Feynman Checkerboard as a Model of Discrete Space-Time
In 1965, Feynman wrote of using a lattice containing one dimension of space
and one dimension of time to derive aspects of quantum mechanics. Instead of
summing the behavior of all possible paths as he did, this paper will consider
the motion of single particles within this discrete Space-Time lattice,
sometimes called Feynman's Checkerboard. This empirical approach yielded
several predicted emergent properties for a discrete Space-Time lattice, one of
which is novel and testable.Comment: 10 pages, 14 figures - changed section 6 titl
