poor de Broglie! The solution is very simple, of course, treating quantum particles as waves. In the semiclassical limit m >> p the spatial wavelength tends to infinity lambda = h / p, the time periodicity tends to zero T = h /E. If you plot the modulo square of a matterwave in the...

you must use the Poisson summation formula.

This is a novel natural interpretation of QM that could be named 'intrinsic periodicity'. The idea, proposed by Dolce, is a 'conceptual' relativistic reconsideration of the 'de Broglie periodic phenomenon' at the base of the wave-particle duality: "Similarly to a "particle in a box" or to a...

This is a novel and natural interpretation of QM based on determinism. The idea is a 'conceptual' reconsideration of the wave-particle duality: "Similarly to a "particle in a box" or to a "vibrating string", the constraint of intrinsic periodicity can be used as semi-classical quantization...

In a dice the outcomes are random but, if observed in slow-motion, also pre-determined by classical mechanics and initial conditions. Mathematics show that in QM something similar happens. The indeterminacy could be a problem of resolution in time.

We physicists like to compare apples with apples and bananas with bananas. When you write (t,x,y,z) you are putting apples (an object with dimensionality of a time) with bananas (an object with dimensionality of a length). This prevents the following nonsense: t + x (apple + banana = ?).

I had the fortune to speak with him for two days and I can assure that he is a wonderful person and in his eyes you can see genial intuitions... I laughed all the time. PS: He drinks a coffe every 30min.

The message that I get from his theory is this: theoretical physics without new fundamental ideas is at a dead end. Too often results or quasi-results are announced for political reasons, that is to have funds. Like the Higgs boson that seems to be always behind the door. Too often physicists...

In the case of Holger B. Nielsen I would say sarcasm or irony.

The way out to your concerns seems to be given in the conclusions of the paper that I mentioned before (arXiv:1001.2718): "Paraphrasing the Newton’s law of inertia and the de Broglie hypothesis we assume that elementary free bosonic fields have intrinsic space-time periodicities T_\mu = h /...

This idea has been recently proposed in terms of compact time. See for instance arXiv:1001.2718 for a short introduction.

I have no idea. The only papers I know are those above. The first one is an original and very long paper (not yet published on a journal, but I can imagine why). The second is a concise talk given in Sweden (QTRF5). I think he has impressing results and intriguing philosophical implications...

Thank you for your kind replay. I know perfectly how dispersive can be try to find a good paper. My concern is that the mechanisms that establish the good or that bad works are not always fair. With the velocity of communication of the web, and the huge incrementation of the number of papers...

You have perfectly confirmed what I was saying, the most difficult thing to do is a conceptual effort. Even rigorous mathematical demonstrations are useless without a minimal attention. I am not the author, I only know this work as other of the people that you cited. By the way I hope you do not...
