The Wave Function and Quantum Reality

Shan Gao

We investigate the meaning of the wave function by analyzing the mass and charge density distribution of a quantum system. According to protective measurement, a charged quantum sy…

Is Gravity an Entropic Force?

Shan Gao

The remarkable connections between gravity and thermodynamics seem to imply that gravity is not fundamental but emergent, and in particular, as Verlinde suggested, gravity is proba…

A conjecture on the origin of dark energy

Shan Gao

The physical origin of holographic dark energy (HDE) is investigated. The main existing explanations, namely the UV/IR connection argument of Cohen et al, Thomas' bulk holography a…

Why gravity is fundamental

Shan Gao

It is argued that the existence of a minimum size of spacetime may imply the fundamental existence of gravity as a geometric property of spacetime described by general relativity.

From quantum motion to classical motion - seeking the lost reality

Gao Shan

We show that the natural motion of particles in continuous space-time (CSTM) is not classical continuous motion (CCM), but one kind of essentially discontinuous motion, the wave fu…
