Ultimate Fate of our Universe from Quantum Mechanics

TL;DR

This paper explores a quantum mechanics-based model suggesting the universe's speed of light decreases over time, leading to nonconservation of energy, a nonexpanding universe, and a long-term unlocalized state of matter.

Contribution

It introduces a novel hypothesis linking cosmological time to physical constants, proposing a nonexpanding universe with decreasing energy and a modified interpretation of quantum mechanics.

Findings

Speed of light decreases inversely with universe age

Energy in the universe diminishes linearly over time

Universe remains nonexpanding with unlocalized matter

Abstract

It is conjectured that time intervals of any kind are proportional to the age of the Universe taken at the time we are considering the interval. If this is the case then the speed of light, in fact any speed, must decrease inversely proportional to this age. The immediate consequence is that energy is not conserved: the hypothesis that time is a homogeneous property implies conservation of energy (the theorem of Noether). Nonconservation of energy follows from the condition that any time interval is proportional to the cosmological time, and therefore time can not be homogeneous. From the uncertainty principle, taking the constant of Planck as a real constant, time independent, it follows that any energy in the Universe decreases linearly with time. We then prove that Schroedinger equation does not change, except for the potential energy term. The future of the Universe gives for the wave functions a long sinusoidal spatial solution, so that everything becomes unlocalized. The relativistic absolute interval remains the same, even with a changing speed of light, and the Universe turns out to be nonexpanding. A Mass-Boom effect is confirmed.
