A Reinterpretation of Quantum Physics A Fundamental choice in Physics between Causality and Uncertainty Wim Vegt Abstract- Erwin Heisenberg's groundbreaking work, published in 1925 in the journal "Zeitschrift für Physik" under the title "On the quantum-theoretical reinterpretation of kinematical and mechanical relationships," marked a pivotal shift in Physics. This publication, often referred to as "Die Umdeuting," laid the groundwork for modern quantum physics. Causality, a central concept shared by Philosophy, Theology, and Physics, has historically linked Newtonian Physics with philosophical and religious perspectives. However, Heisenberg's introduction of the Uncertainty Principle in 1920 challenged this unifying concept of Causality, disrupting the traditional connections between these fields. Modern Physics is built upon four foundational pillars: Newton's Classical Mechanics, Maxwell's Electrodynamics, Bohr's Quantum Physics, and Einstein's General Relativity. Any inadequacy or error in these foundational principles could potentially revolutionize our understanding of modern physics. The new physics model presented suggests an incompleteness within one of these fundamental foundations: Maxwell's Electrodynamics and its treatment of light's inertia. By addressing this limitation and introducing the idea of light's inertia in equations, a significant fundamental shift in Physics is proposed. This shift aims to reconcile Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle with Newton's Causality Principle, thereby bridging the gap between Philosophy, Theology, and Physics through a shared concept of Causality. Heisenberg's publication, "Die Umdeuting," in 1920 had a profound impact on the dialogue between science and religion by challenging notions of causality and responsibility within the fundamental fabric of our reality. It questioned the assumption of a deterministic universe and raised complex philosophical questions about human agency and accountability. The article also explores Einstein's cautionary stance during the 1927 Solvay Conference, where he warned against disregarding the principle of causality in Physics. This warning, exemplified by his famous statement, "God does not play Dice," underscored the importance of understanding the consequences of our choices and the interconnectedness of philosophical, scientific, and ethical considerations. Furthermore, the article presents a new theoretical framework challenging Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle by revisiting the relationship between wavelength and frequency in electromagnetic waves, particularly in gravitationally confined environments. This alternative interpretation aims to demonstrate that fundamental uncertainty may not be as inherent as previously thought, shedding new light on the interplay between gravity and light in phenomena such as Black Holes. The implications of this new theory extend to experimental validations involving gravitational red shift measurements and the constant value of the gravitational constant "G." By comparing predictions from General Relativity and the proposed theory, the article highlights potential discrepancies and reaffirms the importance of reconciling Quantum Physics and General Relativity in our quest for a comprehensive understanding of the universe.

G ravity Einstein approached the interaction between gravity and light by the introduction of the “Einstein Gravitational Constant” in the 4-dimensional Energy- Stress Tensor. G + g = T µν µν µν κ Λ (1) In which μν G equals the Einstein Tensor, g µν equals the Metric Tensor, T µν equals the Stress-Energy tensor, Λ equals the cosmological constant and κ equals the Einstein gravitational constant. An alternative approach to Einstein’s expression with the tensor T µν κ , describing the curvature of the Space-Time continuum, is the sum of the Electromagnetic Tensor T µν and the Gravitational Tensor J µν . T T + J µν µν µν κ ⇔ (2) The 4-dimensional divergence of the sum of the Electromagnetic Stress-Energy tensor and the Gravitational Tensor expresses the 4-dimensional Force- Density vector (expressed in [N/m3] in the 3 spatial coordinates) as the result of Electro-Magnetic- Gravitational interaction.
