DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/QMFNoT/14/">
 Classical Wave Mechanics</a>\nby Robert Close (Clark College) as part of Q
 M Foundations & Nature of Time seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nThis is an attempt t
 o describe elementary particles using classical continuum mechanics. First
 \, a wave equation is derived for infinitesimal shear waves in an elastic 
 solid. Next\, a change of variables is used to describe the waves in terms
  of classical spin angular momentum density\, which is the field whose cur
 l is equal to twice the classical momentum density. The second-order wave 
 equation is then converted to a first-order Dirac equation. Plane wave sol
 utions are presented\, and the dynamical operators of relativistic quantum
  mechanics are derived. Wave interference gives rise to the Pauli exclusio
 n principle and electromagnetic potentials.\n
