Two fundamental difficulties in 20th century physics and possible ways to overcome them beyond the axiomatic paradigm
1. The problem of modeling and physical completeness All mathematical constructions in physics are models based on axioms. This implies a fundamental limitation: any model is constructed by selecting a subset of degrees of freedom and interactions, while neglecting others. In classical physics, this limitation was explicitly acknowledged and controlled through approximation schemes. However, in…
Moving away from an axiomatic approach in quantum physics. Derivation of the Klein – Gordon – Fock equation from first principles.
Quantum Mechanics (QM), postulated more than 100 years ago, became the most developed and used physical model, which allowed the construction of the Standard Model. However, it should be noted that all the basic equations of QM were postulated and therefore based on a set of axioms (we are talking about the Schrödinger equation, the…
No more reason for a dark matter day.
Dedicated to the Dark Matter Day. This brief report is based on the article “Gas kinetics of galactic disks explains rotation curves of S-type galaxies without a need for dark matter”, published in the International Journal of Modern Physics A (2022) v.37, 2250171. Here I explain some details and show that there is no need…
