A note on the nature of the de Broglie waves

In this note we will first argue that there is evidence in supporting the view that de Broglie waves have a gravitational origin. In view of the extreme weakness of the gravitational field, however, this seems to be an unlikely proposition. We consider the problem of the atom in the light of a proposed electron theory [physics/0212013] and show that in this theory an insignificant perturbation in the gravitational field might in effect be amplified by astonishingly large orders of magnitudes. On this basis we then propose a realistic model of an atom where the electron continually tunnels through the electrostatic field of the proton and the de Broglie waves take on the role of the missing electrostatic interactions. Although the discussion is a qualitative one, and as such may not be considered as being conclusive, never the less, we believe that on the evidence presented here the possibility of a gravitational origin for the de Broglie waves must be seriously considered.

On a sub-quantum mechanical interpretation of the Dirac theory

In this paper we will attempt to show that the Dirac theory lends itself to an interpretation in terms of a unified sub-quantum mechanical field theory where, the fundamental force fields are weak electric and weak magnetic fields. We present an electron model based on some of the predictions of the Dirac theory and justify our arguments by showing that the model not only yields the correct value for the g-factor but also gives us the very small correction to the magnetic moment as obtained in the renormalization programme of quantum electrodynamics. The model also allows us to give a new meaning to the negative energy state of an electron. The general outlines of the unified field theory are given and the connection between fluctuations at the Planck and Compton scales is presented in terms of concrete physical events.

On the concept of "efficiency loophole" and rejection of local realism

In this paper I shall demonstrate that an analysis of the concept of "efficiency loophole" leads to the conclusion that any type of charge carried by and elementary particle must be distributed on the surface of a non-spherical object. As a result I shall show that; for example, the eletrostatic field of an electron as seen by an observer, must be in the form of quantized superluminal pulses. Therefore, "efficiency loophole" cannot be used in support of local realistic models. In view of the available experimental results we conclude that a local realistic interpretation of quantum mechanics has now been empirically refuted. However, it can be shown that the inferred superluminal signals do not necessarily contradict the facts of Lorentz transormations and only introduce a weak non-locality into the laws of nature. For this reason we make a preliminary investigation about a possible connection between quantum mechanics and non-spherical charge distributions. We conclude that this idea deserves to be further investigated and its validity or otherwise can be verified experimentally.

On the problem of detection efficiency in Bell-Type experiments

In this note we wish to demonstrate that the concept of efficiency loophole, as far as a local realistic model is concerned, is a self-defeating one since it implies that the static fields (for example, electric or gravitational) of and elementary particle must be in the form of quantized superluminal pulses. The Idea, however, may still be advocated by the proponents of non-local realistic models since it is shown that such superluminal pulses do not contradict the facts of Lorentz transformations. As an alternative to Bell-type experiments we propose an experiment by means of which one can directly verify the validity of otherwise of the concept of efficiency.
