Philosophy of Physics / Science ?
What photon is, what electron is, what proton is, what "ordinary particle" is.
1)
Poor Einstein had problem to understand " what photon is".
" All these fifty years of conscious brooding have brought me no nearer
to the answer to the question, 'What are light quanta?'
Nowadays every Tom, Dick and Harry thinks he knows it, but he is mistaken.'‘
/ Einstein. 1954. /
2)
There are many - many theories about what electron is.
All of them are problematical.
3)
Does proton really have many quarks and their brother antiquarks ?
4)
Where did mass of "ordinary particles" come from ?
=..
Hmm.
Say now: " we have philosophy of Physics / Science"

It was, is, it will be forever an infinite, eternal, absolute reference frame T=0K.
On this infinite scene there are located gravity systems

About quantum impulse h and h*.

About quantum impulse h and h*.
1)
Quantum particle has two (2) kinds of different impulses: (h) and (h*).
2)
Quantum of light having impulse (h) travelling in a straight line with
constant speed c=1 has infinite wavelength it means its frequencies
aren’t limited.
3)
Quantum of light having impulse ( h*= h / 2pi ) will go in a curved path
( rotate around its axle / diameter ) and its speed will be more than constant (c >1) .
In this movement quantum of light has limited specific frequencies.
4)
From the point of Earth gravity reference frame c=1 is maximal.
From the point of Vacuum's reference frame c=1 is minimal.
( Tachyon theory )
5)
Frequency belongs to quantum particle with some geometrical form.
Maybe: point, string, loop, triangle , cone , cube, . . . . . . .
6)
To know what quantum of light is ( and its h and h* ) we need to know
its geometrical form. Quantum particle without geometrical form
is an abstract creation.
7)
In 1900 Planck's wrote quantum of action as: h=E/t
(it means: there must be (phenomenologically must be ) some quantum action)
In 1905 Einstein wrote quantum of action as: h=kb.
(it means: there is (exactly there is ) quantum of action.
===.
Planck's constant (h, h*) belongs to the smallest and fundamental
particle of Nature: quantum of light. And Einstein wrote:
“All these fifty years of conscious brooding have brought me no nearer
to the answer to the question, 'What are light quanta?'
Nowadays every Tom, Dick and Harry thinks he knows it,
but he is mistaken.”
( Albert Einstein, 1954 )

Infinity: fact, fiction, solution.

Infinity: fact, fiction, solution.
=.
Physicists don’t create physical laws.
Physical laws are independent from humans.
The physical laws were existed before the first physicist was born.
Fact .
The critical density of all mass in the Universe is so low that
it cannot “close” the Universe into sphere and therefore the
Universe as whole is “open” / “flat” , endless, infinite.
Fiction .
This fact is dismissed / ignored by scientific community.
They say: “ if in theory infinity appears – the theory is wrong.
Why physicists don’t adopt the “infinity” as a fact?
Because they don’t know that to do with “infinity”.
“Infinity” means no borders. So, the problem is:
“ how infinity can be limited ”
Solution.
In my opinion, if “infinity” has concrete physical parameter (s)
then it is no problem to understand its function, its ability.
=.
Zero vacuum is an infinite continuum in the condition T=0K.
“Ideal gas” has the same condition : T=0K.
According to the “Quantum theory” vacuum is some kind
of energetic / energy space. It is possible to use these two theories
in order to understand “the limits and abilities of infinity” and
the initial conditions of Existence.

An alternative to the "big bang", “black hole”, “ideal gas”
=
In the 1973 the Universe was in the condition T=2,7K. ( Nobel prize )
Today in the 2014 this condition is a little less than T=2,7K
and " tomorrow" this condition will be T=0K.
Therefore I will say:
It was, is, it will be forever an infinite, eternal, absolute reference frame T=0K.
On this infinite scene there are located gravity systems
on which human tries to understand the reality.
==
In the T=0K exists some kind of "virtual" negative imaginary particles.
These imaginary quantum particles are as real particles as positive Newtonian ones.

Kirchhoff's black body - light go in and don't come back.
Black holes - light go in and don't come back.
Zero Vacuum - light go in and don't come back.
===
Black - holes have temperature about absolute zero
(60 nanokelvin - 60 billionths of a kelvin).
" Ideal Gas" has temperature T=0K.
The Cosmos as whole has temperature T=0K.
===
My conclusion.
a)
Kirchhoff's black body, black holes , "ideal gas" are models of zero vacuum.
b)
All laws of an "ideal gas" and "quantum theory" can be used
to explain the initial / primary conditions of the Existance.
c)
It seems that in the future heat death of the universe can come.
(according to the logic of big bang )
But thanks to Planck's and Hawking radiations
( vacuum fluctuation, tunneling barrier )
the Universe can escape heat death.

[socratus]

By the “theory” we were educated:
“ if we cannot observe physical phenomenon then it doesn't exist.
We can ignore this phenomenon. “
=.
There are two fundamental constants in nature: T=0K and
constant speed of photon: c-1.
1)
We cannot reach constant speed of photon c=1 but photon can
and ( thanks to Michelson ) it was observed and therefore it was accepted.
2)
We cannot reach T=0K, we cannot straight observe phenomena in T=0K.
Any instrument does not fit.
But this doesn’t mean that this continuum is abstract.
The “vacuum fluctuations / transformations” show that T=0K isn’t abstraction
and “virtual particles” exist there and they can change situation for observation.
3)
One fundamental constant ( c-1) after many years of doubt was adopted.
Sooner or later another fundamental constant of Nature: T=0K would be adopted too.

