“…Together with the Compton wave length, it sets a unified spacetime Compton scale that limits the wave packets width in space and time before negative energy and negative time components (particle and antiparticle) occur significantly. Moreover, it supports the existence of an internal property, the de Broglie clock with a period τ 0 = h/m 0 c 2 [25,26,27].…”

The conundrum parameter-operator of time in quantum mechanics (QM), as well as the time-energy uncertainty relation and the tunneling delay time, have recently been addressed in attosecond optical ionization experiments. The parameter status of time in the time dependent Schrödinger equation (TDSE) is supported by the well-known Pauli's objection as well as by its interpretation as an emerging property of entanglement with a classical environment. On the other hand, the introduction of a self-adjoint dynamical time operator in Dirac's formulation of electron's relativistic quantum mechanics (RQM), yields an additional system observable that represents an internal time. In the present paper the relation of this internal time with the parametric (laboratory) time and its relevance to the tunneling measurements in these experiments is examined within the standard framework of RQM.

“…If non periodic systems or similarly systems with periodicities larger than our observation time are interacting with the elementary system we are measuring, its periodic evolution will be no more manifest. 21 Time has been defined by counting the number of oscillations of the Cesium atom or of the incense lamp of the Pisa Dome, the number of the orbits of the Earth or of the Moon. But these definitions inevitably make use of the a priori assumption of periodicity of isolated elementary systems and, "by the principle of sufficient reason", we assume that the whole information of these elementary systems is encoded in a single period, as implicitly said by Einstein himself [1] in his definition of a relativistic clock.…”

“…A hypothetic boson with the mass of an electron has an intrinsic rest periodicity, proportional to the Compton wave length, of about 10 −20 s. Even for a mass as light as that, the periodic dynamics are extremely fast. For instance, the oscillation period of the Cs-133 atom, which is used in the operative definition of time, is of the order of 10 −10 s. Remarkably, this intrinsic periodicity of massive particles has been indirectly observed only in a recent experiment [21] for electrons (which for the scope of this paper can be though of as fields with antiperiodic T t ).…”

“…A hypothetical light boson for instance with the mass of an electron has a Compton wave length λ s ∼ 2π × 4 · 10 −13 m which leads to the proper time periodicity T τ ∼ 8 · 10 −21 s. Even for such a light particle, this microscopic time scale can not yet be observed directly in the modern experiments. 7 However, as shown in a recent experiment [21], the modern techniques are reaching a sufficient precision to allow indirect evidences of the de Broglie internal clock of the electron-the proper time periodicity of (20) must be regarded as a general property for massive particles. A massive periodic field turns out to be localized inside the Compton wavelength.…”

Free bosonic fields are investigated at a classical level by imposing their characteristic de Broglie periodicities as constraints. In analogy with finite temperature field theory and with extra-dimensional field theories, this compactification naturally leads to a quantized energy spectrum. As a consequence of the relation between periodicity and energy arising from the de Broglie relation, the compactification must be regarded as dynamical and local. The theory, whose foundamental set-up is presented in this paper, turns out to be consistent with special relativity and in particular respects causality. The non trivial classical dynamics of these periodic fields show remarkable overlaps with ordinary quantum field theory. This can be interpreted as a generalization of the AdS/CFT correspondence.

“…It has now been demonstrated that zitterbewegung corresponds to a physical periodic oscillation in the substructure of an electron (Cattilon et al, 2008). It has also been shown analytically that a closed-loop electromagnetic wave construct could account for the characteristics of spin, magnetic moment and static charge as measured in an electron Elementary sub-atomic particles (Williamson and van der Mark, 1997).…”

Purpose -This paper considers a perspective on particulate matter as being formed from closed loops of waveform energy flow, consistent with observations by de Broglie, Schrödinger and others and supported by recent research findings. It demonstrates that all experimentally verified findings of special relativity may be derived directly from such a model. It further shows a clear form of auto-adaptive behaviour exhibited by such structures. Design/methodology/approach -A generalised closed-loop energy flow model is analysed from first principles. Findings -Motion-dependent time dilation, invariance of the measured speed of light, the Lorentz transformation, mass-energy equivalence (E ¼ mc 2 ) and speed-related increase in apparent mass all follow naturally from this structure. Given this view of matter objective invariance of the speed of light relative to all inertial states of motion is an unnecessary and insupportable assumption. A unique objective rest frame (subject to Hubble expansion of space) is identified. All elementary sub-atomic particles owe their longevity to a non-destructive state-change response to energy input, referred to as "motion". A radically new perspective on time is presented. A possible causal explanation for particle-antiparticle asymmetry is identified. Research limitations/implications -Closed timelike curves are not a possibility. Further implications for all fields of physics are very extensive. Practical implications -There is no conflict between superluminal technologies and causality. Over and above this, possible practical implications are too extensive to be enumerated. Originality/value -The paper is totally original and of significant potential value in various respects.
