Light of speed and Quantum Mechanics

The speed of light is greater than 299,792 kilometers per second, probably far greater than this number.

What is the speed of light？We don’t know

The speed of light we observe is the speed of electromagnetic waves

The reason we observe the speed of light as this speed, is because our observation methods are based on electromagnetic waves and electromagnetic forces.

Because the electromagnetic wave method can only observe the speed of the electromagnetic  wave at most, any speed higher than the speed of the electromagnetic  wave is treated as the speed of the electromagnetic wave. Therefore, in the Michelson-Morley experiment, the "speed of light" is the same at 299,792 kilometers per second regardless of the direction of the test.

The speed of light in Maxwell's equation is also the highest speed of electromagnetic waves. However, because it is very close to the "measured speed of light", this speed is called the speed of light.

Light waves have the characteristics of electromagnetic waves, but there are also places that are different from electromagnetic waves, so it cannot be said that light is electromagnetic waves, otherwise the speed of electromagnetic waves is the speed of light.

Anyway, the speed of light is "artificially" set to  the speed of electromagnetic waves.

This "artificial" setting made us uncomfortable about "quantum mechanics". why? Because if the speed of light exceeds the speed of electromagnetic waves, the phenomenon of quantum mechanics is normal.

This is discussed in Andrzej Dragan's article in the New Physics Magazine in March 2020. He seems to just say that if there is a speed higher than the speed of light, quantum phenomena can be seen. What I'm talking about here is that the speed of light is really faster than "the speed of light" we know,  because the speed that light exceeds is the speed of electromagnetic waves.

I want to confirm this point with that article: faster than speed of light does not affect the basic idea of ​​special relativity. The special theory of relativity is correct, but there is no need to assume that the speed of light is this "artificial" speed of light. The special theory of relativity requires an assumption: "There can be a speed in space-time that satisfies the principle of relativity that does not change with the change of the reference system." (I have reservation about thism but it is not a big deal. The speed of light is so large, no matter what it is, it will not affect the conclusion of the special theory of relativity.)

Will such "super speed of light" affect quantum field theory? will not. The Dirac equation only uses Lorentz covariance, and does not need the true speed of light. At most, the artificial "speed of light", that is, the speed of electromagnetic waves.

But this "artificial speed of light" leads us to think that the phenomenon of quantum mechanics is difficult to understand.

The phenomenon of quantum mechanics is real

The "speed of light" as we know it is untrue.

Let us do a thought experiment: suppose I am a bystander outside this world, suppose my "observation" has no effect on this world, and I can "see" everything in this world "truely". That is, I can see the various speeds, including the speed of light, then the phenomenon of quantum mechanics is very natural. I can further guess that there is no incompatibility between quantum mechanics and general relativity.

Assuming that there is another kind of human being in our universe, their instrument is based on another speed (assuming that this speed is faster than the speed of light we know, that is, the speed of electromagnetic waves), in that case the light speed they see is another one, not the same as what we see. Nevertheless, if their speed of light is a finite multiple of C, there will be confusion similar to what we see in quantum mechanical phenomena.

Finally, speed is  determined by time and distance, so the speed is related to the relationship between time and space. Therefore, when the speed exceeds the "electromagnetic speed", time and space seem to change positions. It can also be said that the coordinate axis rotates by 90 degrees, so the imaginary number i is introduced. So, instead of saying that quantum mechanics is for the micro world while the theory of relativity is for the macro world, it is better to say that quantum mechanics is for the world of faster than electromagnetic wave speed, and the theory of relativity is for  the world of slower than electromagnetic wave speed.

Seeing this, you may not believe it. However, a theory is either overthrown or shocking.

(Hope you feel offended when reading this one, then feel happy.)

