A Crackpot's Vision of Future Physics: Quantum Physics

Yes, this model suggests quantum physics isn't quite right, or perhaps more accurately is a simplification.  How do we go about using quantum physics?

First, the perturbation model is key.  That model works quite perfectly in this framework.

Second, Hamiltonian operators, the mathematical mechanism of incorporating the "quantum" from quantum physics... also continue to work perfectly.  They're still the only non-neglible energy under consideration.  All energy below the quantum level has no macroscopic ramifications, until and unless it achieves the quantum minimum, at which point a configuration change occurs, and a quantum event - specifically some energy emission at a quantum scale - takes place.

Virtual particles get interesting, or rather, stop being interesting, which I think is more interesting.  Since all interactions between mass in this model is the result of the interactions between mass waves, most interactions have a mutuality component.  The virtual particle, traveling backwards in time, is a mathematical fix for a model which represents interactions as arising from particle interactions - A affects B simultaneously to B affecting A, and a mathematical representation of the interaction that describes information passing from A to B necessarily needs B to transmit information to A.  Because the information has locality limits, however, the math only works if the virtual particle travels backwards in time to arrive back at A at the same time it "emitted the force carrier particle" that would eventually arrive at B.  Virtual particles are just a fix to make the mathematical model arrive at the correct conclusion.

By and large, quantum mechanics remains surprisingly unchanged.  The subtle shift from "Energy only comes in multiples of X" to "Energy below X has no effect" would be far more significant if not for uncertainty; with uncertainty, the model already accounts for occasional unexpected energy emissions.

What about uncertainty?  I am honestly not certain.  It seems to persist in electron double-slit experiments, if nowhere else.  We'll devote a section to uncertainty however.
