QM through stochastic optimization on spacetimes

In summary, the conversation discusses the worthiness of an article and its potential contribution to shortening discussions in a specific forum. The article is deemed not worth reading as it proposes an equation that does not make sense in the context of relativistic quantum mechanics. The paper only covers elementary aspects and does not address the more complex issues, making it unlikely to have an impact on the discussions in the forum.

TL;DR Summary
This is an attempt to explain QM on basic principles:

As students, Jussi Lindgren and Jukka Liukkonen had found one element of their quantum mechanics lectures unsatisfying. "When we were taught physics, there were some fundamental elements you were told were true, and you had to accept they were true without it being shown why," said Jussi Lindgren, "and I didn't really like this".
I have a simple question as a layman in the field:
Is this worth reading, and even more, is it a contribution to possibly shorten the endless discussions in this subforum?

In my opinion, not worth reading.

It somehow derives some equation which would have to replace the Schrödinger equation in the relativistic equation which imho does not make sense.

Neither. The paper explains how some elementary ingredients to the relativistic quantum mechanics of a single particle can be understood. It is very far from giving complete foundations of quantum mechanics.

It leaves most of the difficult issues untouched, and is unlikely to have any effect on the discussions here.