量子禅论：第一章

量子禅是基于科学尤其是量子力学的世界观。既然是世界观，也就要对宇宙的起源、宇宙的本质、自然与人的关系、宗教、艺术、美学和社会学都有一整套系统化的看法。 一个世界观为什么要基于科学？因为我们生存的环境，即大自然，是科学的研究对象。我们自己广义上说也是大自然的一部分，因此有些科学学科的内容就是人，或人和大自然的关系。一个世界观，如果摒弃科学，摒弃对自然的理解，就是摒弃了与人相关的重要内容。这样的世界观就会是偏颇的，它的有效性和相关性也就会较低，得出的结论也会是不正确的。很多宗教排斥科学，我认为是不对的。如果造物主创造了自然，而我们说自己相信造物主，却排斥或不想深入理解造物主所创造的自然，这可以说是没有真正相信造物主。而相信造物主，尊敬他，崇拜他，首先要尊敬并要深入理解他所创造的大自然，就得懂科学、掌握科学。也因此，世界观所包括的一切，都应该与科学有密切的关系。有些人，不论是文科生还是理科生，都对强调科学在人文方面的作用非常反感，其实是与宗教人士排斥科学持一种思维方式，都是不能认可科学的基本性。 当然，人文有独立于科学很大的部分，尤其是当人类社会已经摆脱了远古时代那种对自然的几乎无助的依赖，在精神世界取得更大发展的今天。这也是量子禅所认知并有所贡献的一部分，这在之后会有更详细的论述。但是，由于科学是研究自然的学问，而自然是人类生活的重要部分，因此科学是世界观的重要基础，这是不能不着重强调的。事实上，从古希腊的毕达哥拉斯、亚理斯多德，到伽利略、笛卡尔、牛顿、莱布尼茨、都既是科学家，又是人文大师。科学对于人文的影响很大，但人们又经常看不到这一点，有些人文者，宗教人士，更是不认同科学对人文的作用。量子禅其实是回归古典，不同于很多其它无论是宗教还是哲学的世界观，基于科学，尽可能的从科学的根本看问题。由于人类的终极问题“我从哪里来，我到哪里去，我是谁”都与自然有强烈的相关性，量子禅会给出更为自洽的世界观。 世界观影响日常生活，但一般不能直接成为日常语言。在日常生活和工作中，如果不是科学家，却总是谈科学，谈量子力学，别人又不懂，就事与愿违，无法沟通，影响生活和工作了。或者在欣赏一幅美术作品的时候，一定要谈量子力学，那也是很煞风景。但是量子禅者的世界观是对生活、工作和艺术欣赏都是有很大影响的。比如，量子多象性让量子禅者更加有容忍度，能够认识到不同观点有不同的角度，因此，也可能会创新。再

Key points of quantum entanglement as I think

圖片
When the general public talks about quantum entanglement, they really do not ask for deep understanding. They would say: When the two particles are far apart, and the information cannot be transmitted faster than light, you measure the (spin) state of one particle and you immediately know the (spin) state of the other particle. They said this is magical: could the information be transmitted from this particle to the other at the speed of faster than light? But the problem is, if we know that the two particles are in different states (the spins are in opposite directions), and one is detected, of course we will know the other, which does not require any faster than light  information transmission. It is as if two people divided a jade seal into two halves, each taking half, and traveled far away. Later when you see any one half, of course you would know that the other person has taken the other half. The key to the problem lies in the randomness of the spin directions of the two

量子もつれのポイント

圖片
一般の人々が量子もつれについて話すとき、彼らは本当に深い理解を求めません。彼らは言うだろう：2つの粒子が遠く離れており、情報が光より速く送信できない場合、1つの粒子の（スピン）状態を測定し、他の粒子の（スピン）状態をすぐに知ることができます。彼らはこれは不思議だと言いました：この情報は光よりも速い速度でこの粒子から他の粒子に伝えられるでしょうか？ しかし、問題は、2つの粒子が異なる状態（スピンが反対方向にある）であることがわかっていて、一方が検出された場合、もちろん、もう一方もわかっているため、光情報の伝送よりも高速である必要はありません。まるで2人がヒスイのアザラシを2つに半分に分け、それぞれが半分を取り、遠くを旅したかのようです。後で片方を見ると、もちろん、もう片方がもう片方を取っていることがわかります。 問題の鍵は、2つの粒子のスピン方向のランダム性にあります。つまり、2つの粒子のスピン方向が反対であることはわかっていますが、各粒子のスピン方向は、粒子自体もわかりません。まだ固定されていないため、正と負の両方が可能です。この粒子の回転方向は他の人にはわかっているようです。そのため、他の "選択"して反対の回転をとります。これは "不気味な動作"（ "不気味な動作"）です。他の人はどのようにして異なる方向をとるのでしょうか。ジェイドシールの半分を2人がそれぞれ取ったと言うのと同じですが、それぞれが固定された半分ではありませんでした。これは不明なためではなく、固定されているからではなく、実際には半分または半分のどちらかです。翡翠の半分は精神性と気性を持っているようです。片方の手では、これは半分かもしれませんし、もう半分かもしれませんが、常に反対であるので、二人はどちらが半分を取ったのか分からないのです。 したがって、量子エンタングルメントの問題は、それらが離れすぎていることではなく、光の速度によって伝播される情報に到達できないことですが、それでも次のようになります。 2）2つが常に異なる方向にある理由。最初の質問は、依然として量子力学の基本的な質問です。つまり、「重ね合わせ」と呼ばれる、なぜ粒子がこれまたはそれになるのかということです。 2番目の問題は、パウリの排他原理に関連しています。
