The Myth of Wave-Particle Duality: A Structured Vacuum Energy Perspective

Description

For over a century, wave-particle duality has been accepted as a fundamental principle in quantum mechanics, yet its contradictions remain unresolved. The double-slit experiment, photoelectric effect, and matter wave behavior have long been interpreted as proof that particles can behave as waves and vice versa. However, these interpretations are based on assumptions rather than fundamental truths.

This paper disproves wave-particle duality by introducing the Structured Vacuum Energy (SVE) model, which eliminates the paradox by replacing it with deterministic energy structuring. Instead of treating light and matter as dual entities, we propose that all quantum behavior arises from structured vacuum energy interactions.

Key Findings:

✔ Wave-Particle Duality is a Misinterpretation: Light and electrons do not "switch" between wave and particle states; they always exist as structured vacuum energy interactions.

✔ Photoelectric Effect Does Not Require Photons: Energy transfer occurs through vacuum energy redistribution, not photon-electron collisions.

✔ Double-Slit Experiment Reinterpreted: Interference patterns emerge because structured vacuum energy guides motion, not because of wave-particle switching.

✔ Matter Waves (de Broglie) Were a Forced Assumption: Electron diffraction is a vacuum energy structuring effect, not an intrinsic wave property of matter.

✔ Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle is a Measurement Effect: Quantum uncertainty is a consequence of ignoring structured vacuum interactions, not a fundamental property of nature.

✔ Quantum Mechanics is an Incomplete Approximation: The wavefunction is not real—it is a mathematical tool that compensates for the absence of structured vacuum energy modeling.

The Final Verdict:

This paper eliminates wave-particle duality from physics and replaces it with a deterministic structured vacuum energy framework. It resolves the contradictions of quantum mechanics, removes the need for photons, and redefines atomic interactions as structured energy redistributions.

Implications:

  • Quantum mechanics must be rewritten to incorporate structured vacuum energy instead of probabilistic wavefunctions.
  • Light must be modeled as a structured vacuum wave, not as a photon-particle.
  • The double-slit experiment must be reinterpreted as an energy structuring effect, not a wave-function collapse event.
  • This aligns with Chavan’s Grand Unified Theory of Physics (CGUTP), which eliminates force-based models and replaces them with energy structuring principles.

This is the final challenge to quantum mechanics. If physics is to move forward, it must abandon the myth of wave-particle duality and embrace structured vacuum energy dynamics.
