Quantal theory of gravity’s two‐entity formalism: wavefront and corpuscle constituents of the test particle coexist as per recent atom-interferometry

This study develops the two-entity formalism of the Quantal Theory of Gravity (QTG) to model the coexistence of the diffractively expanding wavefront constituent of a particle and its localized mass (core or kernel) constituent that couples to the wavefront. These two constituents together co-dependently form the entire particle. Starting from a single root integral energy conservation law , we arrive at a quasi-Newtonian equation of motion for each entity, both of which converge to the classical equation of Newton in the weak-field and low-velocity limit. The said root conservation law can also lead to a Schrödinger-type wave equation that is yet fully relativistic, through a modified momentum operator corresponding to the wave-like description of the interaction. In the corpuscular regime, the same equation reduces to a projectile-like or ballistic equation of motion. Such a unified treatment provides the mechanical explanation for the reciprocity of wave and corpuscule manifestations , as observed in the gradual transition from the former to the latter in recent single-particle diffraction experiments ( including single-photon realizations ). In particular, QTG posits that interference patterns and localized detection events arise from two distinct physical entities that exist simultaneously, rather than positing mutually exclusive and philosophically puzzling measurement outcomes. Our findings thus suggest that wave equations and classical trajectories emerge from a common energy conservation principle, offering a singularity-free framework aimed at bridging quantum mechanics (QM) and gravitational physics. QTG makes empirically testable predictions, where we propose diffraction experiments be performed i ) in the single-particle regime at a vertical incline or ii ) via the application of an electrical field ( in the case where one deals with diffracting charged particles ). The rest-mass dynamics (RMD) approach at hand is applicable to all bound fields, and, in addition, anticipated the practical absence of gravitational deflection, as lately corroborated for ultra-high-energy γ -rays near Earth’s surface.
