Revisiting Quantum Theories with Megascopic Quantum Phenomena

         



            

        This study presents a critical analysis of the Copenhagen interpretation in quantum mechanics, focusing on megascopic quantum phenomena. It addresses limitations in the traditional interpretation, particularly regarding the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. While the Born-Oppenheimer method separates electronic and nuclear motion, capturing spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB), exact quantum mechanical solutions do not.

        The author proposes an innovative approach to reconcile quantum mechanics with quantum field theory by integrating vibrational, translational, and rotational degrees of freedom, akin to the Lorentz transformation in relativity. This perspective challenges established theories, such as BCS superconductivity and the Higgs mechanism, by questioning their reliance on an incomplete quantum field theory. The study argues that true understanding lies in recognizing the distinct domains of physics (microscopic) and chemistry (megascopic), each governing unique aspects of matter.

        Key insights include the necessity for a "megascopic mirror" of the Copenhagen interpretation, offering explanations for complex quantum phenomena that do not adhere to microscopic frameworks. This approach not only redefines the scope of quantum chemistry but also opens doors for exploring the philosophical implications of quantum phenomena on a broader scale.
