Quantum field theory has been proven to be mechanistically thus essentially wrong

Because quantum mechanics has been proven to be fundamentally, essentially and crucially wrong

------------------------------------------------ by Bingcheng Zhao


Related knowledge: quantum field theory (QFT) is the product of applying quantum mechanics (QM) to the assumed quantum fields, and QFT was formulated in order to extend QM to be consistent with special relativity.


Core reminding!!! Fact 1: quantum mechanics (QM) has been proven to be fundamentally, essentially and crucially wrong, because it inherently and permanently possesses four most important inabilities (P. 346 ~ 359, 3.19, Ch.3E, reference #1; http://mechanism-revealedphysics-bcz75.blogspot.com/ ). The four most important inabilities of QM are: (a) QM does not and cannot solve the most fundamental problem in quantum physics ---- why there are quantum states, being a well-known and undeniable fact. (b) QM is utterly incapable of establishing electron-photon work-energy relation (equation) ---- the work-energy relation between electron and its emitting photon. (c) QM is incapable of establishing electron-photon momentum relation (equation) ---- the relation in momentum between electron and its emitting photon. (d) QM is unable to establish electron-photon wavelength relation (equation) ---- the relation in wavelength between electron and its emitting photon. Fact 2: special relativity has been proven to be mechanistically thus essentially wrong, due to it utterly skipping over the mechanism thus essence behind its describing phenomena via its two postulates (P. 149 ~ 178, Ch.1D, reference #1; http://mechanism-revealedphysics-bcz73.blogspot.com/ ). These two proven thus undeniable facts will be tangibly helpful to digesting and accepting another proven fact: quantum field theory has been proven to be mechanistically thus essentially wrong ---- the central topic of 8.2, Ch.8A (P. 804 ~ 809, 8.2, Ch.8A, reference #2).


[*Three acronyms: (1) QFT = quantum field theory. (2) QM = quantum mechanics. (3) EPBSR = Einstein’s postulate-based special relativity (i.e., special relativity) ---- Einstein’s special relativity is based on two postulates, so its real name should be Einstein’s postulate-based special relativity)].




Quantum field theory (QFT) has been proven to be mechanistically thus essentially wrong with the following core evidences (P. 804 ~ 809, 8.2, Ch.8A, reference #2). (1) Because QFT is virtually an application of QM, QFT inevitably possesses the four most important inabilities inherently and permanently embedded in QM, which is actually sufficient to prove the conclusion that QFT is mechanistically thus essentially wrong. (2) QFT actually incorporates the crucially essential mistakes from EPBSR, because QFT was formulated in order to extend QM to be consistent with EPBSR, whereas EPBSR has been proven to be mechanistically thus essentially wrong due to it utterly skipping over the mechanism thus essence behind its describing phenomena via its two postulates (P. 149 ~ 178, Ch.1D, reference #1; http://mechanism-revealedphysics-bcz73.blogspot.com/ ). (3) There is no mechanism that can cause the so-called quantum field described in QFT to be quantized at all, literally because at the assumed quantized points described in QFT (i.e., the “normal modes of oscillation” or in “quantum harmonic oscillators”), the quantum nature of light (photons) cannot be dynamically thus mechanistically materialized. (4) QFT is unable to solve its facing fundamental, essential and crucial problems at all. (a) QFT is incapable of dynamically thus mechanistically revealing the quantum mechanism of why and how photons get their velocity from the very electron that emits them, thus unable to answer the most fundamental question in front of it: why there are quantum states. (b) QFT is incapable of determining the most essential relation in quantum physics, the work-energy relation between electron and its emitting photon. (c) QFT is incapable of dynamically thus mechanistically solving the crucial problem ---- how and why photons get their momentum from the electron emitting them. In short, because there is indeed solid physical mechanism thus essence behind QFT describing phenomena, and since QFT utterly skips over the mechanism and essence, QFT is thereby mechanistically thus essentially wrong. In addition, three crucial clues indicating that QFT cannot be mechanistically thus essentially correct have been provided and analyzed.




