Matter Wave as a standing Wave in Space

As stated in “The Mind Blowing Mystery of Time”: The Schrodinger equation and the Dirac equation do not include gravity in the wave function. Quantum Field Theory also does not include gravity. This is a problem, and indicates that quantum mechanics is incomplete. It is required that the wave function must include the curvature of space in a similar way that the General Theory of Relativity includes the curvature of space.

What does the curvature of space mean? Spacetime is a four dimensional metric, and a curvature of space is a rotation of the time dimension into the space dimension. This is shown below, and it is a standard part of length and time dilation in Relativity. Einstein’s picture of spacetime shows how gravity is formed by the slope in space that results from this rotation. Gravity caused by mass is what curves space, but what causes mass? It is also the curvature of space on the subatomic scale. Schrodinger did not include this curvature of space in his equation. That is the reason that quantum theory does not have gravity.

In 1959, James Terrell and Roger Penrose independently pointed out that differential time lag effects in signals reaching the observer from the different parts of a moving object result in a fast moving object’s visual appearance being quite different from its measured shape. For example, a receding…
