The nature of a quantum state

  • Published:

Abstract

The Schrödinger equation type of description for fundamental processes is analysed, in terms of an alternative theory which describes the fluid behaviour of a polarized vacuum in a hyperspace. it is shown that Schrödinger quantum states can always be generated from an impulsive production of mass dipoles by processes which are classically explicable. A set of natural reference frames are introduced in relation to which it is shown that the Schrödinger structure assumes a very simple form in terms of local rotations. A fundamental vector potential that is involved in the underlying electromagnetic fluid movement is examined and Hamilton-Lagrange aspects of the polarized flow paths are discussed.
