A quantum mechanical interpretation for the relativity of the space-time
E. R. Cazaroto

TL;DR
This paper proposes a quantum mechanical interpretation of relativistic effects, suggesting that length contraction and time dilation are manifestations of matter's wave behavior when expressed through relativistic energy.
Contribution
It introduces a novel perspective linking Lorentz contraction and time dilation to the wave nature of matter via relativistic energy.
Findings
Length contraction and time dilation relate to matter's wave properties.
Expressions involving relativistic energy imply wave behavior causes relativistic effects.
Provides a quantum mechanical interpretation of special relativity phenomena.
Abstract
In special relativity theory the physical quantities are generally expressed as function of the velocity. In the particular case of an extended object, the factor 1/gamma of Lorentz contraction of its length in the direction of motion is written as a function of the velocity of the extended object. The same happens with the Lorentz factor gamma of time interval dilation of a moving clock. In this paper we show that when gamma is written as a function of the relativistic energy of the considered object the resulting expressions for the length and for the time interval suggest that the contraction of length as well as the dilation of the time interval are manifestations of the wave behavior of matter.
