Relativistic equations were derived of the motion of a continuous, electrically and mesically charged substance obeying the simple diffusion law and moving in a constant external electrical scalar potential. The relevant equation of continuity is presupposed with the right side different from zero, corresponding to the internal sources of matter. It is shown that if the matter distribution satisfies this equation of continuity, the gradient of the external potential is just compensated by the inner potential gradient of the electrically charged matter. In this case, the acceleration of the substance is zero and all dynamical variables are time independent. Thus, the validity of the equation of continuity has to be considered as a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of steady, time independent distribution of the continuous substance density. Our considerations are limited to continua with spins equal zero because the osmotic velocity satisfies the simple diffusion law. The simplest way to find a solution of the nonlinear equation of continuity is its linearization, leading directly to the Schrodinger equation for steady bound states, from which the eigenvalues can be obtained. Substituting the latter into the nonlinear equation of continuity, one can reveal its solution.

By introducing in the Euler equation non mechanical (mesic) force densities equal to the products of corresponding potentials and gradient of the matter density, and supposing that the dynamical process has a diffusion character, the equation of continuity with internal sources (both positive and negative) is obtained. These sources are proportional to the algebraical sum of electrostatic, kinetic and proper energy densities, the constant of proportionality being the inverse value of the diffusion constant D = h/2m, taken with negative sign. The stationary state is obtained if the solution of the continuity equation holds in any point of the object, which is possible only for discrete values of the constant E with dimension of energy, entering in the equation of continuity. The equation of continuity can be transformed to the Bohm equation with the quantum potential, which may be solved by reducing it to the corresponding Schrodinger equation. Thus the spatial Concepts of Physics, Vol. V, No. 3 (2008) DOI: 10.2478/v10005-007-0043-6 499 distribution of the density of matter is given by the square of the Schrodinger wave function. Once the density distribution function is known, the velocity ~u in the diffusion process can be calculated and the process is deterministic. Superimposed to the diffusion process is the classical motion with velocity ~v, for which the equation of continuity without internal sources of matter holds. 500 Concepts of Physics, Vol. V, No. 3 (2008) Discrete states of continuous electrically charged matter
Many authors have attempted to derive the fundamental equations of quantum mechanics from classical hydrodynamics. In the present contribution we presume that the continuous, electrically charged material substance moves simultaneously under the influence of the electric field and at the same time undergoes a diffusion process. This assumption leads to the appearance of non-mechanical (mezic) type forces responsible for inner sources of matter (positive or negative), similar to those whose existence is supposed to exist in relativistic hydrodynamics. We obtained a non-linear differential equation, convertible by linearization to a form coinciding with the Schrödinger equation, as a condition for the establishment of the same steady states with discrete energies.
In (1), it is argued that the Schrodinger (nonrelativistic) quantum equation may be developed from steady state type classical equations linked to the continuity equation and Newton’s second law. Given the nonrelativistic treatment of (1), F=dp/dt = d/dt (mv) = m dv/dt partial + mv dv/dx. In (1) an equation (III.2) for many particles is obtained from the equation for a single particle: Md (dv/dt partial + v dot grad v) = dF + hbarhbar/4m grad dot (grad grad d - 1/d (grad d) (grad d) ). In (1), it is further assumed that v = grad (phi) for conservative forces, where phi is a function of x,t. One may then see that for d=1 case, for a single particle, that phi= -Et+px and that one may write a Schrodinger equation which is essentially a conservation of energy equation. Here, we consider starting with dp/dt=Force and using a special relativistic treatment. We note that for a conservative force, F = -grad V and suggest trying to write the LHS in terms of a gradient for a free particle so the gradient may be “pulled out” from both sides of dp/dt=F. From a physical point of view, F is a pull or push, but we argue that V (potential) is also physical and that given that p is almost like a force, that there should be meaning to p= grad phi(x,t). This is the basis premise. In the case, F=0, we show that one may obtain -EE + p dot p = constant via this approach which involves writing p = d/dx (-Et+px) (one dimension). We note that associating dp/dt = F with a Lorentz invariant -Et+px shows the close association of Newton’s second law with special relativity because dp/dt=Force is relativistic as long as p=mov/sqrt(1-vv/cc). We suggest that this approach associates operators id/dt partial and -i grad partial (hbar=1) with E and p and allows one to write a free particle equation (Klein-Gordon) in terms of exp(-iEt+ipx), which is a quantum form. We suggest that one way in which to see free particle quantum mechanics emerge (albeit in the simplest case-that of a free relativistic particle) is to try to consider dp/dt in terms of a gradient suggesting that there may be x, t features even for E,p constant. In Newtonian mechanics, a constant E and p immediately implies that derivatives are 0. This need not be the case if one considers p = d/dx (-Et+px). The legitimacy of considering p (which is closely linked to a force) is linked to the legitimacy of considering F = -grad V. In other words, V is a potential which is another way of considering the features of a force and p = d/dx (-Et+px) may mean that -Et+px (and exp(-iEt+ipx) may be another way of considering p,E at a deeper level than simply stating that one has a constant E,p for a free particle. We argue that one does not need to consider a continuity equation as done in (1) and that the full approach follows from analysis of a single free particle (constant E,p) in the special relativistic case, which then yields also the nonrelativistic one.
