Submicroscopic Deterministic Quantum Mechanics

TL;DR

This paper proposes a deterministic submicroscopic quantum mechanics model based on space deformations and inertons, providing explanations for quantum phenomena and experimental verification of inertons' existence.

Contribution

It introduces inertons as a substructure of matter waves, linking space deformation to particle properties and resolving the spin problem.

Findings

Inerton clouds interact with laser pulses in gases.

Inertons induce harmonic potentials in solids.

Experimental evidence supports inertons' existence.

Abstract

So-called hidden variables introduced in quantum mechanics by de Broglie and Bohm have changed their initial enigmatic meanings and acquired quite reasonable outlines of real and measurable characteristics. The start viewpoint was the following: All the phenomena, which we observe in the quantum world, should reflect structural properties of the real space. Thus the scale 10^{-28} cm at which three fundamental interactions (electromagnetic, weak, and strong) intersect has been treated as the size of a building block of the space. The appearance of a massive particle is associated with a local deformation of the cellular space, i.e. deformation of a cell. The mechanics of a moving particle that has been constructed is deterministic by its nature and shows that the particle interacts with cells of the space creating elementary excitations called "inertons". The further study has disclosed that inertons are a substructure of the matter waves which are described by the orthodox wave \psi-function formalism. The concept has allowed resolving the spin problem. The theory, or more exactly, the existence of inertons, has been verified experimentally: in rarefied gases, inerton clouds of atoms' electrons interact with a strong laser pulse; in a solid, atom's inertons induce an additional harmonic potential that contributes to the interatomic interaction (metal specimens and the KIO_3*HIO_3 crystal).
