The Deterministic Foundation of Quantum Mechancis
About the Theory
The Elementary Spacetime Cycles Theory (ECT) proposes that each elementary particle behaves as a microscopic internal clock, characterized by an intrinsic periodicity in spacetime. Inspired by de Broglie’s original insight into internal particle recurrence, this geometric and relativistic principle leads to a unified description of quantum and relativistic physics from the foundations of deterministic classical mechanics.
By imposing Periodic Boundary Conditions (PBCs) in spacetime, ECT naturally reproduces the formal structures of quantum mechanics, including quantization, wavefunctions, and non-commutativity, as well as the geometric framework of special and general relativity. Crucially, it also demonstrates that both gauge interactions and gravitational interaction emerge from local modulations of spacetime periodicity—offering a common origin based on the principle of relativistic invariance.
With over 20 peer-reviewed publications and recognition from the Foundational Questions Institute (FQxI), ECT provides a novel deterministic foundation for modern physics and opens new directions in high-energy theory, quantum field theory, condensed matter systems, and the physics of coherence.

🌀 The mystery of Dirac Quantization, and the Intrinsecally Cyclic Nature of Time
In everyday life and classical mathematics, the order of operations often doesn’t matter. If you buy 4 items that cost 3 euros each, or 3 items at 4 euros, it makes no difference: 4×3−3×4=0. This is called commutativity — the idea that A×B=B×A. It’s so fundamental we rarely question it. But in quantum mechanics, this…

📜 Galileo’s First Opponents Were Not in the Church, but in Academia
When we think of Galileo’s struggles, the image that usually comes to mind is that of a lone scientist silenced by the power of the Church. The Inquisition, the trial, the sentence to house arrest — these are the defining episodes in the popular narrative. But the historical record reveals something far less obvious, and…
