We prove a theorem showing that quantum mechanics is not directly a stochastic process characterizing Brownian motion but rather its square root. This implies that a complex-valued stochastic process is involved. Schr\"odinger equation is…

The problem of time in canonical quantum gravity remains one of the most significant challenges, primarily due to the "frozen" formalism emerging from the Wheeler-DeWitt equation. Within the ADM formalism, we introduce a novel approach in…
