Discovering the certainty mechanism behind Uncertainty Principle

Mechanism-Revealed Physics (9/40) ------ by Bingcheng Zhao

What is the certainty mechanism behind Uncertainty Principle? The task of discovering and quantifying the certainty mechanism behind Uncertainty Principle has been finished in 3.10, Ch.3C (P. 287 ~ 309, reference #1). Based on the newly established certainty mechanism equations behind Uncertainty Principle [Eq (3-19) to Eq (3-22), (P. 292 ~ P. 295, reference #1)], the certainty mechanism behind the uncertainty in the momentum and position of electron is electron-photon work-energy relation, and the magnitude of the certainty mechanism over the scope of an electron’s one complete impulse period is equal to the value of Planck constant h (P. 293, reference #1); the certainty mechanism behind the uncertainty in energy and time of electron is also electron-photon work-energy relation, and the magnitude of the certainty mechanism over the scope of an electron’s one complete impulse period is equal to the value of Planck constant h either (P. 295, reference #1). The newly established certainty mechanism equation in momentum-position uncertainty is on P. 292 as Eq (3-19) (Ch.3C, reference #1).

The newly established certainty mechanism equation has been corroborated via the corroboration of electron-photon work-energy equation (P. 256 ~ 258, 3.4.3, Ch.3A, reference #1).

The key to understanding of the certainty mechanism behind Uncertainty Principle: (i) the following two essentially important questions: since Uncertainty Principle is widely recognized and accepted as one of the three fundamental theoretical pillars in (postulate-based) quantum physics, is there certainty mechanism behind Uncertainty Principle? If the answer is YES, then what is the certainty mechanism? (ii) The newly established and verified electron-photon work-energy equation (relation) (P. 254, reference #1), and the newly established Planck constant Equation (P. 279, reference #1).

The profound implications of revealing and quantifying the certainty mechanism behind Uncertainty Principle: (i) the certainty mechanism behind Uncertainty Principle is fundamentally important, because Uncertainty Principle is widely recognized as one of the most fundamental and influential principles in quantum physics, particularly in quantum mechanics. (ii) The certainty mechanism behind Uncertainty Principle is substantially helpful for an in-depth understanding of the essential connection in the micro world described in quantum physics.
