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

TL;DR

This paper presents experimental evidence from infrared double-slit experiments suggesting potential violations of standard electrodynamics and quantum mechanics, possibly indicating de Broglie pilot waves or spacetime deformation effects.

Contribution

It offers novel experimental results that challenge existing theories and proposes a new interpretation linking pilot waves to spacetime deformation under Lorentz invariance breakdown.

Evidence of anomalous photon behavior in infrared double-slit experiments

Disagreement with standard quantum mechanics and electrodynamics

Hypothesis connecting pilot waves to spacetime deformation

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 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.
