Dear Dr. DiRienzo,

In "Reappraisal of the causal interpretation of quantum mechanics and of the quantum potential concept", quant-ph/0305183, you wrote:

"There are, however, weaknesses in the original theory. One of the most obvious of these relates to the quantum potential Q: What is its source? Typically in physics a force, and its associated potential, have a source. However, nowhere in the literature is this fundamental question addressed in a physically reasonable way.
...
"6. Address two fundamental problems: What is the physical reason for the forces associated with the quantum potential? What is the source of these quantum forces?"

May I ask two questions.

Q1: Where the quantum potential comes from?

Q2: Where the quantum waves in QM come from?

My speculations can be read at

You also wrote: "Furthermore, the fourth quote allows for the possibility that an isolated system may self-accelerate in the absence of any known force."

Just like the acceleration of the universe. The force is unknown, people call it "dark energy",

I will be happy to hear from you and from your distinguished colleagues.
