A wave system theory of quantum mechanics

Abstract

Because quantum mechanics has severe interpretational problems which have not been resolved within the theory of quantum mechanics, a new approach to basic physics is proposed. Elementary particles are hypothesized to be the constructive interference peaks of a wave system extending throughout the universe. It is then shown that the wave system is in the lowest energy state when the wave modes constructively interfere. Consequently, the interference peaks are stable entities since any reduction in the constructive interference would raise the energy of the system. The Schrödinger equation is derived from the wave system based on the Lorentz invariance of the classical wave equation subject to the condition that the constructive interference peaks remain in-phase with the wave modes. In addition, the results of the two-slit interference experiment are logically explained.
