Basic Paradoxes of Statistical Classical Physics and Quantum Mechanics

Abstract

movement of large bodies, such as planets or stones. The described two theories are known and well studied for a long time. Nevertheless, they contain a number of paradoxes. It forces many scientists to doubt about internal consistency of these theories. However, the given paradoxes can be resolved within the framework of the existing physics, without introduction of new laws. To make the paper clear even for the inexperienced reader, we enter in this paper some necessary basic concepts of statistical physics and quantum mechanics without use of formulas. Necessary exact formulas and explanations to them can be found in Appendices. For better understanding of the text, it is supplemented by illustrations. Further in the paper the paradoxes underlying thermodynamics and quantum mechanics are discussed. The approaches to solution of these paradoxes are suggested. The first one relies on the influence of the external observer (environment) which disrupts the correlations in the system. The second one is based on the limits of self-knowledge of the system for the case when both the external observer and the environment are included in the considered system. The concepts of Observable Dynamics, Ideal Dynamics, and Unpredictable dynamics are introduced. The phenomenon of complex (living) systems is contemplated from the point of view of these Dynamics.