The constant speed of photon and zero vacuum are mathematical limits
because we cannot reach these parameters. (using physical instruments)

@ TheoriaApophasis

Try to read ancient " Veda" or " Hermeticism " or . . .
Plato's "ideas", Kant's " thing- in- itself ", Leibniz's "monades" . . .
then you will understand :
Nothing is new under the Sun.
==…
Old time - old ideas.
Today we have Quantum Mechanic.
On the basis of Quantum Mechanic we have genius scientific
technology and wrong / abstract philosophy of Quantum Theory.
Why?
First. Quantum Mechanic has no Reference Frame.
Second. Quantum Mechanic has one Hero –
- it is Quantum of light / Photon / Electron.
And Einstein wrote about quantum of light / photon :
" All these fifty years of conscious brooding have brought me
no nearer to the answer to the question, 'What are light quanta?'
Nowadays every Tom, Dick and Harry thinks he knows it,
but he is mistaken."

And the simple quantum particle - electron has six ( 6 ) formulas:
+E=Mc^2 and -E=Mc^2 , E=h*f , e^2=ah*c,
E=-me^4/2h*^2= -13,6eV and E= ∞.
Nobody knows "why?"
Nobody knows their correlation, how to unite them together.
=.
We have a wide field for speculations.
I say:
The secret of God, Soul and Existence is hidden in
" The Quantum theory of Vacuum and Quantum of Light ".
But of course this opinion must be tested by physicists
and this testing is not simple.

that all our science, measured against reality,
is primitive and childlike –
and yet it is the most precious thing we have.”

God / gods and Mathematics / Physics / Quantum theory.
=.
" Mathematics is the language in which the gods speak to people."
/ Plato /
It means that religion without mathematical / physical background
can be fiction. It means that all different gods / religions must have one
common mathematical / physical basis.
It means that Brahman, Zeus, YHWH , God, Allah, . . . Supreme Creator,
the Supreme Being . . . and so on . . . . must know physical laws and
formulas to create Existence. It means that Brahman, Zeus, YHWH , God,
as the ONE (!) cannot create Universe without physical laws and formulas.

Charles de Montesquieu wrote:
" Everybody creates his God according to his own image and spirit.
If triangles made a God they would give him three sides."
/ Charles de Montesquieu . Persian Letters, 1721 /
But if physicists make a God, they would give Him concrete
mathematical / physical parameters.
#
Eddington wrote:
The Reasons of a modern science give, maybe
the opportunity to make the conclusion
that the religion became acceptable
for sensible scientific mind, since 1927.
/ Arthur Stanley . Eddington /.
It means that from 1927 the modern science ( quantum theory )
can explain "religion" by math / physical laws and formulas.
It means that Quantum theory can explain not only the earthly
matters but the heavenly matters too and unite them together,

" Realistically, . . . . Physically. . . . "
“ Everything we call real is made of things that cannot be regarded as real.
If quantum mechanics hasn't profoundly shocked you,
you haven't understood it yet.”

If my idea that " The secret of God, Soul and Existence
is hidden in the Quantum theory of Vacuum and Light "
hasn't shocked you, you haven't understood it yet.

P.S.
" The mathematics of QM is straightforward, but making the
connection between the mathematics and an intuitive picture
of the physical world is very hard"
/ Claude N. Cohen-Tannoudji . Nobel Prize in Physics 1997 /
Why? Because:
a) we don't know the reference frame of quantum theory
b) we don't know what quantum of light is.
The reference frame and quantum of light are the basis of
quantum theory all the rest is secondary.
And if the basis is wrong then the philosophy of physics is vague.

All organisms have some form of consciousness.
The difference is that some can form a more complex model than others.
#
Consciousness is the alpha and omega of existence.
Matter without consciousness is a dead matter.
Matter with consciousness is a living being.
Existence is consciousness + matter.
Therefor to understand existence we need to take consciousness
and matter as one chain of evolution in Nature.
Not only Darwin's evolution of matter,
but evolution of consciousness + matter together.
=.
What must be presented in a body to make it alive ?
Consciousness.
This consciousness cannot be rigid.
Consciousness. ( like matter / together with matter)
must develop / evolve.
The development / evolution of consciousness is going
from simple to complex, from single cell to human being
and as ancient Veda says: “from vague wish up to a clear thought”.
==..
Many think that we are very special living beings.
Why? . . . Because:
" If you mean by conscious alert and able to react to their environment,
many animals are more able than humans to perform these functions.
If you mean by conscious, able to engage in abstract thought then
no imaging procedure can inform you whether not that that is happening."
/ Jim Potchen . University Distinguished Professor at MSU /
=.
Animals cannot think abstractly.
Humans are able to abstract thought..
What is result of this abstract thought ?
The pride of human abstract thinking brought to many paradoxical theories.
For example: quark, string, big bang, many - many electron's theories and
more than 14 models of quantum theory.
And many (even with PhD in the pocket) take abstract ideas as a real world.

[socratus]

QM is very universal theory.
#
Some claim that QM has something to do with consciousness:
Quantum mind.
Quantum mind - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
#
Quantum brain dynamics
Quantum brain dynamics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
#
Some tried to make parallels between the eastern mystic / spiritual
opinion and quantum physics.
( Fritjof Capra, David Bohm, John Polkinghorne . .. . )
#
Some believe that God exist only if . . . .
" If He understands Maths and Physics then He exists."
/ Frank Tipler. /

So, in the way to understand QM we can meet many surprising things.
