Quantum Mechanics Based on Particles as Mutual Energy Flow Rather Than Self-Energy Flow
Abstract
According to classical electromagnetic theory, quantum mechanics, and quantum field theory, particles are often associated with self-energy flow. In electromagnetic theory, the so-called self-energy flow corresponds to the Poynting vector of energy flow, and in quantum mechanics, it represents the probability current density. The author believes this is likely incorrect. The author finds that self-energy flow can be replaced by mutual energy flow. Mutual energy flow consists of retarded waves emitted by the source and advanced waves emitted by the sink. The source includes the primary coil of a transformer, the transmitting antenna, radiation atoms, and the cathode emitting electrons. The sink includes the secondary coil of the transformer, the receiving antenna, absorbing atoms, and the anode receiving electrons. Originally, all energy flows are generated by the source. If we assume energy flow is generated jointly by the source and the sink, we first need to compress the field produced by the source to half its original size. In this way, the source produces half of the field, and the sink produces the other half. The mutual energy flow generated by the source and sink together will exactly match the original self-energy flow produced by the source. However, there is still a problem. If the energy flow is mutual energy flow rather than self-energy flow, then self-energy flow should not transfer energy. However, if we do not alter the original electromagnetic theory or…
