The missing physics behind the quantum measurement problem entailing collapse of the wavefunction or objective reduction (OR) has been a major unresolved problem leading to the well-known weirdness and foundational paradoxes of quantum mechanics. This paper describes the new relativistic physics of a spontaneously self-decaying or self-forming quantum particle and its spontaneous complementary wave-particle behavior representing the spontaneous mass-energy equivalence principle. The new physics is integrated into a physical/mathematical description of the Objective Reduction or collapse process including the quantitative effects of gravity and kinetic energy (anti-gravity) that govern the instability of a quantum particle. A Relativistic Wave Particle (RWP) model is developed that extends the de Broglie model to include the new relativistic physics predicting wave-particle behavior over the entire range of dynamic states (V=0 to C). The RWP model predicts the coherence and de-coherence boundary or collapse of the wave function. When gravity effects dominate the antigravity governing the instability of the particle, the quantum state or wave function collapses to classical state of mass or particle and vice versa. In addition, the process of collapse caused by interference by a measurement device or observer’s consciousness is also explained. RWP model also describes the inner workings of other well-known quantum phenomena related to non-locality and Heisenberg’s uncertainty, explaining that the measurement uncertainty may not be a fundamental universal reality. The new physics is then integrated also into a Relativistic Universe Expansion (RUE) model that is vindicated by recent empirical observations of the universe expansion and resolves paradoxes of current mainstream cosmology theories, such as dark energy/matter, Hubble Tension, cosmological constant problem, black hole singularity, and massive galaxies observed in early universe etc. The RWP and RUE models reveal the non-local hidden variables explaining the inner workings of quantum mechanics predicting non-locality or entanglement without violating the Bell’s theorem based on local hidden variables. A potential framework for an integrated universal model for matter-mind-consciousness is proposed entailing the observer and the observed.
