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...

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.....

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...

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...

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...

Chapter
Relativity and Probability, Classical or Quantal
A ‘manifestly relativistic’ presentation of Laplace’s formalism of conditional probabilities is proposed, and its ‘correspondence’ with Dirac’s formalism of transition amplitudes is displayed. Algebraic revers...

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...

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 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+...

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 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...

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...

Time Symmetry and Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics
There is something truly paradoxial in quantum mechanics. Physicists know well how to use it for explaining or predicting an ever-increasing harvest of phenomena, some of which are striking, even to the expert...

Chapter
CPT Invariance as Basic for Interpreting Quantum Mechanics
This paper is an expanded version of one recently published in Foundations of Physics and is a continuation of previous works devoted to the EPR correlation.
