Under which circumstance is it not quantized ? My definition of energy would be something like this: <<Personal speculation deleted>>

Because that would explain why energy is quantized.

Why do we assume that about time ? So there is no perfectly inelastic collision at all in the quantum world ?

I have been thinking recently and I have a few questions. I wonder if the following thought experiment was valid : We establish two sources of "perfectly inelastic" particles facing directly to each other, so that they generate particles moving exactly towards the opposite direction than the...

Well I think I paint the same picture because in the de Broglie-Bohm theory there is a carrying wave which defines the possible trajectories of the particle and I found this similar to the swarm which defines the trajectory of a bird in it. I think on this as sort of a random path dispatching...

@DevilsAvocado You still don't understand it. You think that I say that the other electrons affect the trajectory but I don't. The electron has nothing to do with the interference, therefore it doesn't matter how much time or space is between each launch of the particles, and this is why you...

@atyy : Yeah this is exactly what I thought. Nevertheless I claimed that this is the consequence of HUP. Because when you launch a 'particle' (a pack of energy), you know (more precisely) where it is, so it must be uncertain that which one of the slits it goes through, because you must know...

So many things have been said here, unfortunately I still have not had time to read them completely, but I think some of you have not completely understood what my original assumption was. I can't really explain it better, I'd rather show something similar to it: so I supposed that the mater...

I don't think that wavelength makes a difference here, because different wavelength means different energy density, and therefore it interacts differently. It would certainly mean that I'm wrong if particles with different energy level looked identical, because then the interference patterns...

well you get different interference patterns on different wavelength if this is what you are trying to get to, but does this contradict with my original assumption somehow ?

That's wavelength, I thought it was obvious, so that's why I didn't say anything about it.

@Cthugha: Actually I'm not a physics expert, I only studied it in high school and one semester in uni. I don't know why I had this thought in the morning, but when I woke up this was the first thing that came across my mind, and I felt I had to check it out if it makes sense. I didn't know that...

I don't get it, does the fact that wave functions operate with complex numbers imply that the explanation I gave is wrong ? Or you say its just not easy to validate because of this ?

Hi everyone, today I had a thought coming across my mind when I woke up, and I think it might be an explanation for the particle-wave duality. Now, when we are talking about a particle, one thing that has to be mentioned is the uncertainty principle. If you divide space into equal volumes for...
