Part 4: PROBABLE LOCATION OF A POINT WAVE SOURCE

 

4.1. Introduction to Part 4

The idea that the inner frame of elementary particles is that of a wave source is the main theme of this article, even though there are other concepts presented along with this proposal. In quantum theory, the wave’s amplitude represents the probabilistic location of a particle. In this article, the quantum is best understood as a wave source. Therefore, I now represent the wave as the probabilistic location of a point-wave source.

 

4.2. The Probabilistic Location of a Point-Wave Source

In quantum wave source theory, quanta are understood not to be particles but waves made up of an indefinite number of point-wave sources. Furthermore, the smaller the region that these quantum waves inhabit, the more they behave like point-wave sources. I now propose that a quantum wave’s amplitude does not represent the probable location of a particle, but instead, it represents the probable location of a point-wave source.

If a wave were restricted to a single point, this wave would be represented by a single point-wave source. This is not what really happens. Instead, waves are often restricted to small regions. One way this happens is when a quantum wave’s location is detected. It is for a moment located in that small region where it was detected by an observer. (I assume that this region is small enough that the quantum wave acts like a wave source.) In other words, the wave does not collapse to give the location of a particle. Instead, it collapses everywhere else outside of the region where it was detected. The wave’s amplitude is representative of the probability of finding a point-wave source. (To read about the cause of this probability, see my theory of distance-time [9].) The point-wave source is located where there is an amplitude for the wave, and the measurement can be as narrow as possibly allowed by the particle used for the measuring and at any point of the wave. The smaller the region where that wave is detected, the more that wave acts like a point-wave source. Moreover, this wave source acts like a particle in many ways. In this article, I have given wave sources energy and interference type forces. Nonetheless, it is still best understood as a wave source according to this article and not as a particle.

 

4.3. Conclusion to Part 4

It only makes sense that when detecting a wave’s location, it is the location of a point-wave source that is being detected, and this point-wave source at each point of the amplitude is what makes up the wave. Of course, this wave source acts like a particle in many ways because I have given wave sources energy and interference type forces. To summarize, point-wave sources are the building blocks of waves. Furthermore, when a wave location is detected in a small region, its point-wave source’s behavior becomes more apparent. Therefore, it is best to understand elementary particles as a point-wave source—not as simply a particle or a vibrating string. Finally, the probabilities for finding a point-wave source would still be calculated the same way as done in traditional quantum physics. The idea of a three-dimensional wave source only replaces the wave packet as the construct for elementary particles. For the most part, quantum theory remains the same.
