Description and Table of Contents

Description

The concept of a classical object is analyzed and found to be deterministic. In order to remove inconsistencies, the object is taken as a classical random walk. Although such a definition leads to the theory of (special) relativity, it too is found to be inconsistent. Its resolution eventually leads first to the Schroedinger, and then to the Dirac equation. In the end it is found that the concept of the object itself, without interaction, cannot be the basic ontology of physics.
