Drl Vlasak: "One has to question the general use of unnecessary and disconcerting buzz words that are appearing in ever increasing numbers to describe mathematical terms or equations. For instance, the word "quantum" is often excessively sprinkled throughout many current technical papers, and yet it is not well-defined in the literature. The problem of defining this word was resolved in my fourth book by deriving a picture of a quantum of energy in real time.

The reason for placing emphasis on the exact definition of this fuzzy word is that it is fundamental to the understanding of basic science. Planck did not use this word in the 1900 presentation of his radiation theory. Such distractions result in confusion, and they serve no useful purpose, although certain publication editors seem to love it. Planck did not need to use it, and although his investigations were rigorous and detailed, he made his explanations as simple and clear as possible for all equations, rather than making them cloudy and ill-defined. Associating enumerable names with equations should be reserved mainly for the most important laws of physics."

Schrodinger's equation is at the heart of quantum mechanics. Unfortunately, it is often misinterpreted to various degrees. A spatial wave is a function of time and space. The Mesny equations were re-written and put in the form of the wave equation in my radiation paper. This electromagnetic radiation wave equation is in the same form of the solution to Schrodinger's equation for a "free particle" moving through space! That seems a bit confusing, doesn't it? This is a problem that often occurs with solving second-order partial differential equations. You can believe in the antenna radiation equation, since it is based completely on measurements. On the other hand, the solution of a hyperbolic partial differential equation is sensitive to the coefficients of the equation (Courant and Hilbert, Methods of Mathematical Physics, Vol. II), and relating the coefficients to real world phenomena can be even more difficult than solving the equation. For the Schrodinger equation, it is assumed that the free particle travels only in the positive direction of x, and that the coefficient of one of the eigenvectors is zero. This is almost comical. The result is nonsensical. The absolute value of the wave equation becomes a "probability distribution". The conclusion is that there is no ability to predict the position of the particle for any value of x. It has the same value probability of being anywhere on the x-axis. We are now lost before we even start. The belief is that it is impossible to make a determination. Again, the solution to this problem is available through the process of characterization that can be obtained through the laws of measurable physics regarding electromagnetic fields and measurements, wherein various models have been established. I wrote a technical paper assaulting this difficult problem and derived a model of the moving electron in an electric field. The paper was submitted to a large scientific society, but was turned down by one of two reviewers because it did not fully comply with the methods of quantum mechanics. Well, that seems to eliminate any and alll possible future progess to correct the problems inherent in the methods of quantum mechanics. Einstein and Planck would have been appalled at this attitude, since they both believed that future progress, which would advance and change course, depends on measurements and that all scientific theories must conform thereto."

"Will the road of advance again make a sharp turn, as it has so often done in the past?"

"The technology of today would be impossible without the aid of theoretical physics. . . . On the other hand, the mistake of overestimating the achievements of theoretical physics appears to me to be much more dangerous, and this danger is particularly threatened by those who have penetrated comparatively little into the heart of the subject. . . . Let us follow the middle course."
