Vacuum Fluctuation (1): the Same Basis of the Relativity and the Quantum Mechanics

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to reveal the deep relationship between matter and vacuum, and to seek for the same physical basis of the relativity and the quantum mechanics. In doing this, three postulates of vacuum fluctuation are proposed first, the basic premises of the relativity and the quantum mechanics including the velocity limit, the energy-frequency relation and the de Broglie wavelength expression of any matter particles are deduced then. As applications, the idea is used to analyze the Compton effect and the electron-positron annihilation. It is found that the calculation becomes simple, and the physical meaning gets clear. The simplicity comes from the power of the three postulates. To illustrate this, the basic conclusions of the special theory of relativity such as the relations of mass-velocity, mass-energy, energy-momentum, time dilation and length contraction are further deduced. In addition, the significance of the investigation of vacuum fluctuation in the unification of the physical theories is pointed out.
