Abstract

This paper deals with a non quantum physics derivation and demonstration of the real physical origin of electromagnetic quanta, eliminating for good all the paradoxes, the confusion and the irrationality of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, which states that electromagnetic quanta and ponderable subatomic particles are dual physical objects behaving sometimes as particles, and other times as waves, depending on the characteristics and specifications of the corresponding experimental set-ups. Consequently, according to that interpretation, it is meaningless, for example, to ask what a photon or a particle really is. What really matters is what we can say about the physical phenomena observed. Physicists then have clear choices: either they can experimentally leave the subatomic particles and the photons alone and observe the interference patterns; or visually observe the particles? trajectories in space, washing out the corresponding interference patterns. The two situations are complementary. Similarly, according to same physical interpretation of quantum mechanics, there also exist position and linear momentum complementarities in such a way that if the position of a particle is determined, then, its linear momentum is uncertain, and vice versa. The time and space contraction of the electromagnetic radiation emitted by spinning and rotating electrically charged particles, such as electrons and protons, explains without any ambiguity whatsoever the origin and nature of photons or quanta of electromagnetic radiation; and rationally solves, once and for all, the mystery of the wave-particle duality of quantum physics, just as will be demonstrated throughout this paper without beating about the bush.
