Light Bubbles – The mechanical solution to wave-particle duality

Ukshin Q. Rexhepi

Publisher

Abstract

Within the framework of the Universal Quantum Foam Hypo- thesis (UQSH), radiation is not interpreted as the transport of discrete particles through empty space, but as a fieldmechanical excitation of a continuous, elastic medium. Light corresponds to the freely propagating boundary dynamics of this medium and expands isotropically as a spherical stress front. Emission is un- derstood as the local relaxation of previously bound field states, where energy is not carried by objects but transferred through successive reorganization of neighboring regions. To provide an intuitive description of this process, the concept of “Light Bubbles” is introduced. A Light Bubble denotes a spherically expanding field response whose propagation, interference, and detection are manifestations of continuous reorganization within the same me- dium. Phenomena such as interference, double-slit behavior, and apparent particle localization arise not from a wave-particle dua- lism, but from the combination of extended field oscillations and 1 localized coupling to material structures. Furthermore, it is shown how bound field nodes may emerge from freely propagating exci- tations through geometric self-organization. Matter thus appears as stabilized, locally circulating field motion, while radiation re- presents the limiting case of open propagation. Black holes are interpreted as highly saturated stress regimes in which bound states lose stability and convert into free relaxation modes. This approach provides a unified ontological description of radiation, matter, and gravitational boundary states as different organiza- tional forms of a single continuous field and offers a consistent alternative to particle-centered interpretations.

Light as Structural Reorganization of the Electromagnetic Field

Luka Gluvić

This work develops a structural framework in which light is understood not as a propagating particle or wave, but as a process of electromagnetic field reorganization constrained by geometry and material conditions.Emission is treated as a local disruption of field coherence rather than the creation of a traveling entity. Between emission and absorption, the field enters an open, pre-realizational phase in which no localized physical event occurs. Geometry, material boundaries, and environmental structure act as physical selectors that restrict admissible field configurations. A photon is realized only at absorption, as the localized closure of this open field organization.The framework integrates established empirical phenomena — including spontaneous emission, interference with single quanta, cavity quantum electrodynamics, detector discreteness, and mirror behavior — into a single causal architecture, without introducing new field equations or modifying the formalism of Maxwellian electrodynamics or quantum electrodynamics.The speed of light is interpreted as a structural limit governing the maximal rate at which coherent field organization can be maintained across spatial separation, rather than as the velocity of a transported object. The work further identifies a continuity between quantum and gravitational regimes, in which both emerge from a common phase structure but correspond to different domains of realizability.The proposal is structural rather than dynamical in scope. It does not introduce new laws or entities, but specifies where and when physical events are taken to occur within existing electromagnetic theory, thereby providing a unified physical account of emission, interference, reflection, and photon detection.

Light in SP3: Space-Phase Reconfiguration Replaces Wave–Particle Duality

James E Beecham

Light has historically resisted a single physical interpretation, exhibiting wave-likeinterference, particle-like energy exchange, and invariant high-speed propagation throughspace. These behaviors led to the concept of wave–particle duality, an interpretivecompromise rather than a unified physical explanation. In the SP3 framework, space itselfis not empty or passive but possesses phase, memory, and the capacity for conditioning.This paper reframes light as a localized, self-maintaining reconfiguration of space-phaserather than a particle moving through emptiness or a field oscillating in a void. Interference,quantization, constant propagation speed, and gravitational bending arise naturally fromthe properties of space-phase itself. Wave–particle duality is therefore not resolved bychoosing one description over another but is eliminated by replacing an incompleteconception of space with a physically active medium.

LO SPAZIO SUPERFLUIDO

MASSIMO BELBUSTI

This work presents a unified, realistic, and mechanically grounded interpretation of fundamental physics across all scales, from quarks and elementary particles to atoms, macroscopic bodies, planetary motion, and black holes. The proposed framework provides a single coherent physical description capable of reproducing and explaining, within a common dynamical structure, the full range of phenomena traditionally treated separately by general relativity, quantum mechanics, and quantum electrodynamics. Within this approach, long-standing conceptual problems such as wave–particle duality, quantum interference, entanglement, and wavefunction collapse are not postulated as fundamental features of nature, but emerge naturally as dynamical properties of a physically real medium. The apparent dual behavior of matter and radiation, as well as nonlocal quantum correlations, arise from coherent and topologically constrained excitations of this medium, without invoking probabilistic ontologies or nonphysical abstractions. The theory is based on a revised physical concept of space, treated as a real superfluid medium endowed with density, elasticity, viscosity, permittivity, permeability, and a very small but non-zero electrical conductivity. In this model, space is no longer a passive geometric background, but an active physical system capable of storing, transmitting, and dissipating energy.Mass is interpreted as an isotropic compression of the superfluid, electric charge as an oriented torsional configuration, and fields as elastic stress and vorticity distributions of the medium itself. Electromagnetic and gravitational waves are described as propagating perturbations of the superfluid, while particles correspond to stable solitonic configurations sustained by the medium dynamics.At the microscopic level, starting from classical fluid equations (continuity and Euler equations) and applying the Madelung transformation, the Schrödinger equation is shown to emerge as a compact complex representation of the underlying real fluid dynamics, rather than as a fundamental postulate. Quantum phenomena such as quantization, tunneling, spin, and exclusion principles follow from stability, coherence, and topological constraints of solitonic wave structures. On cosmological scales, the same framework provides a unified interpretation of redshift, large-scale expansion phenomena, and the cosmic microwave background as cumulative dynamical and dissipative effects of wave propagation within the superfluid medium, rather than as consequences of metric expansion alone. Effects commonly attributed to dark matter and dark energy are reinterpreted as emergent manifestations of spatial density gradients, elastic stresses, and dissipative properties of the superfluid, without introducing additional unknown components. A wide range of experimentally verified phenomena—including the photoelectric effect, Compton scattering, Zeeman–Stark effects, the Aharonov–Bohm effect, Casimir effect, Unruh radiation, and cosmological attenuation effects—are consistently described within this unified framework. The proposed model offers an alternative foundational paradigm for physics, in which space, matter, and interactions emerge from a single physically intelligible dynamical system, restoring a continuous and causal description of nature from microscopic to cosmological scales.

