Quantum-Mechanical Consequences of Five-Dimensional Relativity
Paul S. Wesson
TL;DR
This paper proposes a model where a fifth dimension unifies general relativity and wave mechanics, explaining quantum phenomena through a 5D geometric framework.
Contribution
It introduces a 5D canonical space model where 4D particles follow null paths, leading to wave-particle duality and quantization.
Findings
Wave-particle duality derived from 5D null paths
Quantization emerges naturally in the 5D framework
Potential unification of general relativity and quantum mechanics
Abstract
I outline a model where a massive particle in 4D spacetime follows a null (photon-like) path in 5D canonical (super-spherically-symmetric) space. This leads to wave-particle duality and quantization, along with other effects which show that it is possible to unify general relativity and wave mechanics in a simple fashion, given an extra dimension.