In a previous paper, we showed that the Hamilton equations of motion of a quantum particle are obtained as group velocities of the wave packet describing this particle only if the time dependent phase of a particle wave is proportional to the Lagrangian, not to the Hamiltonian as in a solution of the conventional Schrodinger equation. When a Lagrangian of relativistic form is considered, the wave packet of a quantum particle takes a physical form, with a finite spectrum of a cut off velocity (c). Based on a relativistic quantum principle, asserting the invariance of the time dependent phase for an arbitrary change of coordinates, we obtained the relativistic kinematics and dynamics, the electromagnetic field equations, the spin and the electromagnetic and gravitational interactions. When the Lagrangian is considered as a function of the Hamiltonian, we obtain a Schrodinger type equation with an additional term depending on the velocity and the momentum operator. Based on this equation, we investigate the dynamics of a relativistic quantum particle. In this framework, such a particle is described as a continuous distribution of conservative matter, according to the general theory of relativity. In an electromagnetic field, any time dependent phase variation is modified with a term proportional to a vector potential conjugated to the spatial coordinates and a scalar potential conjugated to time. However, this classical description tells us nothing about the structure of the physical world. Only Quantum Mechanics tells us something about the structure of this world. Namely, that this world is composed of species of identical quantum particles. On one hand, experimentally, it has been found that these particles are of a wavy nature. On the other hand, one could find that the simplest way to define a quantum particle is by a wave packet, with momenta conjugated to coordinates and energy conjugated to time Consider a quantum particle as a wave packet, and find that the group velocities in the coordinate and momentum spaces are in agreement with the Hamilton equations only when the Lagrangian is considered in the time dependent phases, instead of the Hamiltonian in the conventional forms of these waves as solutions of the Schrodinger equation. We define a relativistic quantum principle, and derive a wave equation for a relativistic quantum particle, the relativistic kinematics and dynamics of the particle waves, the Maxwell equations and the Lorentz force of a field interacting with the particle waves, the relativistic transform of such a field, and the spin as a characteristic of the particle waves. We consider a quantum particle as a distribution of conservative matter propagating according to the General Theory of Relativity. We obtain the dynamics of this matter in a gravitational field, the propagation in plane waves perpendicular to geodesic tracks, and equations of conservation. We describe the matter dynamics as a positively defined density and show that, according to the general theory of relativity, such a distribution can be conceive only as of a fragment of matter with a finite mass equal to a mass , as a characteristic of the matter dynamics, – the matter quantization. The group velocities of the Fourier conjugate representations in the coordinate and momentum spaces describe the dynamics of a quantum particle in agreement with the Hamiltonian equations. Under the action of an external (non-gravitational) field, the acceleration of the quantum matter has two components: 1) A component perpendicular to the velocity, given by the relativistic mechanical component of the time dependent phase, and 2) A component given by the additional field terms of this phase. A free quantum particle is described by a non-dispersing wave function , contrary to the solution of the Schrodinger equation. A coherent electromagnetic field, in resonance with a system of active quantum particles in a Fabry-Perot cavity, has a wave vector approximately proportional to the metric elements, as the resonance frequency is approximately constant – a gravitational wave can be detected by the transmission characteristics of an active Fabry-Perot cavity. In a constant gravitational field, a quantum particle undertakes a velocity and an acceleration, which, at the boundary of a black hole are null – absorption and evaporation processes at the boundary of a black hole arise only by gravitational perturbations. Generally, a quantum particle is described by a time-space volume, called graviton, with a spin 2, and a distribution of a specific matter in this volume, with a half-integer spin for Fermions and an integer spin for Bosons. A graviton Lagrangian is obtained as a curvature integral on a graviton volume, and a Hamiltonian tensor is obtained for the gravitational coordinates and velocities. In a gravitational field, the time space coordinates are deformed. In such a field, any plane wave remains perpendicular geodesic, while an additional acceleration is possible in the wave plane.
