A reinterpretation of quantum mechanics

Description

A solution of the problem of corpuscular-wave dualism is proposed. It consists in the establishment of a continual-discrete, stochastic-deterministic space-time model of the 'particle in a quantum-mechanical sense'. This solution differs radically from the so-called Copenhagen interpretation. It has points of contact with de Broglie's double solution as well as with the fluid models, but avoids their shortcomings. The main shortcoming of the double solution is that it retains the particle's trajectory while in the fluid models there is no trace dicreteness. Moreover, when two or more interacting particles are involved, the wave function and the corresponding fluid both lose their physical reality, being defined in a configurational rather than in a real physical space. The corpuscular-wave object described here is called POLLETRON. Mathematically this is a pair of geometric objects in the space-time of the relativity theory. At the partial expense of depth and naturalness, a poletron can also be described classically, although its behaviour runs counter to the classical rules. This non-relativistic description based on the notion of a QUANTON is given here. A QUANTON is a classical particle (material point) which, however, is supershortliving (a 'particle-phantom')
