Hamilton-Jacobi Many-Worlds Theory and the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle

Published 26 Jul 2010 in quant-ph | (1007.4566v1)

Abstract: I show that the classical Hamilton-Jacobi (H-J) equation can be used as a technique to study quantum mechanical problems. I first show that the the Schr\"odinger equation is just the classical H-J equation, constrained by a condition that forces the solutions of the H-J equation to be everywhere $C2$. That is, quantum mechanics is just classical mechanics constrained to ensure that ``God does not play dice with the universe.'' I show that this condition, which imposes global determinism, strongly suggests that $\psi*\psi$ measures the density of universes in a multiverse. I show that this interpretation implies the Born Interpretation, and that the function space for $\psi$ is larger than a Hilbert space, with plane waves automatically included. Finally, I use H-J theory to derive the momentum-position uncertainty relation, thus proving that in quantum mechanics, uncertainty arises from the interference of the other universes of the multiverse, not from some intrinsic indeterminism in nature.
