Quantum statistics as geometry: Conflict, Mechanism, Interpretation, and Implication

TL;DR

This paper proposes a geometric interpretation of quantum statistics using a time-symmetric treatment of electromagnetic radiation, aiming to unify quantum mechanics and general relativity by explaining quantum randomness through advanced fields and absorber effects.

Contribution

It introduces a novel mechanism where time-symmetric radiation and absorber theory explain quantum statistics, potentially resolving conflicts between quantum mechanics and general relativity.

Findings

Quantum statistics derived from spontaneous emission during measurement.

Quantum mechanics becomes deterministic when including absorber effects.

Peculiar properties of kaons may be explained by advanced neutrino fields.

Abstract

The conflict between the determinism of geometry in general relativity and the essential statistics of quantum mechanics blocks the development of a unified theory. Electromagnetic radiation is essential to both fields and supplies a common meeting ground. It is proposed that a suitable mechanism to resolve these differences can be based on the use of a time-symmetric treatment for the radiation. Advanced fields of the absorber can be interpreted to supply the random character of spontaneous emission. This allows the statistics of the Born rule to come from the spontaneous emission that occurs during a physical measurement. When the absorber is included, quantum mechanics is completely deterministic. It is suggested that the peculiar properties of kaons may be induced by the advanced effects of the neutrino field. Schr\"odinger's cat loses its enigmatic personality and the identification of mental processes as an essential component of a measurement is no longer needed.
