Abstract Are General Relativity and incompatible? Each in their world, that of the infinitely great and that of the infinitely small, they did not seem to interfere as long as they avoided each other. How- ever, it is their fundamental oppositions that prevent the scientific community from achieving a unification of . The proposal of this paper is to pro- vide a mathematical proof of incompatibility, beyond the fact that they have fundamentally different , between the foundations of General Rela- tivity and , namely the deformation of the geometry of space-time and the Uncertainty Principle, to provide an absolute limitation in establishing a unifying theory of physics, if any.

1 Introduction

It will be demonstrated here that, on the one hand, the conservation of is relative and that, on the other hand, by using it, we can precisely and simul- taneously determine the and the of a subatomic , bypassing the problems related to the non-relativistic aspect of said parti- cle. We will thus demonstrate, by an extremely simple mathematical proof, the incompatibility between the time dilatation principle and the Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle, before interpreting the results on the of observa- tions made.

2 The relative

Let Ω be an object of mass M and Φ a photon of frequency ν and energy E.

In the first situation, Φ is at a distance r1 of Ω.

In the second situation, Φ is at a distance r2 of Ω. In both situations, Φ is observed from an almost flat space-time.

In first situation, the proper time dτ1, relative to the point in which Φ is located in the first situation, is expressed by:

s 2GM c2 dτ1 = dt 1 − (1) r1

In second situation, the proper time dτ2, relative to the point in which Φ is located in the second situation, is expressed by:

s 2GM c2 dτ2 = dt 1 − (2) r2 If:

r1 < r2 (3) Then:

dτ1 < dτ2 (4) Thus, the more Φ moves away from Ω, the more the time dτ proper to the point where the photon Φ is, from the point of view of an observer situated in an almost flat space-time, increases with respect to dt. But:

E = h × ν (5)

We will note E1 the energy of Φ in first situation and E2 the energy of Φ in second situation. So, if we apply the time dilatation to the frequency of the photon , we have in first situation:

h E1 = (6) r 2GM dt 1 − c2 r1 Then:

h E1 = (7) dτ1 And in the second situation: Time Dilatation and Uncertainty Principle 3

h E2 = (8) r 2GM dt 1 − c2 r2 Then: h E1 = (9) dτ1 But:

dτ1 < dτ2 (10) So:

E1 > E2 (11)

The proper times dτ1 and dτ2, derived from the Schwarzschild metric [1], are to be differentiated from the proper time of the photon Φ, these respectively corresponding to the times proper to the positions of the photon Φ in the first and second situations, while dτ corresponds to the time proper to the photon itself, as a particle. Finally, from the point of view of an observer situated in an almost flat space-time, the more Φ moves away from Ω, the lower its decreases, without any energy being transferred from Φ to its environment. Also, the closer Φ gets to Ω, the more its energy increases, again from the point of view of an observer situated in an almost flat space-time, without any energy being brought to the system that Φ constitutes. In conclusion, from the point of view of an observer situated in an almost flat space-time, the energy level of a photon depends on its frequency, depend- ing on the deformation of the geometry of the space-time in which it is located. The conservation of the energy is then relative.

3 Application of the relative conservation of energy to the Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle

Let’s start by considering that: ¯h σ .σ ≥ (12) x p 2m Where: h ¯h = (13) 2π It is, according to the Uncertainty Principle, as expressed through its fun- damental equation, essentially impossible to determine with precision both the position x and the momentum p = mv (and therefore by extension the velocity) 4 Alexandre Georges

