Where Quantum Mechanics Went Off the Rails

Quantum mechanics went off the rails when it tried to understand wave function collapse.

Evidence: Video identifies wave function collapse interpretation as the point where quantum mechanics went off the rails requiring arbitrary explanations

Hal Puthoff 1987 paper proposed zero point energy keeps electrons elevated preventing collapse.

Evidence: Puthoff ground state of hydrogen atom 1987 conjectured zero point energy reservoir replenishes electron energy preventing radiation collapse

Classical physics predicts electrons should spiral into nucleus within 10 to the minus 11 seconds.

Evidence: Sean Caroll calculation showing electron energy loss timeline based on classical physics predicting instability within 10 to the minus 11 seconds

Experiments prove atoms are stable lasting much longer than classical predictions allow.

Evidence: Evidence that atoms are stable and last longer than hundredth of a billionth of second contradicting classical predictions

Mainstream physics arbitrarily claimed classical and quantum worlds work differently to avoid admitting error.

Evidence: Instead of reconciling reality with physics by adding zero point energy mainstream claimed worlds work differently because of reasons

Louis de Broglie 1924 thesis proposed electrons should be thought of as waves rather than particles.

Evidence: De Broglie PhD thesis suggesting electrons as waves became foundation for modern wave function concept

Schrodinger wave function uses complex valued functions that become particles only when measured.

Evidence: Schrodinger picture uses complex valued wave functions at every point in space that look like particles only when measured or observed

Wave function collapse interpretation is nonsensical because electrons cannot know if they are being observed.

Evidence: Criticized question of how electron knows if someone is looking at it to determine particle behavior versus wave behavior

Zero point energy acts as reservoir that all energy goes back to continuously replenishing electron.

Evidence: Puthoff proposed zero point energy as reservoir that gives energy back every time electron loses energy keeping it elevated

Orbital shapes in chemistry represent definite energy wave shapes not particle orbits.

Evidence: Chemistry orbitals show wavelike shapes with discrete possible places representing particular shapes of definite energy

Mainstream claim that electron is cloud with no movement because moments in time show specific shapes is incorrect.

Evidence: Presenter argues that even in waves movement happens and shape changes indicate action contrary to mainstream claim of time slice stability

Charles Chase challenged Sean Caroll claiming zero point energy would be proven usable within his lifetime.

Evidence: Charles Chase told Sean Caroll he would be proven wrong about zero point energy never being usable before he dies

Physics community makes up explanations like dark energy and dark matter instead of reexamining foundations.

Evidence: Video claims physicists make up dark energy and dark matter explanations instead of addressing foundational problems with mass and gravity
