Megascopic Quantum Phenomena
A Critical Study of Physical Interpretations
Michal Svrˇ cek
Abstract A historical study of metaphysical interpretations is presented. A
megascopic revalidation is offered providing responses and resolutions of current
inconsistencies and existing contradictions in present-day quantum theory. As the
core of this study we present an independent proof of the Goldstone theorem for a
quantum field formulation of molecules and solids. Along with phonons two types
of new quasiparticles appear: rotons and translons. In full analogy with Lorentz
covariance, combining space and time coordinates, a new covariance is necessary,
binding together the internal and external degrees of freedom, without explicitly
separating the centre-of-mass, which normally applies in both classical and quantum mechanical formulations. The generally accepted view regarding the lack of a
simple correspondence between the Goldstone modes and broken symmetries, has
significant consequences: an ambiguous BCS theory as well as a subsequent Higgs
mechanism. The application of the archetype of the classical spontaneous symmetry
breaking, i.e. the Mexican hat, as compared to standard quantum relations, i.e. the
Jahn-Teller effect, superconductivity or the Higgs mechanism, becomes a disparity.
In short, symmetry broken states have a microscopic causal origin, but transitions
between them have a teleological component. The different treatments of the problem of the centre of gravity in quantum mechanics and in field theories imply a
second type of Bohr complementarity on the many-body level opening the door for
megascopic representations of all basic microscopic quantum axioms with further readings for teleonomic megascopic quantum phenomena, which have no
microscopic rationale: isomeric transitions, Jahn-Teller effect, chemical reactions,
Einstein-de Haas effect, superconductivity-superfluidity, and brittle fracture. We
demonstrate how the megascopic extension of the microscopic theory deals with
the various paradoxes, such as the arrow of time, the Jordan-von Weizsäcker problem, to explain classicality, Santilli’s “no reduction theorem”, the Schrödinger cat
paradox and Wigner’s friend, and the Kauzmann paradox of residual entropy. Only
