Abstract
Bohm's pilot wave theory, introducing the concept of quantum potential, provided a causal, and at the same time nonlocal, description of quantum phenomena. Starting from some results of a-temporal gravitation and loop quantum gravity, we show here that subatomic particles can be interpreted, at the deepest level of reality, as the result of the interaction of energy (in the "entropy state") with one or more elementary grains of a-temporal physical space. A new interpretation of quantum potential is thus introduced and illustrated: The quantum potential intended as "special state of a-temporal physical space in presence of microscopic processes." When we ...
