Abstract

I outline a model where a massive particle in 4D spacetime follows a null (photon-like) path in 5D canonical (super-spherically-symmetric) space. This leads to wave-particle duality and quantization, along with other effects which show that it is possible to unify general relativity and wave mechanics in a simple fashion, given an extra dimension.
