Reconciling reality, space and time: A graviton driven quantum mechanism of cosmic expansion and CMB radiation

Abstract

Abstract The theory of emerging quantum mechanics (EQM) is a quantum field theory in flat 11 dimensional spacetime, quantizing gravity in the weak interaction limit. In EQM the quantum fields materialize (i.e., they become real) if they entangle with the gravonons, i.e. localized gravitons, thereby forming beables. If not entangled with gravonons, the quantum field is in a limbo state as e.g. exemplified by the state inbetween source and screen in the double slit experiment. Quantum diffusion proceeds via repeated limbo - beable transitions. This leads to the impression that particles having been measured at a certain separation in space suddenly disappear and reappear at a different separation. For any cosmological experiment this is consistent with the interpretation that space has expanded. The rate of cosmic expansion is then equal to the rate of beable - limbo transitions. This rate is calculated from first principles and equals the experimentally determined Hubble parameter. Explicit calculations on the generation of the cosmic microwave radiation (CMB) require to consider the beabling process of the electromagnetic quantum field. The beabling condition is fulfilled for light-atom-lattices (LAL). Temperature emerges in EQM by escape of the particle out of the warp resonance (beable). Without fitting any free model parameter the CMB radiation temperature is 2.2 K, which is to be compared to the experimental value of 2.7 K.
