A HEART OF INFORMATION. “In addition to curvature, a space-time originating in information exchange would be shaped by how matter provides boundary conditions to propagation of information, a scenario which could be compatible with wave-particle duality in particle diffraction.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

GEOMETRIC AGREEMENT. “However, our only non-trivial result is that equilibrated interactions must have a Gaussian fall-off to capture the relations of Euclidean geometry, which coincides with trivial particle diffraction for Gaussian apertures.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

FUTURE WORK. “More thorough analyses of quantum effects, and curvature, are necessary to determine whether the hypothesis is realistic or not.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

THE GEOMETER. “ἀεὶ ὁ θεὸς γεωμετρεῖ. God always geometrises. The mnemonic for π (pi) was derived from this phrase of Plato (number of characters in each of the Greek words).” https://lnkd.in/eqissMdP View in LinkedIn

PARTICLE INTERACTIONS. “Apart from quantum properties of the space-time structure, a second type of quantum effect is present through how particles interact with the space-time.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

CRITICAL TEST. “If the interference effects of particle diffraction cannot fit with the scenario of relative geometry, the hypothesis fails.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

FIRST PASS. “Our focus has been on a rough, qualitative analysis of what would be required for consistency rather than on counterexamples, which constitutes a limited scrutiny of the hypothesis, but we feel enough internal consistency is observed to warrant further interest in this ansatz for quantizing space-time.” https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/JHEP07(2019)140.pdf View in LinkedIn

THIS POSTING of this very difficult and long paper was probably a one-of-a-kind for me, based on the truly extraordinary nature of this article. More than almost any other that I have read in quantum physics, it goes to great pains to explain in words the rational behind each of the steps in this enquiry. A true masterpiece! https://lnkd.in/eiqmZcSk View in LinkedIn
