Internal-time in Quantum Mechanics: thickness of time

Published May 23, 2017• 0 citations

Abstract

This paper aims to construct a falsifiable model of an internal dimension of time that fits the observed results, that maximizes simplicity for explaining different quantum phenomena such as superposition, measurement and entanglement, that does not contradict the established principles and laws of the quantum mechanics and that predicts new testable features or phenomena.

Simple alternative interpretation of some quantum features

Salim Yasmineh

Some quantum properties such as the behaviour of particles through a double-slit plate seem to defy common logic. According to the double-slit experiment, sequential, separate and independent impacts of particles on the screen produce an interference pattern when both slits are open and produce no such pattern when detectors are placed at the slits. Another strange phenomena concerns entanglement where the constituents of a system cannot be described independently. In this paper we conjecture a falsifiable three-dimensional-time model that fits the observed results and that seems to maximize simplicity for explaining some quantum properties without contradicting the established principles and laws of quantum mechanics.

Modern Quantum Temporal Framework A Foundational Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics

hassan ali hassan alanbki, taha ali hassan alanbki

This work introduces a foundational interpretive framework for quantum mechanics based on a single organizing principle: the temporal mismatch between observer and system. The framework proposes three fundamental laws of quantum time, explaining quantum indeterminacy, wavefunction collapse, entanglement, and the quantum–classical transition without modifying the mathematical formalism of quantum mechanics. Quantum behavior is interpreted not as intrinsic disorder, but as a consequence of observing systems whose intrinsic dynamical time scales differ radically from the temporal resolution of measurement. This work is intended as a conceptual and foundational contribution, offering a unified interpretive structure for ongoing discussions in the foundations of quantum mechanics. The framework is operationally defined and falsifiable in principle, though not directly testable with current experimental capabilities.

Simple interpretation of the double-slit experiment

Salim Yasmineh

This paper aims to understand how sequential, separate and independent impacts of particles on the screen of a double-slit experiment produce an interference pattern when both slits are open and how no such pattern is produced when detectors are placed at the slits. These strange phenomena can be explained by conjecturing the existence of a certain " thickness " of time. This conjecture is falsifiable, fits the observed results and maximizes simplicity for explaining other quantum phenomena without contradicting the established principles and laws of quantum mechanics.

Lamp Bead-Glow Model: A Realist Inquiry into a Unified Framework for Quantum Mechanics and Gravity(Revised Version 2.0)

Zhiyong Yao

This paper proposes a realist interpretive framework for quantum phenomena based on string theory—the Lamp Bead-Glow Model (LBM). The model uniformly describes quantum particles as composite systems of lamp beads (high-frequency localized vibrations of strings) and glow (extended physical fields excited by strings). It provides a self-consistent unified physical explanation for core quantum phenomena including wave-particle duality, double-slit interference, the Aharonov–Bohm effect, quantum tunneling, and quantum entanglement. On this basis, the concept of micro-gravitational domains is introduced: a single atom excites microscopic spacetime curvature units due to its rest mass, and the macroscopic gravitational field emerges as a gradient matter field through the linear superposition of a vast number of micro-gravitational domains. The curved spacetime geometry description of general relativity can be regarded as a low-energy effective approximation of this emergent field. The model naturally explains all classical gravitational phenomena explained by general relativity, such as the precession of Mercury’s perihelion, light bending near the Sun, and gravitational redshift. It also successfully explains the key observational fact that in the GW170817 binary neutron star merger, gravitational waves arrived about 1.7 seconds earlier than electromagnetic waves, attributing this time difference to the difference between the triggering of gravitational wave superposition thresholds and the moment of astrophysical collision, thereby overcoming inherent logical contradictions in mainstream explanations. At the same time, this paper presents a series of falsifiable experimental predictions, including the neutral atom Aharonov–Bohm effect, equal-kinetic-energy electron comparison experiments, and a mesh-grating baffle decisive experiment, the latter of which can be immediately conducted in ordinary laboratories with decisive discriminatory power. This paper systematically discusses the current theoretical limitations of the framework and future research directions, aiming to provide a testable realist conceptual foundation for the unification of quantum mechanics and gravity, rather than claiming to be a final theory
