Abstract: This talk explores the intriguing link between quaternion quantum mechanics and the model of the elastic continuum proposed by Augustin Cauchy, highlighting the potential of this interdisciplinary connection to advance our understanding of quantum physics. We elucidate the derivation of non- and relativistic wave equations from the Cauchy theory and Hamilton quaternion algebra, demonstrating how the quaternion representation of the elastic continuum provides a comprehensive picture of quantum mechanics. This innovative interpretation addresses the ontological challenges often associated with quantum theory, offering a means to generalize and test the theory. Transitioning from the theoretical to the practical, we delve into a unique visualization of spinors using quaternions. We elucidate how the quaternionic representation enables a comprehension of the Dirac equation and the concept of spin 1/2, pivotal to the Planck-Kleinert model and the Pauli Exclusion Principle. We present an interactive simulation of a periodically twisting 3D grid, visualizing the spin 1/2 behavior of fermions in an elastic solid.

By visualizing Dirac spinors using two orthogonal quaternions, we illuminate the complex rotation behavior of spin 1/2 particles, drawing analogies with the famous Dirac belt trick. We define two quaternion functions that represent rotations as functions of time and distance, respectively. The visualization of the resultant spinor function as a series of concentric shells offers a illuminating representation of quantum spin, enhancing our understanding of its behavior in both time and space.
