Abstract
The paper addresses the problem, which quantum mechanics resolves in
fact. Its viewpoint suggests that the crucial link of time and its
course is omitted in understanding the problem. The common
interpretation underlain by the history of quantum mechanics sees
discreteness only on the Plank scale, which is transformed into
continuity and even smoothness on the macroscopic scale. That approach
is fraught with a series of seeming paradoxes. It suggests that the
present mathematical formalism of quantum mechanics is only partly
relevant to its problem, which is ostensibly known. The paper accepts
just the opposite: The mathematical solution is absolute relevant and
serves as an axiomatic base, from which the real and yet hidden problem
is deduced. Wave-particle duality, Hilbert space, both probabilistic and
many-worlds interpretations of quantum mechanics, quantum information,
and the Schrödinger equation are included in that base. The Schrödinger
equation is understood as a generalization of the law of energy
conservation to past, present, and future moments of time. The deduced
real problem of quantum mechanics is: “What is the universal law
describing the course of time in any physical change therefore including
any mechanical motion?”
