A Semi-Classical Approach to Gravitation, Mass and Spin

TL;DR

This paper introduces a semi-classical model combining differential geometry and statistical mechanics to explore the concept of mass, incorporating features like multiple histories and uncertainty without relying on quantum mechanics.

Contribution

It presents a novel semi-classical framework for understanding mass using geometric and statistical methods, distinct from traditional quantum approaches.

Findings

Provides a new geometric-statistical model for mass

Incorporates multiple histories and uncertainty naturally

Offers insights into gravitation without quantum mechanics

Abstract

In this paper, we use methods from differential geometry and statistical mechanics to investigate a model for the concept of mass. The theory is not quantum mechanical in the usual sense, although certain features like multiple histories and uncertainty are included in a natural way.
