| Dec 14, 2015 at 11:35 | comment | added | camel | The idea of a four dimensional spacetime is sufficient for my question, it need not be curved. This flat spacetime is the realm of special relativity which suposedly plays along quite nicely with quantum mechanics. I suppose the question boils down to asking if it's consistent to see a particle as a "cloud" of possible situations in spacetime and this uncertainty of where it used to be and where it now is gives rise to an uncertainty in momentum. | |
