Original Abstract

The aim of the paper is to show the fundamental advantage of the Euclidean Model of Space and Time (EMST) over Special Relativity (SR) in the field of wave description of matter. The EMST offers a unified description of all particles of matter as waves moving through four-dimensional Euclidean space at the speed of light. Unlike the usual description in three dimensions, where the group and phase velocities of a particle differ, in four-dimensional space the wave and the associated particle can be treated as a single object. The paper deepens understanding of the EMST as a viable alternative to SR. The EMST clarifies the origin of relativistic phenomena and at the same time explains the apparent mysteries associated with the wave nature of matter. From the broader perspective, the EMST has all the prerequisites to become the starting point for the mutual combination of "relativistic" and "quantum" physics into a single physical theory.
