Could Inelastic Interactions Induce Quantum Probabilistic Transitions?

TL;DR

This paper explores whether inelastic interactions can cause quantum systems to undergo probabilistic transitions, aiming to address fundamental questions about quantum entities and propose a more complete, testable quantum theory.

Contribution

It introduces the idea that inelastic interactions may induce quantum probabilistic transitions, offering a potential solution to the quantum wave/particle dilemma and improving upon orthodox quantum theory.

Findings

Inelastic interactions can induce probabilistic transitions in quantum systems.

Probabilism offers a natural resolution to the wave/particle dilemma.

Proposes a testable, micro-realistic quantum theory free from orthodox limitations.

Abstract

What are quantum entities? Is the quantum domain deterministic or probabilistic? Orthodox quantum theory (OQT) fails to answer these two fundamental questions. As a result of failing to answer the first question, OQT is very seriously defective: it is imprecise, ambiguous, ad hoc, non-explanatory, inapplicable to the early universe, inapplicable to the cosmos as a whole, and such that it is inherently incapable of being unified with general relativity. It is argued that probabilism provides a very natural solution to the quantum wave/particle dilemma and promises to lead to a fully micro-realistic, testable version of quantum theory that is free of the defects of OQT. It is suggested that inelastic interactions may induce quantum probabilistic transitions.
