An interaction interpretation of special relativity theory. Part II

This paper continues the construction of the Unified VTD Theory, bridging cosmological scales (Part I) and wave processes (Part II) with quantum mechanics. For the first time, a physical identification of the time field is proposed: the Higgs Field is treated as the carrier of Time Density (T). Mass is interpreted not as an intrinsic property of matter, but as the result of "chronal viscosity" – the resistance of the medium to motion. The concept of the "Zero Layer" (T=0) is introduced, explaining the phenomenon of Quantum Entanglement as an interaction at infinite speed within a medium devoid of temporal resistance. The work offers a resolution to the fundamental conflict between locality (General Relativity) and non-locality (Quantum Mechanics).

Ignited by Einstein and Bohr a century ago, the philosophical struggle about Reality is yet unfinished, with no signs of a swift resolution. Despite vast technological progress fueled by the iconic Einstein/Podolsky/Rosen paper (EPR) [1][2][3], the intricate link between ontic and epistemic aspects of Quantum Theory (QT) has greatly hindered our grip on Reality and further progress in physical theory. Fallacies concealed by tortuous logical negations made EPR comprehension much harder than it could have been had Einstein written it himself in German. EPR is plagued with preconceptions about what a physical property is, the 'Uncertainty Principle', and the Principle of Locality. Numerous interpretations of QT vis à vis Reality exist and are keenly disputed [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. This is the first of a series of articles arguing for a novel physical interpretation I call ‘The Ontic Probability Interpretation’ (TOPI). A gradual explanation of TOPI is given intertwined with a meticulous logico-philosophical scrutiny of EPR, with Part I focusing on the meaning of Einstein’s ‘incompleteness’ claim for QT: a conceptual confusion, a preconception about Reality, and a flawed dichotomy are shown to be severe obstacles for the EPR argument to succeed. Part II completes the analysis, proving EPR claim of ‘incompleteness’ for QT is fallacious [12]. Part III further develops TOPI, while scrutinizing the mythical ‘Schrödinger’s Cat’, as well as the ‘Basis’ and ‘Measurement’ pseudo-problems [13]. Part IV introduces QR/TOPI: a new theory that solves the century-old problem of integrating Special Relativity with Quantum Theory [14].
