The ‘Computational Unified Field Theory’ (CUFT): Harmonizing Quantum and Relativistic Models and Beyond

Abstract

Perhaps the most troubling enigma in modern natural sciences is the principle contradiction that exists between quantum mechanics and Relativity theory (Greene, 2003) ; Indeed, this principle incompatibility between Quantum Mechanics and Relativity Theory propelled Einstein to relentlessly pursuit a 'Unified Field Theory' (Einstein, 1929, 1931, 1951) and subsequently prompted an intensive search for a 'Theory of Everything' (TOE) (Bagger & Lambert, 2007; Elis, 1986; Hawkins, 2002; Polchinski, 2007; Brumfiel, 2006). The principle contradictions that exist between quantum mechanics and relativity theory are: a. Probabilistic vs. deterministic models of physical reality: Relativity theory is based on a positivistic model of ‘space-time’ in which an object or an event possesses clear definitive ‘space-time’, ‘energy-mass’ properties and which therefore gives rise to precise predictions regarding the prospective ‘behavior’ of any such object or event (e.g., given an accurate description of its initial system’s state). In contrast, the probabilistic interpretation of quantum mechanics posits the existence of only a ‘probability wave function’ which describes physical reality in terms of complimentary ‘energy-space’ or ‘temporal-mass’ uncertainty wave functions (Born, 1954; Heisenberg, 1927). This means that at any given point in time all we can determine (e.g., at the subatomic quantum level) is the statistical likelihood of a given particle or event to possesses a certain ‘spatial-energetic’ and ‘temporal-mass’ complimentary values. Moreover, the only probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics dictates that this statistical uncertainty is almost ‘infinite’ prior to our measurement of the particle’s physical properties and ‘collapses’ upon our interactive measurement of it into a relatively defined (complimentary) physical state... Hence, quantum mechanics may only provide us with a probabilistic prediction regarding the physical features of any given subatomic event – as opposed to the relativistic positivistic (deterministic) model of physical reality. b. “Simultaneous-entanglement” vs. “non-simultaneous-causality” features: quantum and relativistic models also differ in their (a-causal) ‘simultaneousentanglement’ vs. ‘non-simultaneous-causal’ features; In Relativity theory the speed of light represents the ultimate constraint imposed upon the transmission of any physical signal (or effect), whereas quantum mechanics advocates the existence of a
