Abstract

This paper presents a conceptual model—not a mathematical theory—of the electron as a rotating filament of spacetime: a "spaghetti" that spins, stretches, and tangles. The model proposes a single, intuitive mechanism to explain fourteen long-standing puzzles in quantum mechanics, including wave-particle duality, wavefunction collapse, spin, the double-slit experiment, the Pauli exclusion principle, and the delayed-choice experiment. Important note: This is a conceptual framework under active development. The rigorous mathematical formulation and quantitative experimental predictions are not yet complete. The purpose of this preprint is to share the core ideas openly, establish priority, and invite collaboration from mathematicians and theoretical physicists interested in developing the formalism. Keywords: electron model, wave-particle duality, spacetime filament, rotating filament, quantum foundations, double-slit experiment, threshold black hole, conceptual model, spacetime torsion, Pauli exclusion principle, delayed-choice experiment, spin, g-factor

What If the Electron Is a Spinning Filament of Spacetime? A Conceptual Model Explaining 14 Quantum Puzzles

Sna samii

This preprint presents a conceptual model—not a mathematical theory—of the electron as a rotating filament of spacetime: a "spacetime spaghetti" that spins, stretches, and tangles. The model offers a single, unified mechanism to explain fourteen long-standing puzzles in quantum mechanics, including wave-particle duality, wavefunction collapse, electron spin and g-factor, the double-slit experiment, the delayed-choice experiment, the Pauli exclusion principle, pair production and annihilation, photon emission, and the quantization of atomic energy levels. Core idea: The electron is not a point particle. It is a thin, rapidly rotating filament of spacetime. Its rotation—defined as spacetime torsion relative to the background fabric—creates an extended curvature well (the "cloud"). When energy is injected past a critical threshold, the filament contracts to its ground state, releasing a ripple in spacetime (the photon). This single mechanism naturally explains both wave-like and particle-like behavior. Important note: This is a conceptual framework under active development. The rigorous mathematical formulation and quantitative experimental predictions are not yet complete. The purpose of this preprint is to share the core ideas openly, establish intellectual priority, and invite collaboration from mathematicians and theoretical physicists. Testable predictions include: · A critical detector energy threshold in the double-slit experiment · A nonlinear deviation in electron interference patterns compared to photons · A critical time delay in delayed-choice experiments (temporal depth of the electron cloud) · Possible deviations from QED in strong-field regimes

What If the Electron Is a Spinning Filament of Spacetime? A Conceptual Model Explaining 14 Quantum Puzzles

Sina Sahebgaranii

This paper presents a conceptual model of the electron as a rotating filament of spacetime — a "spaghetti" that spins, stretches, and tangles. The model proposes a single, intuitive mechanism to address fourteen long-standing puzzles in quantum mechanics, including wave-particle duality, wavefunction collapse, spin, the double-slit experiment, the Pauli exclusion principle, and the delayed-choice experiment. Important update:A revised and extended second version of this preprint has now been published. The new version includes: · an effective Lagrangian for the filament,· derived equations of motion and normal modes,· canonical quantization,· a phenomenological mapping to the Schrödinger equation,· and falsifiable predictions for double-slit interference. This first version remains public to preserve the priority of the original conceptual framework and to document the development of the model.

The Spaghetti-Cloud Model of the Electron: A Geometric Filament Framework with Testable Predictions

Sna samii

What if the electron is not a point? This preprint introduces the Spaghetti-Cloud Model—a speculative but mathematically explicit framework in which the electron is treated as an extended geometric filament. The work derives the filament's Lagrangian, equation of motion, normal modes, and quantized spectrum, then proposes a falsifiable correction to double-slit interference through an effective form factor. It does not claim to replace quantum mechanics. It does not yet derive spin, g-factor, or QED. What it offers is a concrete, testable hypothesis—one that future electron interference experiments can constrain or rule out.

The Spaghetti-Cloud Model: A Geometric Filament Framework with Testable Predictions

Sina Sahebgaranii

What if the electron is not a point — but a tiny, spinning filament of spacetime geometry? The Spaghetti-Cloud Model explores this possibility. In this preprint, we don’t just ask the question — we turn it into mathematics: · A proposed Lagrangian for the electron filament · Derived equations of motion and vibration modes · A possible bridge to Schrödinger-like behavior · A concrete, falsifiable prediction for double-slit interference The model does not claim to replace quantum mechanics. It claims something simpler: that a new picture of the electron can be tested. If the prediction is wrong — the model is constrained. If it is right — we may be seeing the first hint of the electron’s hidden geometry.

DOUBLE SLIT EXPERIMENT AND WAVE-PARTICLE DUALITY

V. Abbasov

Abstract The double-slit experiment is a classic experiment that presents the clearest manifestation of wave-particle duality, one of the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics. The double-slit experiment still remains the phenomenon that demonstrates wave-particle duality at the most fundamental level. This phenomenon quantitatively and conceptually demonstrates that microscopic objects can behave like both waves and particles at the same time. This article provides an in-depth analysis of the physical nature of dualism, the mechanism of formation of the interference pattern, and the impact of the act of observation on the dynamics of quantum systems. The need for a new perspective on this topic is due to the fact that the current uncertainty in the interpretation of quantum reality has not yet been completely eliminated, and the boundaries between classical and quantum behavior in microscopic objects are still being explored. The results presented here restructure the deep mechanisms of the interference picture, more clearly frame the relationship between observation and wavefunction collapse, and provide a quantum. Since the article attempts to provide a complete answer to the mechanism of the formation of wave-particle duality, extensive space is given to sections such as historical development, theoretical models, modern research, etc. New approaches to this phenomenon have been developed using modern research and string theory. As a result, a new mathematical expression has been proposed that explains the reasons for the initial emergence of wave-particle duality, and is also important for string theory. The article explains the measurement problem with a more effective physical structure and ontological model.

The Particle That Exists in Spacetime: A 4D View of the Double-Slit Experiment

Pierre Pienaar

This article presents a conceptual interpretation of the double-slit experiment using Feynman's path integral formulation. Rather than treating a quantum particle as a point-like object following a single trajectory, the particle's propagation is viewed as a distributed structure in 4D spacetime. In the path-integral picture, this structure is represented by a coherent sum over possible paths between emission and detection. From this perspective, the observed interference pattern emerges from the phase relationships between these possible spacetime paths. The article distinguishes between propagation and interaction. Propagation is described as an extended 4D process, while measurement appears as a localized spacetime event within a 3D spatial slice, producing the point-like detections observed in the double-slit experiment. The aim is not to propose a new physical theory or to explain the mechanism of collapse, but to provide an intuitive geometric interpretation of the standard quantum formalism and its relationship between quantum propagation, interference, and localized measurement outcomes. This is a conceptual essay and interpretive synthesis, not a proposal of a new physical theory.
