Emergence of Quantum Theory and Minkowski Spacetime

TL;DR

This paper proposes a novel framework linking quantum theory and Minkowski spacetime by reformulating quantum mechanics within a classical Euclidean spacetime perspective, suggesting they emerge from a unified fundamental entity.

Contribution

It introduces a new approach to reconcile quantum theory with spacetime geometry through classical physics and stochastic processes, offering a potential unification.

Findings

Quantum theory can be reformulated in Euclidean spacetime.

Quantum and Minkowski spacetime may emerge from a single fundamental entity.

The approach bridges quantum mechanics and spacetime geometry.

Abstract

The state-of-the-art physics consists of two irreconcilable branches, i.e., the quantum theory and the general relativity, which work well in their own territories, independently. However, what are quantum and spacetime after all? The key question was never addressed, satisfactorily. In this work, we describe a possibility to reformulate the quantum theory in the Minkowski spacetime from the viewpoint of classic physics in the Euclidean spacetime, i.e., classic mechanics and stochastic process theory. We show that quantum theory and Minkowski spacetime may connect with each other and emerge from a single fundamental entity.
