On A New Formulation of Micro-phenomena: The Double-slit Experiment

TL;DR

This paper proposes a deterministic particle-field model to explain the double-slit experiment, showing how interference patterns emerge from energy sharing and angular distributions without relying on traditional quantum indeterminacy.

Contribution

It introduces a new deterministic formulation of micro-phenomena where particles and fields interact, providing a causal explanation for interference patterns in the double-slit experiment.

Findings

The model reproduces the quantum interference pattern.

Interference arises from energy sharing between particles and fields.

Probabilistic outcomes are explained by local energy variations.

Abstract

Based on the novel view that a micro-entity could be considered as a particle associated with a field partaking of the energy of particle which are both described by deterministic causal equations of motion, we examine the success of our new theory in elucidating the underlying physics of the double-slit experiment. Here, we explain with clear details how each micro-particle scatters from one of the slits at a given time. After the scattering through one of the slits, the particle shares some of its energy with its surrounding field and a particle-field system is again formed which its motion is governed by a deterministic dynamics during its flight towards the detecting screen. The interference pattern is then explained by showing how the final location of each particle-field system at the time of reaching the detecting screen is distributed according to an angular distribution (equal to the what quantum theory predicts for the fringe effects in a two-slit experiment). The probabilistic nature of such a distribution can be explained by considering the variations of the kinetic energy of the particle-field system at different local situations.
