Peter Pedersen was born in 1949 in Jutland, Denmark. He quickly became an avid reader and developed an interest in the sciences. He studied at Aarhus University, but became increasingly dissatisfied with quantum mechanics and the theory of relativity. As a consequence, he had neither opportunity to nor interest in pursuing a university career after his final exams in physics and astronomy. Instead, he became for some years a teacher in the Danish equivalent of grammar school or high school. He has continued his experimental and theoretical studies of physics, and the results can be found in this book.
According to the standard interpretation of quantum mechanics, the wave function is a pure mathematical entity with no other reality, than that its size renders the probability of observing a particle at a given position in space. The author, on the other hand, believes, that the wave field is very ...
