摘要
Spacetime at the quantum level is modeled by a surface whose shape is governed by the gravitational field of the experiment. At each finite level of resolution, this surface is a lattice structure which is shaped by the geometry and mass distribution of the experiment. Different deBroglie length particles 'see' different lattice structures. The shape of the spacetime structure determines the probalistic motion of the particles passing through it. Computer experiments verify interference effects for particles passing through the spacetime structure when the deBroglie length is large and no interference when the deBroglie length is small.
