Abstract

In this paper one of possible methods how to build up a quantum-mechanics language on the classical logical base is presented.If a time variable is introduced in the formulae of the language, then some statements on complementary magnitudes of quantum mechanics can be formulated without any occurence of well known paradoxes.Quantum mechanics with its set of physical mathematical and semantic problems has been a source of basic discoussions and large generalizations.In this paper I will be dealing with a few questions concerned with the necessity of a special, non-classical "quantum logic" suggested by Hans Reichenbach.The question will be considered with from the semantic point of view.This special logic, according to Reichenbach is to be the base of quantum-mechanical language that enables to describe also the results of empirical operations with complementary magnitudes in a sphere of microworld.Its suggestion originated from some well known empirical initial points that used to be frequently published in special as well as popular literature.When striving for explanation of these empirically found facts the physicists faced difficulties of basic importance.In order to solve all these problems a number of drastic changes in physical, mathematical, logical and philosophical aspects of modern physics were suggested.Let us start our discourse with a short treatment of an empirical fact, which isin view of many authors -of basic importance when discussing quantum mechanics.In the next part of this discourse I will try to show that -under certain assumptions -logical difficulties originating from this fact can be solved on the base of classical logic, too.
