Time symmetry and interpretation of quantum mechanics
A drastic resolution of the quantum paradoxes is proposed, combining (I) von Neumann's postulate that collapse of the state vector is due to the act of observation, and (II) my reinterpretation of von Neumann'...

CPT invariance and interpretation of quantum mechanics
This paper is a sequel to various papers by the author devoted to the EPR correlation. The leading idea remains that the EPR correlation (either in its well-known form of nonseparability of future measurements...

Comments on a recent proposal by Garuccio and Vigier
The two photon problem defined by Vigier and Garuccio should be treated in the second quantization formalism; it is, thus, seen that the amplitude for finding one photon in the interference region of the two l...

MPT versus : A manifestly covariant presentation of motion reversal and particle-antiparticle exchange
We show that particle-antiparticle exchange and covariant motion reversal are two physically different aspects of the same mathematical transformation, either in the prequantal relativistic equation of motion ...

Relativistic dynamics of interacting point particles: Central position of the Wheeler-Feynman scheme
The Wheeler-Feynman (WF) relativistic theory of interacting point particles, generalized by acceptance of an arbitrary spacelike interaction, is shown to possess a privileged status, reminiscent of the “centra...

On some frequent but controversial statements concerning the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen correlations
Quite often the compatibility of the EPR correlations with the relativity theory has been questioned; it has been stated that “the first in time of two correlated measurements instantaneously collapses the oth...

Bohr's discussion of the fourth uncertainty relation revisited
Bohr's 1930 derivation of the uncertainty relation c 2 δm δt≥h bears a close relationship to Einstein's 1913 derivation of the “gravitational redshift” via the “equivalence prin...

On Carmeli's exotic use of the Lorentz transformation and on the velocity composition approach to special relativity
As shown by Ramarkrishnan, the faithful map**, in the sense of Lie groups, of the real line onto the finite segment−1<u<+1 is u=tanh A, from which follows the “relativistic velocity composition law” w=(u+v)/(1+...

On the zigzagging causality EPR model: Answer to Vigier and coworkers and to Sutherland
The concept of “propagation in time” of Vigier and co-workers (V et al.) implies the idea of a supertime; it is thus alien to most Minkowskian pictures and certainly to mine. From this stems much of Vet al.'s mis...

On the zigzagging causility model of EPR correlations and on the interpretation of quantum mechanics
Being formalized inside the S-matrix scheme, the zigzagging causility model of EPR correlations has full Lorentz and CPT invariance. EPR correlations, proper or reversed, and Wheeler's smoky dragon metaphor ar...

The computer and the heat engine
Brillouin sees order as generated by tap** negentropy sources existing upstream, while Prigogine sees it as generated by dum** entropy downstream. Joining both ideas yields a picture of the computer closel...

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...

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...

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.....

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...

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...

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...
