New Stringy Physics beyond Quantum Mechanics from the Feynman Path Integral

Published by International Journal of Quantum Foundations on July 3, 2022

Volume 8, Issue 3, pages 125-147

Donatello Dolce

By investigating the Feynman Path Integral we prove that elementary quantum particle dynamics are directly associated to single compact (cyclic) world-line parameters, playing the role of the particles’ internal clock, implicit in ordinary undulatory mechanics and indirectly observed for instance in Time Crystals. This allows us to formulate a novel purely four-dimensional stringy description of elementary particles as possible physics beyond quantum mechanics. The novelty of this approach is that quantum mechanics originate from a non-trivial compact structure of the minkowskian space-time. Our result is a further evidence in support of Elementary Cycles Theory (ECT), which in previous papers has been proven to be consistent with known physics from theoretical particle physics to condensed matter. Here we provide additional conceptual arguments in support to this novel unified scenario of quantum and relativistic physics, potentially deterministic, and fully falsifiable having no fine-tunable parameters. The first evidences of such new physics characterized by ultra-fast cyclic time dynamics will be observed by probing quantum phenomena with experimental time accuracy of the order of 10^{-21} sec. Considerations about the emergence of the arrow of time from the realm of pure, zero temperature, quantum physics governed by intrinsic time periodicity are also provided. Concerning Einstein’s dilemma “God does not play dice” we conclude that, all in all, “God” would have no fun playing quantum dice.
