"I am in fact firmly convinced that the essentially statistical character of contemporary quantum theory is solely to be ascribed to the fact that this theory operates with an incomplete description of physical systems."

Acknowledgements
This web page would not exist without the generous and inspiring education I received from my doctoral dissertation advisor, Professor Sheldon Goldstein of Rutgers University Mathematical Physics.
Shelly is easily the most gregarious and kind-hearted physicist at Rutgers University, and without his aid, I would have certainly missed the joy of learning
so much about quantum foundations.
I would like to thank Mr. Phillip Edward Warnell , as well. The 10-year-long dialogue I had with
Phil is something I will never forget.
He has demonstrated a mature reverence for foundations of physics, and this is something quite rare.
The metamorphasis of my doctoral dissertation into PDF formatted version with hot-linked footnotes, references and
mathematical equations was done by Mr. Mike Porter. Many, many thanks to Mike
for allowing me to present my work.
The survey and web-counter which appear below were created with the help of Mediacom
cable internet service provider (high speed connect). I could not have installed the Mediacom service
as quickly and
painlessly without the extensive help
provided by my older brother, Professor Tom Hemmick of the SUNY Stony Brook Physics department. Thanks a million, Tom!
Endorsement
from family is always seen as suspect, but I'm sure you must be one of the best profs around, both
in research and in teaching.
