The Schrodinger's paradox : The AVB interpretation

Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment, sometimes described as a paradox, devised by Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger in 1935, It illustrates what he saw as the problem of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics applied to everyday objects. The scenario presents a cat which may be simultaneously both alive and dead, a state known as a quantum superposition, as a result of being linked to a random subatomic event that may or may not occur. The thought experiment is also often featured in theoretical discussions of theinterpretations of quantum mechanics. Schrödinger coined the term Verschränkung in the course of developing the thought experiment.

Copenhagen interpretation


The most commonly held interpretation of quantum mechanics is the Copenhagen interpretation. In the Copenhagen interpretation, a system stops being a superposition of states and becomes either one or the other when an observation takes place. This thought experiment makes apparent the fact that the nature of measurement, or observation, is not well-defined in this interpretation. The experiment can be interpreted to mean that while the box is closed, the system simultaneously exists in a superposition of the states "decayed nucleus/dead cat" and "undecayed nucleus/living cat", and that only when the box is opened and an observation performed does the wave function collapse into one of the two states.
However, one of the main scientists associated with the Copenhagen interpretation, Niels Bohr, never had in mind the observer-induced collapse of the wave function, so that Schrödinger's cat did not pose any riddle to him. The cat would be either dead or alive long before the box is opened by a conscious observer. Analysis of an actual experiment found that measurement alone (for example by a Geiger counter) is sufficient to collapse a quantum wave function before there is any conscious observation of the measurement. The view that the "observation" is taken when a particle from the nucleus hits the detector can be developed into objective collapse theories. The thought experiment requires an "unconscious observation" by the detector in order for magnification to occur. In contrast, the many worlds approach denies that collapse ever occurs.

The modified AVB interpretation: 

The modified AVB interpretation is a simple yet satisfying explanation to the paradox which points out to the dependency of the results of the experiment on a commonly ignored but complex and indeterminable variable, the lifespan of the cat.

 "The Schrodinger's cat paradox is dependent on another indeterminable complex variable i.e. the natural lifespan of the cat. The cat within the enclosed box could die of natural causes ( death by aging  ) within the period of the experiment making it impossible to determine if the cat is alive or dead until the box is opened and the inference is observed."

Quantum Theory - The AVB interpretation.

"In a quantum system, the state of a cause induced effect
can be ascertained only after observation of the induced effect by a conscious observer or measuring
device and is irrespective of conventional or prior cause-effect relationship.

"This implies that an isolated and unobserved quantum process has infinite probable effects and the outcome after observation depends on the parameter being measured/observed or the intent of measurement"   Also, " An isolated and unobserved quantum omni-particle (Ref : Ether) can express itself in infinite ways to an observer/measuring device depending on the intent of observation."

i.e. Within a Quantum system an excited particle of a quantum omni-particle can be a perceived as light (photon) , heat  or dark energy depending on the observing device and observational intent.

A quantum omni-particle can be defined as an unit particle of a base medium that can vary it's expressive state depending upon the intent of measurement or observation. A quantum omni-particle is to forces and energy what atoms are to matter.

Devidutt Pattanaik - East Vs West : Life altering talk (Courtesy : TED)


Vacuum talk - Dr. Paramahamsa Tewari, India

A century from now, it will be well known that: the vacuum of space which fills the universe is itself the real substratum of the universe; vacuum in a circulating state becomes matter; the electron is the fundamental particle of matter and is a vortex of vacuum with a vacuum-less void at the center and it is dynamically stable; the speed of light relative to vacuum is the maximum speed that nature has provided and is an inherent property of the vacuum; vacuum is a subtle fluid unknown in material media; vacuum is mass-less, continuous, non viscous, and incompressible and is responsible for all the properties of matter; and that vacuum has always existed and will exist forever. Then scientists, engineers and philosophers will bend their heads in shame knowing that modern science ignored the vacuum in our chase to discover reality for more than a century.
