imaginary equations

[AntonioLao]

At the heart or gut of quantum mechanics is Schrödinger wave equation. However, its successful descriptions of atomic spectra do not justify ignoring or taking for granted the undeniable fact that it is absolutely an imaginary equation. It would be more or less forgettable or forgivable if it is simply an imaginary or real inequality analogous to the uncertainty expressions DxDp≥h or DtDE≥h.

Furthermore, when Dirac extended it into his relativistic wave equation, he made it even more imaginary by introducing zero metric spinors. Fortunately, Dirac equation surpasses the successes of Schrödinger wave equation. For one important thing, it predicted the existence of antimatter. However, the wavefunction Y remains in the shadowy realm of imagination. So far, all attempts to break its imaginary walls failed miserably.

Back in 1926, Max Born’s probabilistic interpretation of Y into a probability wavefunction allows accurate measurements for the absolute squares of the conjugate product |Y*Y| requiring only normalization of its integral ò¶|Y*Y|=1. Today, if |Y*Y| describes the 4th power of complex imaginary then the best measured outcomes are all negative real numbers. On the other hand, its 8th power descriptions |Y*Y| can measure all but positive real numbers. These would be helpful in eliminating all physical concepts of dark matter, dark energy, graviton, Higgs boson, magnetic monopole, gluon, axion, tachyon, and all supersymmetric particles. Most of all is to initiate the downfall of all superstring theories, rendering them unnecessary for further formulations of physical theories and delivering them into the heap of everlasting oblivion.

Surely all equations are of and from the mind-thereby imaginary?

I have no problem eliminating all the above, but my Idea requires strings or a one dimensional entity to start things off. Though they don't have to be superstrings regular strings would work fine.

Best,

regular strings would work fine.

But of course there is always a better and quicker way to skin a cat. However, human nature always allow traveling along the hardest path to salvation and resisting the easiest and simplest shortcut by turning around walking the opposite direction, admitting that one has mistaken at the outset.

I'm with nature on following the path of least resistence. Did you just kill Shrodingers cat.
Thanks for your reply on .999...=1. As always confusing but insightful.

That's about the size of it,said the actress to the bishop,sorry,wrong thread!

Actually, I release it from imprisonment in the blackbody cubicle of pure imaginary walls. In any case, it was a kitten then now it's a roaring vicious mad and angry fearful tiger of perfect symmetry for being trapped for many billion years.

[Profpat]

I thought the good doctor put the cat in the hat (oops) box ~70 years ago. Of course that would be ~ 500 cat years.

[AntonioLao]

Of course that would be ~ 500 cat years.

Since cats have nine lives 500 to the power 9 would be 1 950 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 years!

LOL Ok no more math arguments with a mathematican
