Working Paper
This content is a preprint and has not undergone peer review at the time of posting.

Abstract

Einstein: God does not play dice and nothing travels faster than the speed of light. Schrödinger: My cat cannot be both dead and alive. Dirac: The existing quantum theory should not be considered to be the final solution. Feynman: How does it work? de Broglie: My matter wave has an imaginary part. Me: Great! This could be the missing piece the others have been looking for.
