McCaul's Law of Coherence Applied to Quantum Mechanics: Resolving the Measurement Problem, Schrödinger's Cat, Decoherence, and Quantum Tunneling

Key Points

• The aim is to apply McCaul's Law to resolve significant issues in quantum mechanics.
• Applied McCaul's Law (Ω = Φ) to the hydrogen 1s state (Φ = 1.0000) to analyze four quantum mechanics problems.
• Generated three testable predictions based on findings regarding measurement, decoherence, and quantum phenomena.
• Measurement Problem resolved as a coherence-selection event where collapse equals the highest-Φ state.
• Decoherence timescales determined as functions of ΔΦ between superposed states.
• Schrödinger's Cat scenario resolved with macroscopic ΔΦ = 0.84 making superposition unstable.
