Explanatory Depth and the Integration of Special Relativity and Quantum Mechanics

Dennis Kahan

Despite nearly a century of development, quantum theories that address the special relativity-quantum mechanics tension still struggle with limited explanatory depth. Given the fundamental differences between the two core theories, this is not surprising. Quantum theories that rely on mathematical constructs to explain particle or quantum state dynamics often struggle to reconcile with special relativity’s constraints in a physical 4D spacetime. This paper explores the explanatory depth of a tightly integrated, physically grounded approach to reconciling special relativity and quantum mechanics based on a dual ontology framework where a discrete 4D spacetime and an ultra-high-dimensional space are integrated facets of a physically unified universe. The approach provides a theoretical framework that adheres to special relativity’s laws, conforms with quantum experiments challenging special relativity’s constraints, and establishes a physical one-to-one correspondence between quantum phenomena across both dimensions. The strength of the analysis lies in its physical explanatory depth. Without relying on ad hoc, fine-tuning, or perturbative techniques, the model examines physical solutions for some of the most challenging special relativity-quantum mechanics problems, including (1) quantum entanglement and nonlocality, (2) the instantaneity of quantum collapse, (3) causality, (4) the nature of time, (5) quantum state localization, (6) ) quantum tunneling, (7) the relativity of simultaneity, (8) relativistic energy increase, and (9) the Born Rule's relationship to special relativity’s constraints.

Relative causal order in Grete Hermann’s retrodictive causality applied to Bell’s inequalities violation

Patrícia Kauark-Leite, Romeu Rossi Junior, Pablo L. Saldanha

In 1935, Grete Hermann proposed a way to conciliate causality and quantum mechanics, detaching causality from determinism. In her view, a causal explanation for quantum phenomena can be inferred in a retrodictive way, after the corresponding measurements were performed, and verified via the obtained (non-deterministic) predictions for the future behavior of the system. Here we discuss the violation of Bell's inequalities, where pairs of entangled particles are measured by two parties named Alice and Bob in spacelike intervals, in view of retrodictive causality. We concluded that the causal order of the events is relative to the observer. For some observers, Alice's measurement occurs first and, combined with the physical laws that govern the production of the entangled state, can be retrodictively considered as an explanatory cause, though not a real cause, of Bob's observations. But for other observers, Bob's measurement occurs first and can be considered as an explanatory cause for Alice's observations. So, which event is the explanatory cause and which one is its consequence depends on the observer. But this odd conclusion does not conflict with Hermann's view, since for her the causal law is epistemic rather than ontological. We illustrate these ideas describing the quantum correlations between two spin-1/2 particles, when these particles are produced by the decay of a spin-0 particle, and the polarization quantum correlations of photons generated by parametric downconversion.

Jung Sung-mo's Grand Unified Dynamics - Overcoming the Limitations of Quantum Mechanics via Mechanical Determinism and Reclaiming Field Dynamics

Sung-mo Jung

ABSTRACT Over the past century, modern physics has been bifurcated into the theory of relativity explaining the macro-world and quantum mechanics dealing with the micro-world. In doing so, it has forfeited mechanical causality, relying instead on mathematical probabilities and geometric optical illusions. This paper meticulously identifies the epistemological blind spots and voids of conventional physics and proposes 'Jung Sung-mo's Grand Unified Dynamics,' which penetrates all forces and motions of the universe with a single, overarching mechanical principle. First, this study establishes the 'Theory of Absolute Intrinsic Physical Metric Relativity,' which posits that every object in the universe independently possesses its own intrinsic unit time (T) and unit distance (L). By introducing the independent metrics (Tc, Lc) of a 'Third-party Omniscient Observer ( C)' into the formulation, we present an algebraic formula for deriving relative velocity, thereby completely and mechanically dismantling the inherent contradictions and the Twin Paradox of Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity. Second, the reality of quantum phenomena, previously dismissed as mere probability clouds, is explicitly elucidated through a novel three-step verification framework: [Theoretical Formulation → Algebraic Equation Derivation → 3D Parametric Simulation Verification]. Within the Dynamic Field formed by the intrinsic motion of particles within the Static Field lattice medium, the mechanical cumulative density of multi-dimensionally superimposed and rotating particles is mathematically formulated. In particular, it visually and dynamically demonstrates via a computer simulation (Appendix A) that the geometric configurations of s, p, d, f orbitals—long considered an enigma in quantum mechanics—are not mathematical probability functions, but rather the pure mechanical outcomes of a 'Teardrop Envelope Trajectory' designed for friction avoidance between particles and a 'Surface of Revolution Scanning' across multiple planes. Ultimately, this study declares a paradigm shift toward a grand unified physics that strips away Einstein's spacetime curvature and Schrödinger's probabilistic illusions, thereby fully restoring the authentic mechanical causality of the Field that bridges the macroscopic and microscopic realms of the universe. Keywords: Grand Unified Dynamics, Mechanical Causality, Absolute Intrinsic Metric Relativity, Particle Multi-Dimensional Trajectory Dynamics, Deterministic Trajectory, Orbital Kinematics, Parametric Simulation, Probability Cloud.
