Proposal for the Unification of Quantum Mechanics and Relativity.
Accelerating a massive object to the speed of light, if it were possible, would be equivalent to sending said object through a type of inter-dimensional Young's slit experiment, in which all of its de Broglie wavelengths would interfere with one another to create a holographic image that extends throughout time as well as space.
The wave-function would be vibrating in phase with time and would therefore appear completely static in this dimension - a proposal which conforms to the Relativistic Principle of time contraction. This theory, which I have dubbed Layer Cake Theory, attempts to unify the concepts of quantum weirdness and relativistic principles in an intuitive and lateral kind of way.
LAYER CAKE THEORY
Experiments involving the passing of a single photon through a double-slit grating, and the interference patterns that resulted from this, were influential in the formulation of the particle-wave duality theory of matter. Matter, like that which composes your body, is said to be made out of waves of probability. On a small scale the position/velocity of a particle becomes uncertain. But when enough of these particles are combined together, renormalisation occurs leading to the collapse of the wave-functions into a stable amount of what we call 'matter'.
In one of his lectures, the famous physicist Richard Feynman made reference to an experiment in which a stream of photons were fired at a detector behind a solid steel plate. Every now and then the detector would register a hit. The researchers concluded that the photon had taken a trajectory allowing it to swerve around the metal plate and hit the detector. This means that when looking at a single sub-atomic particle that comprises your body, for instance, we may find that its probability wave-function is looping out towards the stars... Such is the weirdness of quantum mechanics.
When an amount of matter begins to accelerate, I propose that some of its particles accelerate out from it at speeds which are, in a sense, greater than that of light speed. This because these particles are accelerating in the dimension of time and not of space; looping out towards the future. The faster an object travels the more particles it emits. These particles are actually space-time manifolds, slices of the original object that travel into the future at tremendous speeds. Each of the manifolds are holographic (fractal) replicas of the original object. This means that as the object accelerates and more and more of these manifolds are ejected, its aspect (apparent size) begins to shrink in agreement with the Lorentz contraction.
Its over-all mass, however, is not depleted because the fractally encoded manifolds are representations of how the object appears at any one instance of time, and therefor each of them contain fractal information of the current state of the mass of the object in respect to its reference frame. Combined manifolds do not increase the mass of an object either, meaning that the mass is a fractal component of the entire structure. When an object, like a person, is at rest, they are the result of all of their space-time manifolds interfering with one another, to become a coherent image of themselves at any one moment.
The history, past, present and future of an object can be represented by an almost infinite number of space-time manifolds. The collective manifolds are fractal, because at any one time they all collapse to form one whole.
In the case of a large object, like the planet Earth, each separate instance of time in the life of this object is a separate space-time manifold. Due to the length and complex history of planet Earth the combination of this set of space-time manifolds at anyone instance is enough to warp the fabric of space itself.
I have already made clear that, in the case of an accelerating object, the loss of space-time manifolds does not decrease the mass of the entire object. So, I would appear to be contradicting myself by suggesting that the accruement of manifolds would lead to increased mass. But, again this is really not the case. It is true that larger objects of a similar density have more mass, but they also have a greater number of manifolds. This suggests that, on average, mass is equivalent to longevity. The more massive a body, the more manifolds it contains and the further these manifolds extend in 4-d space-time.
Again this is something that we also see on a more manageable scale with animals. For instance it has been suggested that elephants and mice have the same amount of heart beats (close to a billion) in their lifetime. But, in the case of the mouse, they are just happening at a far more rapid scale than when compared to the elephant. LCT would suggests that the reason for this is to do with the relationship between total body mass and longevity, although exceptions are sure to apply in the case of living animals, where so many variables exist.
Traditionally physicists have had a hard time marrying the concepts of Special and General Relativity with the weirdness of Quantum Mechanics. Layer Cake Theory (LCT) attempts to address this disparity and it does so in a very unexpected manner, by supposing that a massive object traveling at the speed of light is essentially equivalent to a particle that travels through a double slit grating. While the latter generates an energetic wave of probabilities stretching across space, the former is comprised of a highly energetic 4-dimensional probabilistic wave-form that stretches across time. A comparison between both Quantum Mechanics and Relativity, according to LTC is as follows;
Quantum Mechanics Relativity
Wave-particle duality Matter/mass accelerating towards
(as expressed by Young Slits experiment) the speed of light.
the same particle/space being in two The same temporal instance being
or more different places at once being in two or more different instances
The accretion of matter/atoms creating The accretion of space-time manifolds
the renormalistion of quantum uncertainty creating stable time
