Temporal extension of particles to interpret and intuitively describe quantum symmetries and related quantum and relativistic phenomena

Abstract

The paper proposes the theory of temporal extension for fundamental particles as a key to intuitively interpret and understand quantum symmetries and related quantum and relativistic phenomena. While space-time as a principal world view is accepted and utilized in fundamental theories, certain traditional concepts of time have not been challenged before. Such a conception is the view that physical objects can only have a point like feature on the time line. When introducing a more space like quality of time, which allows the temporal extension for physical objects and particles, a fundamentally new world view arises. In this view quantum symmetries and certain relativistic phenomena become more intuitive to describe and deal with and realism gets a new definition. As a result the temporal length theory also offers to eliminate the tension between the nonlocality of quantum physics and the locality of relativistic phenomena. The paper provides a detailed description of the theory.

Theory of Temporal Relativity

Alessio Piccinotti

The Theory of Temporal Relativity proposes a unified theoretical framework that extends Special and General Relativity into the complex domain, integrating aspects of Quantum Mechanics within a single geometrical structure. The theory introduces a generalized Hilbert-space geometry and interprets quantum states as observer-dependent, arising from complex temporal relations between reference frames. Theory of Temporal Relativity is a theoretical framework proposing a unified extension of Special and General Relativity into the complex domain, with the goal of incorporating aspects of Quantum Mechanics within a consistent geometrical model. The theory generalizes Hilbert-space geometry and relativistic invariance to complex coordinates, introducing observer-dependent descriptions of physical quantities and a reinterpretation of quantum states as complex-phase relations between reference frames. Within this model, fundamental constants such as c, G, and h are not strictly universal but can exhibit apparent local variations arising from the observer’s position in the complex spacetime manifold. These variations preserve global covariance and CPT symmetry while reconciling quantum non-locality with relativistic kinematics. The framework predicts experimentally testable effects, including measurable phase shifts in interferometric experiments, possible frequency modulations in non-inertial systems, and small local deviations of physical constants detectable in condensed-matter and gravitational contexts. The supplementary work, “Quantum Uncertainty, Planck’s Constant, and Ontological Insights from Complex Spacetime Geometry and Local Metric Deformations”, develops the principle of Temporal Relativity as a foundational element of the theory. It formalizes the connection between quantum uncertainty, metric deformations, and complex temporal structures, within an alternative logical framework (AU). This extension provides both an ontological interpretation of the wavefunction and a basis for the emergence of quantum indeterminacy from geometric causes. Together, these works present a coherent attempt to unify the relativistic and quantum domains under a single complex-geometric view of spacetime, maintaining mathematical rigor while providing clear experimental pathways for empirical validation.

Quantum Mechanics in Terms of Realism

Arthur Jabs

We expound an alternative to the Copenhagen interpretation of the formalism of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics. The basic difference is that the new interpretation is formulated in the language of epistemological realism. It involves a change in some basic physical concepts. The ψ function is no longer interpreted as a probability amplitude of the observed behavior of an elementary particle but as an objective physical field representing the particle itself. The particles are thus extended objects whose extension varies in time according to the variation of ψ. They are considered as fundamental regions of space with no internal structure. This implies some kind of nonlocality. Symmetrization of the configuration space wave function is interpreted as a mathematical description of a physical process, which also leads to nonlocal effects. Special consideration

Basic Concepts for a Quantum Mechanical Theory of Events

Kim J. Bostroem

A physical theory is proposed that obeys both the principles of special relativity and of quantum mechanics. As a key feature, the laws are formulated in terms of quantum events rather than of particle states. Temporal and spatial coordinates of a quantum event are treated on equal footing, namely as self-adjoint operators on a Hilbert space. The theory is not based upon Lagrangian or Hamiltonian mechanics, and breaks with the concept of a continuously flowing time. The physical object under consideration is a spinless particle exposed to an external potential. The theory also accounts for particle-antiparticle pair creation and annihilation, and is therefore not a single-particle theory in the usual sense. The Maxwell equations are derived as a straightforward consequence of certain fundamental commutation relations. In the non-relativistic limit and in the limit of vanishing time uncertainty, the Schrödinger equation of a spinless particle exposed to an external electromagnetic field is obtained.

Wave Function Interpretation and Quantum Mechanics Equations

Andrey V. Novikov-Borodin

The quantum mechanics description of a physical object stretched in space and stable in time from the relativistic space-time properties point of view, introduced in special theory of relativity, is considered and analysed. The mathematical model of physical objects is proposed. This model gives a possibility to unite a description of corpuscular and wave properties of real physical objects, i.e. fields and particles. There are substantiated an approach and a mathematical pattern which give a possibility to describe physical object not only in causal, but also in absolute remote fields of the Minkowski space. Applying the proposed approach to the microcosm description, one can get the equations that in passage to the limit transfer to such quantum mechanics equations as Schrodinger, Klein-Gordon-Fock and in particular case - the wave equation. The event nature of the received equations is discussed. It is shown that all mentioned equations reflect the space-time relativistic properties during the description of the invariant and non-invariant physics object characteristics.
