Maybe my last post to sci.physics 8^(

Should be on a plane to Korea tonight and if it comes down hard and I become fishfood I would like to both say goodby to sci.physics and put down some unfinished thoughts.

I have "gone down the drain" many years ago,

http://myridedownfeynmansdrain.netfirms.com/main.html

The books have been closed for too many years and thoughts have been elsewhere, the question remains unanswered (maybe unanswerable).

"One might still like to ask: "How does it work? What is the machinery behind the law?" No one has found any machinery behind the law. No one can "explain" any more than we have just "explained". No one will give you any deeper representation of the situation. We have no ideas about a more basic mechanism from which these results can be deduced. ... And no one has figured a way out of this puzzle. So at the present time we must limit ourselves to computing probabilities. We say "at the present time," but we suspect very strongly that it is something that will be with us forever--that it is impossible to beat that puzzle--that this is the way nature really is." (The Feynman Lectures on Physics, Vol. III, page 1-10.)

"...Do not keep saying to yourself, if you can possibly avoid it, "But how can it be like that?' because you will get "down the drain" into a blind alley from which nobody has yet escaped. Nobody knows how it can be like that." (Taken from "The transactional interpretation of quantum mechanics" by John G. Cramer, in Reviews of Modern Physics, Volume 58, Number 3, July 1986, page 647, which in turn was quoted from "The Character of Physical Law" by R. P. Feynman, page 129.)

This I believe was Feynman's challenge to us, come up with a mental picture of spacetime and matter that implies the present mathematical physics which very correctly describes nature ( well, they are still working on quantum gravity)and in doing so figure out "How it does work".

Things to think about ( please post what you consider clues to solving this puzzle).

De Broglie's thesis,

From: http://www.davis-inc.com/physics/

"First, he assumed that there is always associated with a particle of mass m a periodic internal phenomenon of frequency ƒ [ƒ, rather than the traditional Greek letter "nu", is used here for purposes of compatibility with web browsers]. For a particle at rest, he equated the rest mass energy mc² to the energy of the quantum of the electromagnetic field hƒ. "

Starting with this we get the quantum mechanics of a single particle, very good.

But how do you extend this idea to a cluster of particles such as a large molecule which exhibets interference? Many "internal clocks" which somehow act together for purposes of interference of a clock with frequency related to the total energy. Is this also somehow related to how total angular momentum is quantized? Is this a property of space or of matter.
