Abstract
This work attempts a synthesis of the corpuscular and the wave properties of matter and radiation with-out the use of the statistical quantum mechanics. It is assumed that a spatially localized quantum of energy periodically switches between two states. One of these states can be manifested as a pulsating inert mass, and the other one can be an oscillating charge or spatially localized electric field. Such a model of ?blinking particles? explains both the wave properties of electrons and neutrons and the corpuscular behavior of radiation. It gives a basis to deduce expressions for the De Broglie wavelength and the pressure of light, as well as the Schr?dinger wave equation and the laws of black body radiation. It is shown that photon propagation in vac-uum obeys the Maxwell equations. The dependence of particle mass particle velocity and the dependence of photon frequency on radiation source velocity, obtained without the use of Lorentz transformations, are the same as in the theory of relativity. It is shown that, contrary to current belief, the photon has half-integer spin. A value of the proper magnetic moment of the electron is obtained to equal half of the Bohr magneton. The foundations of quantum mechanics are discussed critically from the viewpoint of the blinking-particle model.
