The discussion revolves around the potential for Lorentzian relativity to unify quantum mechanics (QM) and Einsteinian relativity, particularly concerning the differing concepts of time in these theories. Participants note that while QM employs a more Newtonian view of time, Lorentzian relativity also incorporates absolute time, raising questions about whether this could help resolve the "problem of time." It is emphasized that QM and Einstein's special relativity can coexist, yielding predictions like antimatter, but that general relativity complicates the relationship due to its curved spacetime. The conversation highlights the challenges in defining time, with comparisons to how length is measured, suggesting that both concepts may ultimately be intertwined. The consensus leans towards the idea that moving back to Lorentzian relativity may not be beneficial, as modern physics has already integrated QM with special relativity effectively.

Turn up the volume :-p according to preference - or not.


Now the problem is sufficiently answered. :biggrin:
