To Believe or Not Believe in the 4-Potential, That’s a Question. The Electric Helmholtz–Mikhailov Effect and its Magnetic Analog
Helmholtz’ electrically induced extra mass inside a charged hollow sphere, recently evidenced by Mikhailov, is analogous to Mach’s inertial mass. Existence of a corresponding magnetically induced extra mass in...

To Believe Or Not Believe In The A Potential, That’s a Question. Flux Quantization in Autistic Magnets. Prediction of a New Effect
Electromagnetic gauge as an integration condition was my wording in previous publications. I argue here, on the examples of the Möllenstaedt-Bayh and Tonomura tests of the Ahraronov–Bohm (AB) effect, that not onl...

Relativistic Quantum Mechanics as a Telegraph
A derivation by Fröhner of non-relativistic quantum mechanics via Fourier analysis applied to probability theory is not extendable to relativistic quantum mechanics because Schrödinger's positive definite prob...

TIGHT MACH-STYLE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EINSTEIN MASS-ENERGY AND INERTIA-GRAVITY EQUIVALANCES. REMARKS ON A RECENT EXPERIMENT BY MIKHAILOV
Equivalence of the two famous Einstein equivalences is, U denoting the cosmological potential, expressed à la Mach as U=c 2. The electrostatic analog is induction of an extra mass −c −2eV (esu) in an electron im...

Lawlike Reversibility, Factlike Irreversibility. The Symmetry of Time in Physics
Mehlberg's and Lewis' phrases in the title aptlyrender Boltzmann's and Gibbs' views. Statisticalcorrelation of physical events expresses theirinteration or propagated causality. Information, as(retarded) cogni...

Electromagnetic Gauge as Integration Condition and Selection of the Source Adhering Gauge
Sequel to previous papers with analogous titles. QA1 as potential extra-inertia of a point charge Q moving inside a source adhering 4-potentiai A1 . Ampere tension as recoil force on a generator and a motor conne...

Electrodynamics of interacting point charges: Excellence of the 1865 clausius approximation
Clausius force as equivalent to a time-instant Lorentz force. Action-reaction opposition expressed with the help of potential momenta QA. Conservation of a system's total mass, linear, angular and barycentric ...

Article
On the joint probability of correlated physical occurrences
Correlation meaning interaction for physical occurrences, the joint probability formalizes this interaction and conceptualizes a stochastic causality. Bayesian reversibility then expresses action-reaction symm.....

Article
Macroscopic retrocausation
Referring to Stapp's and Schmidt's recent papers: a Feynman transition amplitude |I><M><F| used retrodictively with post-selected outgoing bras<F| formalizes psychokinesis—Jaynes' qualification of the mind-induce...

Chapter
The Great Veil, Reality, and Louis de Broglie: Personal Memories
A history-making insight: Louis de Broglie as a realist, his reticences towards formalism.

Chapter
Intersubjectivity, Relativistic Invariance, and Conditionals (Classical and Quantal)
Mutual dependence of probabilities of two physical occurences implies existence of an interaction or causal link between them. Axiomatized along these lines, the formalization of conditionals comes out as iden...

“Anti-realism”: answer to phil Dowe
It is quite true that my intersubjectivity is not deduced but assumed. Using the opportunity provided by Dowe's observations, I summarize the reasons that have led me to this choice.

Chapter
Intersubjectivity, Relativistic Covariance, and Conditionals (A New Axiomatization)
Conceived in a pre-field-theoretic era, the Bayesian axiomatization of conditional probabilities disregards the spacetime propagation of causality as expressed by the transition probabilities of physics. We sh...

Electromagnetic gauge as an integration condition: De Broglie's argument revisited and expanded
Einstein's mass-energy equivalence law, argues de Broglie, by fixing the zero of the potential energy of a system,ipso facto selects a gauge in electromagnetism. We examine how this works in electrostatics and in...

Timing in EPR correlations
Detecting the instants of absorption of two paired EPR particles, and varying independently the distances of the detectors to the source, will experimentally display the V-shaped causal link between the two co...

Intersubjectivity, relativistic covariance, and conditionals: response to C. I. J. M. Stuart
A misunderstanding persists between Stuart and me, which I do my best to clarify. Bayesian “inverse subjectivities” versus relativistic covariance and “physical intersubjectivity” are discussed. A “joint numbe...

Is there a reality out there?
Joseph Bertrand's 1888 evidencing that assignment of a probability depends upon what one chooses to know or not and to control or not, congruent with Grad's 1961 evidencing that statistical entropy depends upo...

Retrocausality and conditional probability: reply to C. I. J. M. Stuart
Stuart objects to the premisses of my approach to the question of joint and conditional probabilities, so I will use renovated terms in their favor. Then he claims that my theory is self-contradictory; I will ...

Quantization of reimannian gravity: interaction representation
A Riemann-covariant expression of Schwinger's procedure, leading from a Heisenberg to an interaction representation, completes here our quantization of the coupling of a massive graviton field and a spin-zero ...

Quantization of reimannian gravity: Heisenberg representation
The system of equations recently proposed for a massive graviton, together with an associated spin-zero Kemmer or Proca field ofx-dependent rest mass, define, in a Riemannian covariant form, the Heisenberg repres...
