Origin of inertia (mass) of "quantum mechanical probability waves" ("De Broglie waves" / "material waves"). A mathematical framework in quantum physics for the quantization of mass, electric charge and magnetic spin

Wim Vegt

This paper aims to prove and provide the mathematical proof that the "probability waves of quantum mechanics" (De Broglie waves / material waves) have mass. The "De Broglie waves" contain all the mass of all matter in our universe. What we measure in our complex experiments are only the "De Broglie waves" and never the illusory elementary particles. The "De Broglie waves" are the only vector of the observable (measurable) physical world. Elementary particles are the world-wide accepted physical concept for the last 2400 years since Democritus, a Greek philosopher (460 - 370 BC) introduced the fundamental concept of the atom (atomos). The "New Theory" presents a "New Equation" describing electromagnetic field configurations that are also solutions of the Schrödinger wave equation and the Dirac equation of relativistic quantum mechanics and that take mass, electric charge, and magnetic spin to discrete values.
