THE SHADOW OF LIGHT: FURTHER EXPERIMENTAL EVIDENCES

Abstract

We report the results of a double-slit-like experiment in the infrared range, which confirm those of a previous one by evidencing an anomalous behaviour of photon systems under particular (energy and space) constraints. These outcomes (independently confirmed by crossing photon beam experiments in both the optical and the microwave range) apparently rule out the Copenhagen interpretation of the quantum wave, i.e. the probability wave, by admitting an interpretation in terms of the Einstein–de Broglie–Bohm hollow wave for photons. Moreover, this second experiment further supports the interpretation of the hollow wave as a deformation of the Minkowski space-time geometry.

THE SHADOW OF LIGHT: LORENTZ INVARIANCE AND COMPLEMENTARITY PRINCIPLE IN ANOMALOUS PHOTON BEHAVIOR

We review the results of two double-slit-like experiments in the infrared range, which evidence an anomalous behavior of photon systems under particular (energy and space) constraints. These outcomes (independently confirmed by crossing photon beam experiments in both the optical and the microwave range) apparently rule out the Copenhagen interpretation of the quantum wave, i.e. the probability wave, by admitting an interpretation in terms of the Einstein–de Broglie–Bohm hollow wave for photons. Moreover, these experiments support the interpretation of the hollow wave as a deformation of the Minkowski space-time geometry. We stress the implications of these experimental results and of their interpretation for the concept of action-at-a-distance, Einstein's relativistic correlation and Bohr's principle of complementarity,

Lorentz violation and quantum mechanics

Andrea Petrucci

Abstract We report and discuss the results of double-slit-like experiments in the infrared range, which evidence an anomalous behaviour of photon systems under particular (energy and space) constraints. These outcomes apparently disagree both with standard quantum mechanics (Copenhagen interpretation) and with classical and quantum electrodynamics. Possible interpretations can be given in terms of either the existence of de Broglie–Bohm pilot waves associated to photons, and/or the violation of local Lorentz invariance (LLI). We put forward an intriguing hypothesis about the possible connection between these seemingly unrelated points of view by assuming that the pilot wave of a photon is, in the framework of LLI violation, a local deformation of the flat Minkowski spacetime.

The shadow of light: evidences of photon behaviour contradicting known electrodynamics

Fabio Cardone A, Mignani, R., Walter Perconti +2 more

We report the results of a double-slit-like experiment in the infrared range, which evidence an anomalous behaviour of photon systems under particular (energy and space) constraints. The statistical analysis of these outcomes (independently confirmed by crossing photon beam experiments in both the optical and the microwave range) shows a significant departure from the predictions of both classical and quantum electrodynamics.

Possible Experimental Evidence for Violation of Standard Electrodynamics de Broglie Pilot Wave and Spacetime Deformation

We report and discuss the results of double-slit-like experiments in the infrared range, which evidence an anomalous behaviour of photon systems under particular (energy and space) constraints. These outcomes apparently disagree both with standard quantum mechanics (Copenhagen interpretation) and with classical and quantum electrodynamics. Possible interpretations can be given in terms of either the existence of de Broglie-Bohm pilot waves associated to photons, and/or the breakdown of local Lorentz invariance (LLI). We put forward an intriguing hypothesis about the possible connection between these seemingly unrelated points of view by assuming that the pilot wave of a photon is, in the framework of LLI breakdown, a local deformation of the flat minkowskian spacetime.

THE SHADOW OF LIGHT: CHALLENGING CLASSICAL AND QUANTUM ELECTRODYNAMICS

Fabio Cardone A, ROBERTO MIGNANI

We review some optical experiments, carried out in the last decade, which evidence an anomalous behavior of photon systems. Their results are apparently at variance with both standard quantum mechanics (in the Copenhagen interpretation) and usual (classical and quantum) electrodynamics. In particular, they can be interpreted as a virtual interference involving the pilot waves associated to photons (according to Bohmian quantum mechanics). The anomalous effects exhibit a threshold behavior in energy and space, which agrees with results obtained on the electromagnetic breakdown of local Lorentz invariance. A possible connection between these seemingly unrelated implications of the observed phenomenon can be set by assuming that the pilot wave of a photon is a deformation of spacetime ("shadow of light").