of a particle, regardless of observational qualities [2–4]. We apply this theorem to non-relativistic . So, we could not apply relativistic principles to the particle, but we will consider the deformation of the space-time geometry to the point where the particle is located. As seen in section 2, the energy of a photon can vary according to its position. It is then possible, for an observer in an almost flat space-time, to determine the position of the particle moving on an axis, knowing its level of energy. Imagine that we are this observer. Our particle Φ, of known mass m, moves towards another object Ω of known mass M. M is much higher than m. The object Ω is immobile, without rotation, and homogeneous. The axis corre- sponding to the trajectory of the particle Φ is known and rectilinear. Our object Ω is very far, in our simple example, from any other mass object than our particle Φ. As our Φ moves towards our isolated Ω of mass M, it never has the same level of energy from one position to another. If we are able to determine with precision the momentum and the position of the particle, precisely and simultaneously, by applying relativistic principle on the point in which our particle is located, we will prove incompatibility between General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. Moreover, the fact that the impossibility of determination, namely uncer- tainty, is fundamental and independent of the observational qualities does not make the improbability of the previously proposed observational method re- sponsible for the simultaneous and precise determination of the momentum and the position of the particle. In view of De Broglie’s thesis, generalizing the Einstein-Planck relation by applying it to mass particles, we can express:

h λ = (14) p h λ = (15) mv As seen by the principles of pair production process and annihilation pro- cess [5], the mass of our particle corresponds to a potential amount of energy that can be produced. We will then study the particle as a quantity (or more generally a set of quantities) of energy. Thus, if we cannot use the dilatation of the time undergone by a non-relativistic particle, we can determine, however, as seen in section 2, the relative energy level corresponding to the mass of the particle, considering the photon that it could be (or more generally the set of quantities of masses that could be removed in the form of extractable energy). Thus, from the quantity (here set of quantities) of mass, we would consider the quantity (here set of quantities) of relative energy producible from it. All this could make it possible to circumvent the problem of the non-relativistic aspect of the studied particle, the relative conservation of the energy being applied to the quanta of energy. Time Dilatation and Uncertainty Principle 5

Considering that Φ is a particle with a mass from which quantity of energy, quantum by quantum, can be withdrawn up to a finite energy quantity e, corresponding to mc2, we will express m by its set of masses:

i→n X m = mi = m1 + m2 + m3 + ... + mn (16) i=1

Where n is a finite positive integer and where each mi is a part of the particle mass m. Then:

i→n i→n X X e mi = (17) c2 i i=1 i=1 Also:

i→n e X ei e1 e2 e3 en = = + + + ... + (18) c2 c2 c2 c2 c2 c2 i=1

Where each ei is a quantum of withdrawable energy. So:

i→n X e = ei (19) i=1 Considering the proof set out in section 2 and from the point of view of an observer situated in an almost flat space-time, we will express the energy taking into accout the dilatation of time:

h E = (20) dτ We can express:

i→n i→n X X h E = (21) i dτ i=1 i=1 i And:

i→n X h h = (22) dτ dτ i=1 i To finish by:

E h µ = = (23) c2 c2dτ The masse µ is here considered as the mass corresponding to the potentially extractable energy, from the point of view of an observer located in an almost 6 Alexandre Georges

flat space-time. The proof provided in section 2 covers the case of a quantum of energy, the photon. The mass of the particle does not vary, from the point of view of an observer situated in an almost flat space-time, according to the of the space-time geometry, considering the non-relativistic aspect of the particle requiered by the Uncertainty Principle and the fact that the proof provided in section 2 concerns quanta of energy. But the energy level, from the point of view of an observer situated in an almost flat space-time, varies according to the curvature of the space-time geometry, given the fact that its energy E is relative to the frequency ν of its wave. The mass µ is, therefore, not the exact mass m of the particle, but the mass corresponding to the extractable relative energy level E. If: h e = (24) dt And: h E = (25) q 2GM c2 dt 1 − r We can say that: e E = (26) q 2GM c2 1 − r So: s 2GM e = E 1 − c2 (27) r And:

q 2GM E 1 − c2 m = r (28) c2 Now, as expressed here: h λ = (29) mv If we know v and m, we know λ. As stated above, considering the non-relativistic aspect of the particle, we can not directly assign a relative mass µ to our particle, given the fact that the m mass of our particle does not vary depending on the curvature of the space-time geometry. However, the releasable energy e has no physical existence either, from the point of view of an observer located in an almost flat space-time. Thus, from the point of view of this observer, the totality of the releasable energy that he could perceive, given the fact that he is not Time Dilatation and Uncertainty Principle 7

