Effects of an additional dimension in the Young experiment

TL;DR

This paper proposes that the interference patterns in the Young experiment can be explained by extending spacetime to include an additional spatial dimension within a General Relativity framework, reproducing quantum results.

Contribution

It introduces a novel approach by deriving quantum interference patterns from a five-dimensional spacetime model, unifying classical and quantum interpretations.

Findings

Derived interference patterns from a five-dimensional model

Reproduced quantum mechanical results using classical geometric principles

Suggested a new geometric interpretation of quantum phenomena

Abstract

The results of the Young experiment can be analyzed either by classical or Quantum Physics. The later one though leads to a more complete interpretation, based on two different patterns that appear when one works either with single or double slits. Here we show that the two patterns can be derived from a single principle, in the context of General Relativity, if one assumes an additional spatial dimension to the four known today. The found equations yield the same results as those in Quantum Mechanics.
