What is it that is Quantized in Quantum Mechanics?

Introduction

This article is part of a series of articles about the Karpinsky Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics. There is also The Karpinsky Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics Part 2.

In the article, I am going to show that we all have had the wrong idea about what is quantized in quantum mechanics. We have thought that the energy of a photon is quantized. We have thought that energy of an electron is quantized. We have thought that the energy of the other massive particles in the standard model are quantized . In this article, I hope to show you that this is wrong. The apparent quantization in energy is a result of a different quantized entity. That entity is called the probability amplitude in quantum mechanics. I prefer to call it the matter wave amplitude for massive particles because the probability comes from the noise in the quantum foam of free space.

Photons This is a link to an article about Photons.

Are photons quantized? Photons are created whenever a charged particle is accelerated or when an electron in an atom drops to a lower energy level. This results in a photon that is an electromagnetic wave that has no rest mass. We call it a photon because when it is emitted from an atom, it always has specific energy dependent on the type of atom and the energy levels in…
