Resonant interactions between an orbiting electron e and the Dirac eigenmode generated by the interaction of the electron's de Broglie field with the atomic nucleus n.
Source publication
A conceptual summary is given of a deterministic unified field and particle theory (the metron model) developed in more mathematical detail in a four-part paper published in Physics Essays (1996/97). The model is developed from Einsteins vacuum gravitational equations, Ricci tensor $R_{LM}=0$, in a higher dimensional space. It is postulated that th...

... yields a discrete set of trapped eigenmodes ψ m with eigenfrequencies ω m , together with a continuum of free modes. In the metron model, in which there exists a real orbiting electron particle, one is concerned with three fields (Fig.3): the de Broglie field of the orbiting electron, the electromagnetic field of the atomic nucleus and the scattered de Broglie field generated by the interaction of the de Broglie field of the electron with the nucleus. ...

... the resulting forcing frequency is equal to an eigenfrequency ω m of one of the atomic eigenmodes, the eigen- mode is forced in resonance and, in the absence of further interactions, would grow linearly with time. However, the eigenmode acts back, again in reso- nance, on the orbiting electron (Fig.3). The net effect of the simultaneous resonant interactions is that the orbiting electron is trapped in discrete orbits that are in resonance with the eigenmodes of eq.(33). ...

During his long career, Klaus Hasselmann has been a boss and teacher but also a colleague to many people. Therefore, we have asked quite a few of these people about how they remember their time with him.

While Klaus Hasselmann began, as many theoretical physicists do, expecting to find a solution to the “turbulence problem” (whatever that is), he noticed that this would be a rather big challenge, and that it may also be good to tackle easier problems. And that is what he did before returning to the old dream when he retired, although he was not particularly successful in attracting praise and recognition.

Klaus Hasselmann was born in Hamburg in 1931. His family fled to England in 1934 because of the Nazis, so he grew up in an English-speaking environment, and returned to Hamburg after the war, where he studied physics, started a family, and became an innovative researcher. Later, he spent several years in the United States of America, but always returned to Hamburg, where he became the founding director of the Max-Planck-Institut für Meteorologie in 1975. His Institute soon became one of the world’s leading research facilities in the field of climate science. He retired in 2000, but continued his work in climate science as a “grey eminence” in the background, whilst his heart and mind turned to particle physics. He recently turned 90, and we—a group of former co-workers, scientific friends and colleagues—decided that we had to tell the story of this remarkable man.

An overview is given of a classical unified theory of gravity,
elementary particles and quantum phenomena based on soliton solutions of
Einstein's vacuum equations in twelve dimensional space. Bell's theorem
on the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen experiment, which is widely interpreted
as ruling out classical explanations of quantum phenomena, is shown to
be non-applicable as violating time-reversal symmetry. Entanglement is a
relativistic consequence of Newon's third law and a property of all
time-symmetrical theories, whether classical or quantal. The metric
solitons (metrons) are composed of strongly nonlinear periodic core
components, far fields corresponding to the classical gravitational and
electromagnetic far fields of point-like particles, and further fields
representing the weak and strong interactions. The core fields represent
nonlinear eigenmodes trapped in a self-generated wave guide.
Computations are presented for the first family of elementary particles
corresponding to the lowest nonlinear eigenmodes; the second and third
families are assumed to correspond to higher eigenmodes. It is shown
that the periodicities of the soliton core modes produce the
wave-particle duality paradoxes of quantum phenomena, as exemplified by
single- and double-slit particle diffraction and the discrete structure
of atomic spectra.

... All these derivations of the basic equations of particle and continuum dynamics can be performed, classically and quantally, in perfect analogy when the proper formalism is at hand, yielding the quantum description almost routinely once the classical description is known. The following eight sections will show how to do it, starting from Kundt (1966), and attempting to incorporate additional insight by Pool (1966), Leaf (1968, De Groot and Suttorp (1972), Ehlers (1973), Fischer et al. (1998), Hasselmann (1998 , and a number of unpublished lecture notes on statistical mechanics. ...
... Why then try to describe all of physics in quantum language? Not even John Bell's inequalities for certain (entanglement) experiments with elementary particles can convey this message, because their crucial assumption is causality , the existence of an arrow of time (de Beauregard 1976; Hasselmann 1998). Instead, all fundamental equations of physics are time reversible, both classical and quantal. ...
... It would be a triumph for Einstein's elegant relativity theory if it could also be applied to the fundamental particle problem. The only promising approach of this kind that I am aware of is Klaus Hasselmann's 8-d metron theory (Hasselmann 1997Hasselmann , 1998), whose basic Kundt boundary-value equations take the form: ...
A survey is given of the elegant physics of N-particle systems, both classical and quantal, non-relativistic (NR) and relativistic, non-gravitational (SR) and gravitational
(GR). Chapter 1 deals exclusively with NR systems; the correspondence between classical and quantal systems is highlighted
and summarized in two tables of Sec. 1.3. Chapter 2 generalizes Chapter 1 to the relativistic regime, including Maxwell’s
theory of electromagnetism. Chapter 3 follows Einstein in allowing gravity to curve the spacetime arena; its Sec. 3.2 is devoted
to the yet missing theory of elementary particles, which should determine their properties and interactions. If completed,
it would replace QFT; promising is the ‘metron’ approach.
