinite number of electron/positron can be formed, so that we end up with energy of just one electron. The conclusion, electron is made of a seed with heavy blanket of infinite positrons and another heavy dressing of infinite electrons on top. Infinite electrons and positrons need infinite space. What are we going to do now? Here again re- normalization comes to rescue. The gigantic electron is not observed. This situation is not normal , then we close our eyes and renormalize the results. We ignore such a blanket altogether.

 

Is it not easier to accept that electron is exposed to an entity with infinite energy in smaller scales? Is it not easier to attribute the huge energy of electron field to this entity. Here is a model to introduce this entity to the equation?

 

Revisiting Wave/Particle duality

 

Wave function of particles was introduced as a model to describe the puzzle of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. The Uncertainty Principal claims that we cannot be certain about the location and momentum of a particle simultaneously.

The concept simply maintains that objects have particle-like and wave-like properties at the same time. Different models were introduced to explain this paradoxical concept. Max Born postulated that wave function does not represent an actual wave but the probability of finding a particle in a particular place. Another postulate describes the wave function as packet of waves that represent the object. There is another explanation called pilot wave model. It was originally introduced by Louis de Broglie and further developed by David Bohm. It proposes that there is no duality, rather particles are guided by a pilot wave. In this chapter I adopt the above model and take wave function as the actual motion of a particle along a modified sin wave.

 

Therefore, this model is in line with David Bohm’s model where particles in space-time have well defined positions and trajectories at every instant . However, here their trajectory in space-time is interrupted and periodically hit the non-local singularity as they travel along the wavelengths.

 

While looking at the wave function from a mathematical point of view, Roger Penrose indicates:   “You cannot explain the wave like nature of quantum particles in term of probability waves of alternatives. They are complex waves of alternatives!” ⁵
