The special theory of relativity assumes space time is formed from fixed points with sticks and clocks to measure length and time respectively. The electromagnetic waves are transmitted at the speed of light through this space time. This classical space time does not explain the mysteries of quantum mechanics. Do you think that maybe there is more than one space time?
I would want to propose here the critical reading of a few concepts on space-time deduced from my last paper "Physico-Mathematical Fundamentals of the Theory of Reference Frames" :
" In the Theory of Reference Frames space is three-dimensional (3D) with three space coordinates (x,y,z). The three coordinates are mathematically independent each other and their interdependence can have only a physical meaning defined for instance by the kinematics of point.
The space considered in TR is at the moment the "empty geometric space", without any physical property, defined only by a tern of Cartesian coordinates (x,y,z) and each time by an origin O.
In our view the empty geometric space, with respect to the three coordinates, is "infinite, infinitesimal and discrete". It is infinite because, for every distance "d" it is always possible for instance to double that distance without an objective limit to this possibility exists. It is infinitesimal because the same distance "d" can be for example time after time halved without an objective limit to this possibility exists. It is discrete because the distance "d" can be maked always smaller without reach the zero distance which matchs the geometric point.
The "empty physical space" instead is the empty geometric space defined by a few physical properties as the dielectric constant in a vacuum (epsilono=8,86x10-12F/m) and the magnetic permeability in a vacuum (muo=12,56x10-7 teslaxm/ampere) with regard to electromagnetic properties and the resistance in a vacuum (ko=0) with regard to mechanical properties. It is suitable to underline that this definition of empty physical space is altogether different from the Aristotelian ether , which was considered an immobile material medium that filled the whole universe and whose no sure physical property was renowned.
After the cited M&M experiment new definitions of ether were excogitated (dragged ether, partially dragged ether, et cetera) but all these definitions were without avail.
The "physical space" is the physical space, limited or unlimited, which can be empty but can be also filled with known substances as air, water, etcetera, and which is venue for the considered physical event".
" Time in TR is the measured time by a clock which is synchronized with the standard clock and is situated in the place where the physical event happens.
This time definition equals Einstein's definition, but the concept of simultaneity of events makes the difference between the Special Relativity and the Theory of Reference Frames".
With regard to the basic behavior of quantum systems I don't see mysteries. I see only uncertainty due to the Indeterminacy Principle. I don't believe the essential indeterminacy of nature and I looked for exceeding it through DQP (Deterministic Quantum Physics).
Dear Professor
Thank you for your detailed answer. About the indetermency in quantum mechanics don't you think that it may be related to a non traditional geometry of space time that make tha quantum particle be undeteriminstic at the classical ranges.
Dear prof. Sadeem, I think for understanding nature isn't necessary make use of strange concepts like a mysterious space-time. Quantum particles aren't indeterministic, even if many think it because of the Indeterminacy Principle. On the other hand quantum particles are well photographed into particle accelerators and it is possible to identify precisely their trajectories. Our knowledge about electron is greater than any other physical object. For instance I have formulated a deterministic theory of the tunnel effect in the Esaki junction without make use of indeterministic concepts.
Dear all
you are talking about traditional known time. however there are theories that considered more than one time dimension. such theories have more complicated space time geometry the classical space time geometry is a projection of the more complicated one.
Dear Prince
The propsed space time geometry is described by fractal geometry . Can you please describes what you mean by reality? Do you mean classical space time geometry?
I think the problem of quantum mechanics is better described using such fractal geometry of space time.
Dear Prince
I brought fractal because simply the proposed space time that intended to explain the phenomena in Quantum Mechanics must has a complex relation with our space time to keep the laws of physics applied. this may be the origin of uncertainty in quantum mechanics. take as an example scale relativity of Nottale.
I agree with you the time is the same at all points at the classical limits , neverthless this is not true at quantum mechanics ranges because at such distances time becomes like cycles that repeat their self at all positions which as a result gives the fractal shaped space time conjugted in the ordinary space time.
