This paper is a serious attempt at reconciling quantum and classical mechanics through the concept of dynamic space and the acceptance of non-zero Ricci tensor for vacuum. Starting with scalar particles, the paper shows that with those two points allow predictions of General Relativity to be made with an equation which includes Klein-Gordon as a special case; this equation is designated the \emph{source equation}. The paper then moves on to show that Dirac equation is compatible with the source equation written in a more general form. 4-dimensional optics is introduced as an alternative to space-time, which is shown to allow similar predictions except in extreme situations, but has the great advantage of ascribing both gravity and electro dynamics to space curvature.

This document contains a description of physics entirely based on a geometric presentation: all of the theory is described giving only a pseudo-riemannian manifold (M, g) of dimension n > 5 for which the g tensor is, in studied domains, almost everywhere of signature (-, -, +, ..., +). No object is added to this space-time, no general principle is supposed. The properties we impose to some domains of (M, g) are only simple geometric constraints, essentially based on the conce...

It is the author's belief that a perfect theory will eventually be formulated, where geometry and physics become indistinguishable, so that the complete understanding of space properties, together with proper assignments between geometric and physical entities, will provide all necessary predictions. The author intends to show that GR and Quantum Mechanics (QM) can be seen as originating from properties of the null subspace of 5-dimensional space with signature (-++++), toget...

As is well known, Einstein was dissatisfied with the foundation of quantum theory and sought to find a basis for it that would have satisfied his need for a causal explanation. In this paper this abandoned idea is investigated. It is found that it is mathematically not dead at all. More in particular: a quantum mechanical U(1) gauge invariant Dirac equation can be derived from Einstein's gravity field equations. We ask ourselves what it means for physics, the history of physi...

In this paper a one to one correspondence is established between space-time metrics of general relativity and the wave equations of quantum mechanics. This is done by first taking the square root of the metric associated with a space and from there, passing directly to a corresponding expression in the dual space. It is shown that in the case of a massless particle, Maxwell's equation for a photon follows while in the case of a particle with mass, Dirac's equation results as ...

A variational principle is applied to 4D Euclidean space provided with a tensor refractive index, defining what can be seen as 4-dimensional optics (4DO). The geometry of such space is analysed, making no physical assumptions of any kind. However, by assigning geometric entities to physical quantities the paper allows physical predictions to be made. A mechanism is proposed for translation between 4DO and GR, which involves the null subspace of 5D space with signature $(-++++...

A rigorous \textit{ab initio} derivation of the (square of) Dirac's equation for a single particle with spin is presented. The general Hamilton-Jacobi equation for the particle expressed in terms of a background Weyl's conformal geometry is found to be linearized, exactly and in closed form, by an \textit{ansatz} solution that can be straightforwardly interpreted as the "quantum wave function" $\psi_4$ of the 4-spinor Dirac's equation. In particular, all quantum features of t...

In order to extend our approach based on SU$*$(4), we were led to (real) projective and (line) Complex geometry. So here we start from quadratic Complexe which yield naturally the 'light cone' $x_{1}^{2}+x_{2}^{2}+x_{3}^{2}-x_{0}^{2}=0$ when being related to (homogeneous) point coordinates $x_{\alpha}^{2}$ and infinitesimal dynamics by tetrahedral Complexe (or line elements). This introduces naturally projective transformations by preserving anharmonic ratios. Referring to ol...

The starting point of this work is the principle that all movement of particles and photons in the observable Universe must follow geodesics of a 4-dimensional space where time intervals are always a measure of geodesic arc lengths, i.e. $c^2(\mathrm{d}t)^2 = g_{\alpha \beta} \mathrm{d} x^\alpha \mathrm{d} x^\beta$, with $c$ is the speed of light in vacuum, $t$ time, $g_{\alpha \beta}$ and the metric tensor; $x^\alpha$ represents any of 4 space coordinates. The last 3 coordin...

The unification of quantum theory and gravity is one of the central open problems in physics. While most of the effort in the literature is focused on the UV modifications of quantum theory due to gravity, in this work, we show that generic infrared (IR) modifications arise when we describe quantum theory in curved space-time. We explicitly demonstrate that the modifications to the position-momentum algebra are proportional to the curvature invariants (like Ricci scalar, Kret...

The realms of gravitation, belonging to Classical Physics, and Electromagnetism, belonging to the Theory of the Electron and Quantum Mechanics have remained apart as two separate pillars, inspite of a century of effort by Physicists to reconcile them. In this paper it is argued that if we extend ideas of Classical spacetime to include in addition to non integrability non commutavity also, then such a reconcilation is possible.
