Wave-particle duality: A proposed resolution
@article{Pons2012WaveparticleDA, title={Wave-particle duality: A proposed resolution}, author={Dirk J Pons and Arion Pons and Ariel M. Pons and Aiden J. Pons}, journal={Physics Essays}, year={2012}, volume={25}, pages={132-140} }
There are several integration problems of fundamental physics that still lack coherent solutions, the case in point being wave-particle duality. While empiricism and mathematical modelling have served physics well, they have not yet been able to achieve integrated causal models. Conventional theories and approaches have only provided partial solutions, and it is possible that a more radical reconceptualisation of fundamental physics may be required. This work comes at the issue from a totally…

Problem-Energy conversion processes in optical phenomena are incompletely explained by wave theory or quantum mechanics. There is a need for ontologically rich explanations at the level of individual…
Pair Production Explained in a Hidden Variable Theory

Conventional particle and wave theories struggle to explain the frequency of photons and matter in a coherent manner using natural physics. This paper applies the cordus conjecture to develop a model…
Cordus Conjecture: Part 1.1 Quis es tu Photon?
