Quantum Singularities

We review the mathematical framework necessary to understand the physical content of quantum singularities in static spacetimes. We present many examples of classical singular spacetimes and study their singularities by using wave packets satisfying Klein–Gordon and Dirac equations. We show that in many cases the classical singularities are excluded when tested by quantum particles but unfortunately there are other cases where the singularities remain from the quantum mechanical point of view. When it is possible we also find, for spacetimes where quantum mechanics does not exclude the singularities, the boundary conditions necessary to turn the spatial portion of the wave operator to be self-adjoint and emphasize their importance to the interpretation of quantum singularities.

All the arguments of a wavefunction are defined at the same instant implying a notion of simultaneity. In a somewhat related matter, certain phenomena in quantum mechanics seem to have non-local causal relations. Both concepts are in contradiction with special relativity. We propose to define the wavefunction with respect to the invariant proper time of special relativity instead of standard time. Moreover, we shall adopt the original idea of Schrodinger suggesting that the wavefunction represents an ontological cloud-like object that we shall call ‘individual fabric’ that has a finite density amplitude vanishing at infinity. Consequently, measurement can be assimilated to a confining potential that triggers an inherent non-local mechanism within the individual fabric. It is formalised by multiplying the wavefunction with a localising gaussian as in the GRW theory but in a deterministic manner.

The existence of the so-called ‘dark’ issues of mechanics implies that our present accounting for mass and energy is incorrect in terms of applicability on a cosmological scale, and the question arises as to where the difficulty might lie. The phenomenon of quantum entanglement indicates that systems of particles exist that individually display certain characteristics, while collectively the same characteristic is absent simply because it has cancelled out between individual particles. It may therefore be necessary to develop theoretical frameworks in which long-held conservation beliefs do not necessarily always apply. The present paper summarises the formulation described in earlier papers (Hill, JM. On the formal origin of dark energy. Z Angew Math Phys 2018; 69:133-145; Hill, JM. Some further comments on special relativity and dark energy. Z Angew Math Phys 2019; 70: 5–14; Hill, JM. Special relativity, de Broglie waves, dark energy and quantum mechanics. Z Angew Math Phys 2019; 70: 131–153.), which provides a framework that allows exceptions to the law that matter cannot be created or destroyed. In these papers, it is proposed that dark energy arises from conventional mechanical theory, neglecting the work done in the direction of time and consequently neglecting the de Broglie wave energy [Formula: see text]. These papers develop expressions for the de Broglie wave energy [Formula: see text] by making a distinction between particle energy [Formula: see text] and the total work done by the particle [Formula: see text], that which accumulates from both a spatial physical force [Formula: see text] and a force [Formula: see text] in the direction of time. In any experiment, either particles or de Broglie waves are reported, so that only one of [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text] is physically measured, and particles appear for [Formula: see text] and de Broglie waves occur for [Formula: see text], but in either event both a measurable and an immeasurable energy exists. Conventional quantum mechanics operates under circumstances such that [Formula: see text] vanishes and [Formula: see text] becomes purely imaginary. If both [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are generated as the gradient of a potential, the total particle energy is necessarily conserved in the conventional manner.
