The Wavicle Universe?

finding a model of matter that would explain relativity and wave particle duality

The accepted physical theory that successfully explains both quantum mechanics and special relativity is called quantum electrodynamics (QED). It is the first local Abelian gauge theory that is based on the gauge invariance of electric charge. That is to say by switching a negative charge with a positive charge, vice versa, does not alter the results of the theory. This implies that the theory must not introduce any possible inconsistency wherever and whenever the electron is replaced by its antiparticle called the positron. This was done by Dirac equation whose solutions are the 2-component spinors, which allow Dirac to predict the existence of antimatter.

However, a theory that explains both quantum mechanics and general relativity still does not exist although researches have been done for more than 70 years since the 1930s. This is a search for a theory of local gauge invariance for the physical concept of mass.

Antonio,
Thanks for that enlightenment. I am dusting off some of the old books and re-reading "Beyond Einstein - The Cosmic Quest for The Theory of the Universe" by Dr.Michio Kaku and Jennifer Trainer - Bantam Books March 1987. Michio Kaku has given the world a wonderful introduction and history to the Quest (GUT). It's very easy language and good reading for all forum readers here.

I am taking care of business (my architectural practice and family) and as a peculiar hobby discoursing with you and others on this great forum TOE Quest. However, I won't leave this mystery alone. Currently, I am intense on clearly deriving the Gkl from the rotating wave model. How that might be interpreted in your theory I have no idea yet. Basically, I am placing two base vectors on the helical path traced out by the rotating wave. As in SR, the straight tube with the helical path has only extrinsic curvature, but when the tube widens out or turns, then the Rkl does not equal zero. I define the base vectors by taking partial derivations of position vectors (one for orbit or linear motion and one for rotation). It's beautiful and elegant, but I am still stuck on canceling out on of the scalar covariant components (eg. Pt,lnk-Pt,lkn). Can I do that just because they are scalars? I know I can't do that for the base vectors (el,nk-el,kn). I will learn how to use the La Text. Note, for clarification on my math notation, please refer to my article: Derivation of Gkl.

The rotating wave is a simple localized wave and provides an explanation of what mass is. That is inherently tied in with the explanation of equivalence and gravity. I will study the group theory and string theory and see how the rotating wave fits in. Can you point me in direction where I can get a clear intro to your idea. Thanks.

I can suggest for you to look at the 4 recent blogs I posted and start from there, in particular the one about spacetime quantization. Here is another link of the pdf file:

Posting on forums would seem to be a 'peculiar hobby' that is becoming very common since the advent of the inter-net, which allows people to socialize and work at all hours around the clock.

My interest in this forum is psychology, including the psychology of various forms of communication and factors of stress to our species and the planet.

While I am of no assistance to the dialogue between yourself, Antonio and others, the exchange is interesting nonetheless for a variety of reasons.

Two questions, which are entirely optional for you to answer:

Do you belong to a forum that pertains to your profession as well?

Do the members of your family also enjoy forums?

You may respond by PM, if such is your preference, and I apologize for interrupting your conversation, yet your turn of phrase 'a peculiar hobby' caught my eye.

Kepler was a professional astrologer with his peculiar hobby of stargazing untill he turned it into a serious endeavor and discovered the three laws of planetary motion before Newton generalized them into the three laws of motion plus his additional law of universal gravitation.
