Fundamental Disagreement of Wave Mechanics with Relativity
(This work has been copyrighted with the Library of Congress) A number of well-known difficulties in physics resulted from merging the theory of relativity with the Compton-de Broglie wave mechanics. Two such problems were the failure of Dirac’s relativistic wave equation to predict the correct velocity of the electron, and the fact that the measured yield from nuclear fission was found to be s...
متن کاملWave Mechanics and General Relativity: a Rapprochement
Using exact solutions, we show that it is in principle possible to regard waves and particles as representations of the same underlying geometry, thereby resolving the problem of wave-particle duality.

متن کاملQuantum Mechanics and Relativity
In a framework of a stationary universe, time is de ned as a local and quantum-mechanical notion in the sense that it is de ned for each local and quantummechanical system consisting of a nite number of particles. In this context, the total universe consisting of an in nite number of particles has no time associated, and quantum mechanics and general theory of relativity are united consistently...
متن کاملTowards MIGO, the M atter-wave I nterferometric Gravitational-wave Observatory, and the Intersection of Quantum Mechanics with General Relativity
A dynamical, non-Euclidean spacetime geometry in general relativity theory implies the possibility of gravitational radiation. Here we explore novel methods of detecting such radiation from astrophysical sources by means of matter-wave interferometers (MIGOs), using atomic beams emanating from supersonic atomic sources that are further cooled and collimated by means of optical molasses. While t...
متن کاملWhy special relativity should not be a template for a fundamental reformulation of quantum mechanics
In a comparison of the principles of special relativity and of quantum mechanics, the former theory is marked by its relative economy and apparent explanatory simplicity. A number of theorists have thus been led to search for a small number of postulates—essentially information theoretic in nature—that would play the role in quantum mechanics that the relativity principle and the light postulat...
