The Uncertainty Principle derived by the finite transmission of light and information

Published 2013-09-24, updated 2013-09-26Version 2

This work shows that in the frame of the stochastic generalization of the quantum hydrodynamic analogy (QHA) the uncertainty principle can be derived by the postulate of finite transmission speed of light and information . The theory shows that the measurement process performed in the large scale classical limit of stochastic QHA (SQHA), cannot have a duration smaller than the time need to the light to travel the distance up to which the quantum non-local interaction extend itself. The product of the minimum measuring time multiplied by the variance of energy fluctuation due to presence of stochastic noise shows to lead to the minimum uncertainty principle. The paper also shows that the uncertainty relations can be also derived if applied to the indetermination of position and momentum of a particle of mass m in a quantum fluctuating environment.
