[CENTER]The law of sufficient ground and its role in science [/CENTER]
In this article, from the perspective of classical philosophy, I explain why neither Newton's laws nor the laws of Coulomb's interaction of charges work in quantum mechanics. Then, from the same point of view, I explain the nature of the conflicting definitions of micro particles etc...
According to formal logic, all categories and laws in any science have scientific meaning only within the limits of the sufficient grounds on which they are identified, because only in this case, the scientific concepts and discovered laws retain their (unambiguous) identity as a necessary condition, on which the formal logic is based.
Many opponents to dialectical logic diminish or deny its importance, arguing that all the discoveries in science are made based on formal logic, without any assistance from dialectical logic. The perversity of this claim just shows that many philosophers and scientists do not understand the simple fact that the formal logic includes the most important element of dialectical logic: the law of sufficient ground, discovered by Leibniz....
[CENTER]The key features of the body:
Mass and Physical Field [/CENTER]
...But as soon as the physicists started to study in the quantum mechanics of the behavior of elementary particles, then there were a lot of questions why. For example, why Newton's laws do not work in the quantum mechanics , why the behavior of the likely charged particles contrary to the laws of Coulomb, why elementary particles posses the opposite properties: on the one hand, they are material, ie have mass, on the other hand, they behave like electromagnetic waves, why electrons, ultimately did not fall on the nucleus of an atom, and so forth. .. There are many more such examples in physics and astronomy, but I think that examples suffice to reflect the existing contradictions in the physics and astronomy.
Answers to all these WHY are in the simple fact that the basic property of the body, along with its Mass, is its the opposite property of being as physical field. Each mass creates a field, so the mass and the field are mutually determine the existence of each other.
In our daily lives we are dealing with bodies, a pattern of behavior of which is determined by their mass rather than their field, which is very weak and has no effect on their behavior. But if any body gets in a strong physical field, its behavior will be determined by its physical field and not by its mass. Take for example, levitation of frog in a strong magnetic field or a weightless astronaut in satellite.
.. We are so accustomed to one-sided definition of the body as a mass that we can not believe in weightlessness of the body, when it shows its dominance properties as the physical field.
[CENTER]The physical field as a new qualitative ground in quantum mechanics. [/CENTER]
....When we study the behavior of the body in the physical field in general (gravitational, electrostatic, electromagnetic, magnetic, nuclear, etc.), then it becomes a qualitative ground, in relation to which the laws of behavior of body are determined, and it is opposite to the qualitative ground which the classical mechanics is based on .
Further, the interaction of fields (the field of the body and the outside field) in relation to the interaction of the mass of body is the opposite qualitative ground , for this reason the laws of behavior of the body on the new basis would be at variance with the laws of behavior of the body, defined in relation to the old base (mass).
For example, what is common for all these fields is that the force with which they are operating on a physical field of the body does not depend on its mass.
Discovered by Galilei the law of free fall states that the force with which bodies are attracted to the earth (the movement of the body in a gravitational field) does not depend on their mass; or another example, on a particle with charge q, placed in an electric field with strength E, a force F = Eq and ect....
