We introduce the Single Quantum Uncertainty Sphere (SQUS) Hypothesis, merging Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity to solve the cosmological constant (Λ) problem. We propose a novel method for calculating Λ, considering the quantum-derived vacuum energy within a single, universe-encompassing Uncertainty Sphere. Our theoretical value of Λ closely aligns with observed data, challenging the reliance on dark energy for cosmic expansion. This hypothesis offers a revolutionary perspective on the universe’s composition and fundamental forces, emphasizing a singular quantum uncertainty pervasive throughout the material universe.

Time in Quantum Scale

Our model equates time on a quantum scale to space. It suggests that as the universe ages, its expansion may eventually halt due to the decreasing influence of the Uncertainty Sphere.

Wave Function Collapse

The renowned physicist Eugene Wigner theorized that the collapse of the wave function in quantum mechanics requires an independent observer. This theory intriguingly corresponds with our results. Recognizing the observer (living beings) within the Uncertainty Sphere, which, although embedded in the universe, is not part of it. Wigner’s hypothesis aligns with our findings.

Particle Entanglement Over Vast Distances

The existence of a single uncertainty sphere simplifies the explanation of particle entanglement over large distances. This concept suggests that particles, regardless of the physical distance separating them, remain connected within the proximity to the same uncertainty sphere. As a result, actions performed on one particle can instantaneously affect its entangled counterpart, regardless of the space between them.

Philosophical Implications

The concept of an observer within the Single Quantum Uncertainty Sphere raises profound philosophical questions about life beyond the material world. This idea encourages the exploration of consciousness and the interconnectedness of all living beings within this sphere.

Quantum Tunneling and Vacuum Energy Fluctuations

 The SQUS theory describes how particles can “borrow” energy to move through energy barriers, a process known as quantum tunneling. Instead of “trying to jump” over potential barriers at higher scales, they exploit the proximity to the Uncertainty Sphere to bypass limitations arising from classical mechanics. Diving into lower scales and the close presence of the Uncertainty Sphere causes the indeterminacy of the particle itself, as well as the barriers, and their manifestation in wave form. This makes the level of vacuum fluctuations as significant as the energy of the particle or the barriers. It allows particles to overcome obstacles that would normally be insurmountable by delving into scales near the Uncertainty Sphere and “borrowing” energy from the vacuum, all within the constraints of quantum laws (and within the Planck constant).

Particle-wave duality

Particles with lower energies exhibit more wave-like properties than those with higher energies, a concept that aligns with the de Broglie hypothesis, to overcome potential barriers that are classically impossible to penetrate. The de Broglie hypothesis, which introduces the wave-particle duality, states that every particle or quantic entity may be partly described in terms not only of particles, but also of waves. Thus, the wavelength of a particle is inversely proportional to its momentum, implying that lower energy particles, with lower momentum, have longer wavelengths and hence exhibit more pronounced wave-like behavior.