Essentially, we solve the particle-field equations obtained in the matter distribution quantum mechanics. In the framework of this theory, a particle is described by a density amplitude function, we call wave function, as a packet of waves with the time dependent phases proportional to the relativistic Lagrangian. The mass quantization of such a particle, as a distribution of matter, is obtained from the equality of the spatial integral of the density with the mass as a characteristic of the relativistic dynamics of this matter. The particle dynamics, as a motion of a mass spatial distribution, is obtained from the equality of the wave propagation velocities with the distribution coordinate velocities. This description is a physical one, compared to the Schrödinger-Heisenberg description leading to unphysical results as a null velocity for the kinetic energy as a constant of motion, or Zitterbewegung. The description of a particle interaction with an electromagnetic field by additional Lagrangian terms, with a vector potential conjugated to coordinates, as in the Aharonov-Bohm effect, and an electric potential conjugated to time, leads to the Lorentz force, and the Maxwell equations. In the two conjugated spaces, of the coordinates and of the momentum, the dynamics of a quantum particle is described by propagation operators, depending on the coordinate-momentum product, applied to time dependent wave functions satisfying matter-field equations. Unlike the standard Schrödinger or Schrödinger-Dirac equations, depending only on the Hamiltonian operator, instead of the Hamiltonian these equations contain the Lagrangian, which, besides the Hamiltonian, include additional terms with an explicit dependence on velocity, as it is expected in a relativistic theory. We obtain the wave function of a particle-antiparticle system interacting with an electromagnetic field, as a wave packet of spinors propagating in space with finite dimensions, given by the finite definition domain of the density function, in the space of the matter-field momentum, as a constant of motion. We show that an electrically charged quantum particle, rotating in a central electric field, generates a vector potential with a magnetic field perpendicular to the rotational plane and an electric field in this plane. By a quantum transition, a photon is emitted in the particle rotational plane, with the magnetic field perpendicular to this plane, and the electric field contained in this plane. In this framework, the vector potential rotation is correlated to a particle momentum rotation, for the canonical matter-field momentum as a constant of motion, without any electromagnetic field radiated outside.
We first recall that the system of fluid mechanics equations (Euler and continuity) that describes a fluid in irrotational motion subjected to a generalized quantum potential (depending on a constant which may be different from the standard quantum constant ℏ) is equivalent to a generalized Schrödinger equation for a 'wavefunction' whose modulus squared yields the fluid density. Then we show that even in the case of the presence of vorticity, it is also possible to obtain a nonlinear Schrödinger-like equation (now of the vectorial field type) from the continuity and Euler equations including a quantum potential. The same kind of transformation also applies to a classical charged fluid subjected to an electromagnetic field and to an additional potential having the form of a quantum potential. Such a fluid can therefore be described by an equation of the Ginzburg–Landau type, and is expected to show some superconducting-like properties. Moreover, a Schrödinger form can be obtained for a fluctuating rotational motion of a solid. In this case the mass is replaced by the tensor of inertia, and a generalized form of the quantum potential is derived. We finally reconsider the case of a standard diffusion process, and we show that, after a change of variable, the diffusion equation can also be given the form of a continuity and Euler system including an additional potential energy. Since this potential is exactly the opposite of a quantum potential, the quantum behavior may be considered, in this context, as an anti-diffusion.