Is Light a Particle, a Wave, or Something Else? A Space-Element Model with Density-Dependent Localization

Sumeru Ray

Abstract: The nature of light has historically been described through the dual framework of wave and particle behavior. While classical electrodynamics successfully models light as a wave and quantum theory introduces the photon as a particle-like entity, the coexistence of these descriptions suggests an incomplete understanding of the underlying physical mechanism. In this work, we propose that light is neither fundamentally a particle nor a wave, but a propagating excitation of an underlying continuous medium, termed the Space Element (SE). The apparent particle-like behavior emerges from a density-dependent intrinsic localization mechanism, referred to as Primordial Centripetal Attraction (PCA). A minimal dynamical model is developed in which propagation is governed by a field equation, while localization arises from a gradient-dependent energy functional. This framework provides a unified interpretation of wave–particle duality without requiring dual ontology. We further outline experimentally testable predictions, including density-gradient–dependent light deviation and localization-width modulation.

Vibration physics

Manfred Thiele

This treatise reconstructs the physical world from its ontological origin: oscillation, energy emission, and field formation. Optical phenomena such as the prism and the rainbow, as well as quantum mechanical processes like the double slit, appear as visible fragments of complete state clouds, whose structure only reveals itself where a process enters the perceptual realm. The laser experiments in the prism demonstrate that light is not split, but rather forms discrete field gradients that stabilize as process arcs. The rainbow exhibits the same logic on a larger scale: a spherical field order whose visible upper edge appears as a semicircle. This work unites optics and quantum physics in a shared process logic: A quantum does not decide anything, but rather emits energy; this energy emission generates a field, and the field generates the path. Visibility is understood as the interface between process and observer. The internal dynamics of these fields manifest as oscillation -the universal process geometry that underlies all forms. Gravitation is described as the projection of a rotating oscillatory process, the extreme case of which is visible in a black hole. Singularities do not appear as points, but as condensation processes that lose their geometric projection but retain their oscillation. The treatise combines optics, quantum physics, field logic and gravitation into a consistent vibrational physics and leads physics back to its ontological foundation: processes generate fields, fields generate forms, and the visible world is the projection of this order.

The Origin of Matter Waves and the Resolution of Wave-Particle Duality - A First-Principles Derivation of Matter Wave Dynamics within the Time Field Theory (TFT) Framework

Huowang Huang

Why does matter possess wave-like properties? Is wave-particle duality an inherent dual nature of matter, or merely a projection of a deeper underlying physical structure under two distinct observational perspectives? This paper presents a rigorous first-principles derivation of matter wave dynamics within the axiomatic framework of Time Field Theory (TFT). The entire derivation relies solely on two core axioms: local intrinsic total velocity conservation and metric self-consistency (flux conservation), without introducing any extra postulates. Following the logical sequence of ontological foundation, phase derivation, wave generation, hierarchical classification, physical correspondence, extreme-case verification, and unified spectrum construction, this paper first establishes the core ontological premise that matter corresponds to localized condensed states of the time field. It then derives the geometric structure of the existence phase angle on the unit circle of the complex plane from the velocity conservation axiom, revealing the fundamental origin of intrinsic material phases. On this basis, the de Broglie relations are strictly derived, eliminating the dualistic contradiction between particle and wave characteristics. This work further distinguishes two distinct wave regimes: intrinsic waves originating from phase evolution within condensed states, and apparent waves arising from the global spatial translation of field distributions, which are respectively mapped onto electromagnetic waves and gravitational waves as two classes of physical reality. Using black hole horizons as an extreme physical testbed, we demonstrate that intrinsic wave phenomena vanish completely at time-freezing surfaces while apparent wave behaviors remain intact, providing a unified explanation for the observational fact that black holes emit no light yet produce gravitational waves. We also clarify the ontological origin of black hole darkness: light is not trapped by gravity, but the physical conditions required for photon generation cease to hold at time-freezing surfaces. Finally, we construct a continuous spectrum of wave behaviors ranging from the vacuum ground state to black hole horizons. This paper proves that wave-like behavior is not a binary ”present/absent” attribute of matter, but a continuous function of the condensation strength of the time field. Quantum mechanics and classical mechanics do not describe two separate physical worlds; instead, they represent two limiting regimes of a single universal time field under different condensation levels.
