Physical Laws without Physics vs Unified Field Theory

Standard Quantum Mechanics StdQM as one of the two pillars of modern physics, is based on concepts of formal rather than physical nature decribing the microscopic world of atoms: 
  • Hilbert space
  • observable as Hermitian operator
  • Pauli Exclusion Principle
  • antisymmetric and symmetric wave functions, fermions
  • indistinguishable electrons 
  • Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
  • wave-particle duality
  • complementarity
  • wave function as probability
  • unitary transformation
  • collapse of the wave function
  • kinetic energy without motion
  • exchange integral
  • Slater determinant
  • Gaussian.
We may compare with classical (macroscopic) physics with basic concepts: 
  • force
  • mass 
  • kinetic energy 
  • potential energy
  • work
  • position, displacement
  • velocity
  • acceleration
  • physical extension
  • volume
  • density
  • temperature.
We see that StdQM appears to be fundamentally different from classical physics as if the atomic world cannot be described and understood in terms of the same concepts as the macroscopic world. 

Real Quantum Mechanics RealQM offers a different picture with the microscopic world described and made understandable in terms of the same concepts as the macroscopic world, just on a smaller scale, both as forms of continuum mechanics with the continuum carrying all scales. 

If RealQM indeed shows to give a description of the world of atoms of the same form as the classical continuum models of mechanics and electromagnetics, Einstein's dream of a Unified Field Theory maybe can be realised, at least if Newton is allowed to take care of gravitation.

  1. I understand that you have excluded the Pauli exclusion principle as if Pauli was a spin-doctor inventing the spin on spin. Spin of electrons is, however, considered to create magnetism. I think that you in an earlier post has not excluded spin entirely. What in your opinion is creating magnetism, and how?
