The zitterbewegung interpretation of quantum mechanics

In this short note, we try to show that inside a vortex like region, like a black hole one cane observe superluminosity which yields some interesting results. Also, we consider the zitterbewegung fluctuations to obtain an interpretation of quantum mechanics.

This paper presents a relativistic symmetrical interpretation of the Dirac equation in 1+1 dimensions which predicts no zitterbewegung for a free spin-1/2 particle. This could resolve the longstanding puzzle of zitterbewegung in relativistic quantum mechanics, and help clarify the physical meaning of the zitterbewegung currently under investigation in many-particle systems. Together with an earlier paper describing a relativistic symmetrical interpretation of the Klein-Gordon equation \cite{Heaney1}, this new interpretation resolves some inconsistencies in the conventional interpretations of both equations. This new interpretation also makes several experimental predictions that differ from the conventional interpretation of the Dirac equation.

This paper offers a philosophical-epistemological basis for the realist interpretation of quantum mechanics on the basis of the Zitterbewegung model of an electron. It does so by a detailed analysis of the logic and assumptions underpinning the mainstream (Copenhagen) interpretation of quantum mechanics. For ease of reference, we use the logic and analytical pieces which Richard Feynman developed for his Lectures on quantum mechanics for sophomore students.
