Abstract
A hydrodynamic model of the Weyl–Dirac theory in the non-relativistic approach is established. Any microparticle is permanently interacting with the ‘subquantum level’ through the quantum potential, which depends only on the imaginary part of a complex speed. The complex speed fields indicate a possible connection between the Weyl–Dirac theory and Scale Relativity Theory. In such conjecture, some properties of the vacuum states result: the vacuum states behave as a superconducting state, they act as an energy accumulator etc.
