A gravitational explanation for quantum theory - non-time-orientable manifolds

TL;DR

This paper explores how non-time-orientable spacetime manifolds, which allow topology change and exhibit unique properties, can provide a gravitational foundation for quantum theory's logical and probabilistic structure.

Contribution

It introduces a gravitational explanation for quantum phenomena based on non-time-orientable manifolds, linking topology change to quantum logic and probabilities.

Findings

Non-time-orientable manifolds permit topology change and net charge without sources.

Such manifolds exhibit spin half transformation properties.

Quantum logical structure and probabilities emerge from acausal spacetime properties.

Abstract

Spacetime manifolds that are not time orientable play a key role in a gravitational explanation of quantum theory. Such manifolds allow topology change, but also have fascinating additional properties such as net charge from source-free equations and spin half transformation properties. It is shown how the logical structure of propositions and the probabilities of quantum theory arise from such acausal space times
