At the speed of light: Toward a quantum-deterministic description?
We examine the quantum-deterministic hypothesis that subatomic bodies consist of an immense number of primitives (particles or fragments of energy) traveling at or near the speed of light. Drawing on the well-proven principle of light and principle of impetus for the deterministic theories, we setup corresponding principles that govern interactions between primitives. Then, we studied the stability of a variety of structures formed from the primitives. One of the primitives for which we present preliminary results has similarities to the photon. These findings suggest a possible relationship between quantum-deterministic and quantum-statistical models and likenesses noticed across realms that we now see as different.
