  • The energy of a gas is influenced by the logarithm of its mass density, leading to a body force in motion equations that includes density gradient terms.
  • By truncating the series after the second term, we derive Bohm's quantum potential and the Madelung equation, indicating that certain assumptions in quantum mechanics can have a classical interpretation through non-locality.

Article Abstract

Assuming that the energy of a gas depends non-locally on the logarithm of its mass density, the body force in the resulting equation of motion consists of the sum of density gradient terms. Truncating this series after the second term, Bohm's quantum potential and the Madelung equation are obtained, showing explicitly that some of the hypotheses that led to the formulation of quantum mechanics do admit a classical interpretation based on non-locality. Here, we generalize this approach imposing a finite speed of propagation of any perturbation, thus determining a covariant formulation of the Madelung equation.

This article continues the development of the idea that all human behavior and thinking are innate. A model of thinking and functioning of the brain has been constructed, which is capable of explaining both the accuracy of molecular processes and the innateness of behaviors. The focus of the model is the phase of the wave function of the particle, which is an additional (free) parameter.

"Locality" is a fraught word, even within the restricted context of Bell's theorem. As one of us has argued elsewhere, that is partly because Bell himself used the word with different meanings at different stages in his career. The original, weaker, meaning for locality was in his 1964 theorem: that the choice of setting by one party could never affect the outcome of a measurement performed by a distant second party.

By means of electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), it was evidenced experimentally that the rubidium cation (Rb+) reacts with the electroneutral [2.2.2]paracyclophane ligand (C24H24) to form the cationic complex [Rb(C24H24)]+.
