Wave 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 کاملFundamental 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 Particle Duality in General Relativity
In this paper a one to one correspondence is established between spacetime metrics of general relativity and the wave equations of quantum mechanics. This is done by first taking the square root of the metric associated with a space and from there, passing directly to a corresponding expression in the dual space. It is shown that in the case of a massless particle, Maxwell’s equation for a phot...
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 کاملQuantum Mechanics and the Metrics of General Relativity
A one-to-one correspondence is established between linearized space-time metrics of general relativity and the wave equations of quantum mechanics. Also, the key role of boundary conditions in distinguishing quantummechanics from classical mechanics, will emerge naturally from the procedure. Finally, we will find that the methodology will enable us to introduce not only test charges but also te...
