This is, in no way, conflicting with the usual quantum mechanical approach. On the contrary, it provides us with the possibility of bridging the special theory of relativity and quantum mechanics, to finally achieve a natural symbiosis between these two disciplines, and furthermore, elucidating the "quantum mechanical weirdness", simply based on the mere law of relativistic conservation of energy. Our theory was developed originally, vis-a-vis gravitational bodies in motion with regard to each other; hence, it is comforting to have both the atomic scale and the celestial scale described on just the same conceptual basis. One way to conceive the rest mass variation of concern is to consider a "jet effect". Accordingly, a particle on a given orbit through its journey must eject a net mass from its back to accelerate, or must pile up a net mass from its front to decelerate, while its overall relativistic energy stays constant throughout. In other words, a minimal rest mass is transformed into extra kinetic energy through an acceleration process, and kinetic energy condenses into extra rest mass through a deceleration process. The tangential speed of the jet in question, strikingly points to the de Broglie wavelength. This, on the whole, makes the jet speed "superluminal", yet excluding any transport of energy. This conjecture coincides with the recent measurements ( Kholmetskii et al., 2007; Salart et al., 2008), and provides a clue for the wave-particle duality, also insures their concurrent coexistence. An important consequence of the approach presented herein is that, either gravitationally interacting macroscopic bodies, or electrically interacting microscopic objects, sense each other, with a speed much greater than that of light, and this, in exactly the same way. In which case, though, the interaction coming into play, excludes any energy exchange; thus, we would like to call it, "wave-like interaction". The present approach ends up the existing schizophrenia, between different conceptions painting separately the micro world and the macro world, and unites these two worlds with an unequal, single and simple conception, based on just the law of relativistic energy conservation.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessSpecial theory of relativityelectric interactiontachyonsde Broglie relationshipsuperluminal or wave-like interactiongeneral theory of relativitygravitationArticle51726792704WOS:000287938100016