The key to understanding of the proven fact that quantum field theory (QFT) is mechanistically thus essentially wrong: (1) the four most important inabilities inherently and permanently embedded in quantum mechanics (QM), which demonstrate that QM is fundamentally, essentially and crucially wrong (P. 346 ~ 359, 3.19, Ch.3E, reference #1; http://mechanism-revealedphysics-bcz75.blogspot.com/ ), also equally show that QFT is mechanistically thus essentially wrong. (2) The proven fact, which is that special relativity (i.e., EPBSR) has been proven to be mechanistically thus essentially wrong (P. 149 ~ 178, Ch.1D, reference #1; http://mechanism-revealedphysics-bcz73.blogspot.com/ ), is actually equivalent to the inevitable reality that QFT cannot be mechanistically thus essentially correct, simply because QFT was formulated in order to extend QM to be consistent with EPBSR. (3) There is no mechanism that can cause the so-called quantum fields described in quantum field theory to be quantized at all, being indicated with the fact that second quantization assumption has to be employed in QFT. (4) The well-known and undeniable fact, which is that QFT is incapable of solving the most fundamental problem in quantum physics, why there are quantum states, will be substantially helpful to digesting and accepting the proven conclusion that QFT is mechanistically thus essentially wrong. (5) Once knowing of why there are quantum states via the newly discovered and verified law of orbiting electron periodic impulse emitting photons (P. 193 ~ 214, Ch.2A, reference #1; http://mechanism-revealedphysics-bcz4.blogspot.com/ ), you will easily accept the proven fact that QFT is mechanistically thus essentially wrong, simply because QFT does not and cannot know why there are quantum states.


Available clues can be helpful to digesting and accepting the proven fact that quantum field theory (QFT) is mechanistically thus essentially wrong. There are three important clues (they are also well-known and undeniable facts) indicating that QFT cannot be mechanistically thus essentially correct (P. 807 ~ 808, 8.2.4, Ch.8A, reference #2). Clue 1: QFT is incapable of answering the key remaining question: how an atom radiates light as its electrons jump from excited states? (Note, this problem is actually a permanently incapable solved fundamentally important problem within the paradigm of QFT, because the crux of this problem is that ‘QFT is incapable of dynamically thus mechanistically revealing the quantum mechanism of why and how photons get their velocity from the very electron that emits them’). Clue 2: why second quantization assumption (i.e., quantization for bosons and fermions) is absolutely necessary in QFT. (Because QFT, just like its predecessor QM, is incapable of discovering the mechanism of quantization, employing this assumption is a has-to-do “choice” and is a forced “choice”). Clue 3: QFT predicts a huge value of the cosmological constant. (Note, after the concept of the cosmological constant has been proven to be mechanistically thus essentially wrong (P. 788 ~ 789, 7.7.2, Ch.7B, reference #2; http://mechanism-revealedphysics-bcz36.blogspot.com/ ), the very fact that QFT predicts a huge value of the cosmological constant virtually becomes a clue indicating that QFT is either mechanistically thus essentially wrong or at least cannot be mechanistically thus essentially correct).


The catastrophic consequences of not accepting the proven fact that quantum field theory (QFT) is mechanistically thus essentially wrong: (a) quantum physics will continue to be built upon the mechanistically thus essentially wrong foundation and paradigm of QFT. (b) It is impossible to solve the fundamentally important problem in physics, the problem of Higgs boson. Related information: the problem of Higgs boson has been completely solved, with the newly established and verified mechanism-revealed physics (http://mechanism-revealedphysics-bcz37.blogspot.com/ ).


What are the mechanistically profound implications of quantum field theory (QFT) turning out to be mechanistically thus essentially wrong? All the previously believed experimental verifications or tests of QFT cannot be mechanistically thus essentially valid, because none of these so-called verifications or tests can touch or include the mechanisms thus essences behind what are verified or tested, simply due to QFT utterly skipping the mechanisms thus essences behind its describing phenomena. For example, none of the so-called verifications or tests of QFT can tell us the mechanism of why there are quantum states.

By comparison: after discovering and verifying the law of orbiting electron periodic impulse emitting photons (http://mechanism-revealedphysics-bcz4.blogspot.com/ ) that completely solves the fundamentally important problem in quantum physics ---- why there are quantum states, there is no reason or excuse not to accept the proven fact that quantum field theory (QFT) is mechanistically thus essentially wrong, simply because QFT does not and cannot solve the fundamentally important problem of why there are quantum states ---- being a well-known and undeniable fact.
