Four-dimensional understanding of quantum mechanics
Year: 2009
Type: preprint
Abstract: In this paper I will try to convince that quantum mechanics does not have to lead to indeterminism, but is just a natural consequence of four-dimensional na-ture of our world- that for example particles shouldn’t be imagined as ’moving points ’ in space, but as their trajectories in the spacetime like in optimizing action formulation of Lagrangian mechanics. There will be analyzed simplified model-Boltzmann distribution among trajectories occurs to give quantum mechanic like behavior- for example electron moving in proton’s potential would make some con-crete trajectory which average exactly to the probability distribution of the quantum mechanical ground state. We will use this model to build intuition about quantum mechanics and discuss its generalizations to get some effective approximation of physics. We will see that topological excitations of the simplest model obtained this way already creates known from physics particle structure, their decay modes and electromagnetic/gravitational interactions between them. 1