limited as regards observational capacity, is the extractable relative energy E. He cannot determine observatively µ, since it does not have a demonstrable physical existence, but it can consider E, without knowing the position of the particle, by establishing it by the , as being the extractable energy e (or here the set of extractable energy quantities) modified by the deformation of the geometry of space-time that this potential value naturally undergoes, as stated in section 2. To conclude, our observer, being not limited as regards observational capacity, cannot know the relative mass µ of the particle, because of its physical inexistence, but can know the set of extractable energy quantities E, whose energy level varies according to of the deformation of the geometry of space-time, as a parameter of the system of the particle, if we naturally consider its physical existence as shown above. Now that we know v, we know λ, and nothing in the Uncertainty Principle prevents us from observing by observation the set E of extractable relative energy quantities of our particle at the same time. Thus, we can develop: h λ = (30) mv h λ = (31) q 2GM c2 E 1− r c2 v

q 2GM E 1 − c2 h r = (32) c2 λv s 2GM 2 2 hc E 1 − c = (33) r λv s 2GM 2 2 hc 1 − c = (34) r λvE

2GM 2 2 hc 1 − c = ( )2 (35) r λvE

2GM 2 2 hc c = 1 − ( )2 (36) r λvE

2GM c2 = r (37) hc2 2 1 − ( λvE ) Where r is the distance between Ω and Φ, our particle moving towards the object Ω of known mass M. Finally, knowing by observation E, v, and λ, we know r, so the position x of Φ on the axis, as an observer with no limitations on observational capability. 8 Alexandre Georges

We can say that it is entirely possible, according to General Relativity, to determine, with precision and simultaneity, the momentum and the position of the same particle.

4 Conclusions

By applying relativistic principles to precisely and simultaneously determine the position and momentum of a massive particle, we prove the incompat- ibility between Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle and time dilatation and, by extension, the incompatibility between Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity. Perhaps Einstein was right in saying that God does not play dice, perhaps the Uncertainty Principle and the theses that are based on him are correct, or perhaps none of these two models is perfectly exact. But there cannot be in one Universe these two models, precisely and simultaneously. By applying relativistic principle to the point in which the extractible quanta of energy, corresponding to our non-relativistic particle, are located, we circumvent the problem of the inapplicability of General Relativity to non- relativistic subatomic particles by direct ways. However, we get results showing their contradiction in a situation where both should be correct. As long as the two fundamental models which describe the functioning of our Universe were not supposed to both apply in the same situation, it was possible to conceive of them as two effective approximations of the same model, integrating both the Uncertainty Principle and the relativity of space and you time. But the mathematical oddity exposed seems to suggest that it is no longer possible to include both without major revision of one or the other, or both. The propo- sition of a theory unifying physics, of which General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics would just be approximations, now seems unlikely, the two models contradicting each other on a case in which they should both be correct. If General Relativity, proved in particular by the detection of gravitational [6,7] and other [8–11], and Quantum Mechanics, supported no- tably by the recent discovery of the Higgs [12,13], are both correct, it cannot, in such circumstances, have any , of which the two models would just be approximations. We can of course ask ourselves whether the observability of the P hi pa- rameter E, ie the physical existence of its extractible relative energy, is only a mathematical oddity, but it would be a limit to the observational capabili- ties of our observer, which the Heinsenberg’s Uncertainty Principle does not provide. Finally, for the Uncertainty Principle not to be here refuted, we must con- ceive that the principle of dilatation of time, in itself, may be compatible with it, and that therefore Relativity may be severely revised. The observation does not seem to show that this can be the case, the ”behaviour” of the space-time seeming to correspond too precisely to that foreseen by the General Relativ- ity. It seems that we have just refuted the Uncertainty Principle as stated by Time Dilatation and Uncertainty Principle 9

Werner Heisenberg, by application, not contrary to the limits posed by the Uncertainty Principle itself, of relativistic principles. It would now be interesting to consider observations validating the princi- ples of Quantum Mechanics by revising the Uncertainty Principle or by finding an alternative.
