Classical Elastic Two-Particle Collision Energy Conservation using Edward Nelson's Energy, Double Diffusion and Special Relativity

Abstract

The present paper shows that Edward Nelson's stochastic mechanics approach for quantum mechanics can be derived from the two classical elastically colliding particles with masses M and m satisfying a collision momentum preserving equation. The properties of the classical elastic momentum collision expression determine the full Edward Nelson energy collision energy for both particles. This classical total energy expression does not require a statistical expectation since no process was defined for the energy and it models the main and incident particle velocities perfectly. Quantum mechanics can be obtained by modelling the incident particle as a non-random potential using stochastic processes modelling the forward, post-collision and backward pre-collision velocities of the main particle. This presents the Schroedinger equation exactly the way that Nelson proposed in 1966 except for the diffusion constant. In this case the average energy is conserved in time and the forward, post-collision and backward pre-collision velocities of the system are related using statistical methods. If the incident particle does not have a potential the additional constraints for the movement of the incident particle leads to another Schroedinger equation. Finally, under suitable conditions it will be shown that the colliding particles satisfy Minkowski metric in special relativity. This last example shows how gravity can be quantized using details of this energy expression.
