I have spent the last two years working hard on a journal paper based on some of the work I’ve discussed on this site. I learned a lot in the process, for example, the importance of substantiating every claim I made, and making sure the more speculative stuff stays out of the paper. Take a look if you like! You may need to download and use a PDF viewer–some of the math equations don’t show correctly in the wordpress viewer.
Here’s the abstract:
The Dirac equation successfully predicts the evolution of probability amplitudes even for relativistic particle interactions, but it is a causal equation and thus cannot predict non-causal quantum interference effects such as quantum entanglement resolution. An extension of the Dirac equation will require a valid quantum interpretation that derives both quantum interference behavior and the special relativity postulate of constant speed in any frame of reference. None of the current quantum interpretations provide the means to derive the special relativity postulate. Therefore, in this study, I assume a quantum interpretation based on a non-causal form of group wave particles. The study shows that observation of these group wave particles have a constant speed in all frames of reference and thus the quantum interpretation is a valid basis for both special relativity and the Dirac equation. The result of this study is a first step toward building an extension to the Dirac equation that predicts the non-causal interference effects of quantum mechanics.
