Decoherence and Determinism in a One-Dimensional Cloud-Chamber Model  Latest Results for Foundations of Physics on 2018-4-01 12:00am GMT Abstract The hypothesis (Sparenberg et al. in EPJ Web Conf 58:01016, [1]. http://dx.doi.org/10.1051/epjconf/20135801016) that the particular linear tracks appearing in the measurement of a spherically-emitting radioactive source in a cloud chamber are determined by the (random) positions of atoms or molecules inside the… Read more →

Beyond the Dynamical Universe: Unifying Block Universe Physics and Time as Experienced

Published by on

Theoretical physics and foundations of physics have not made much progress in the last few decades. Whether we are talking about unifying general relativity and quantum field theory (quantum gravity), explaining so-called dark energy and dark matter (cosmology), or the interpretation and implications of quantum mechanics and relativity, there is no consensus in sight. In addition, both enterprises are deeply… Read more →

A theory of time based on wavefunction collapse   from  gr-qc  by  Sung-Sik Lee Fri Aug 23 2024 12:15:38 (21 hours) # 1. arXiv:2408.11905v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We propose that moments of time arise through the failed emergence of the temporal diffeomorphism as gauge symmetry, and that the passage of time is a continual process of an instantaneous state… Read more →

A new indeterminacy-based quantum theory   from physics.hist-ph by Francisco PipaFri Apr 05 2024 13:06:36 (21 hours)# 1. arXiv:2310.04002v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: I propose a novel (interpretation of) quantum theory, which I will call Environmental Determinacy-based or EnD Quantum Theory (EnDQT). In contrast to the well-known quantum theories, EnDQT has the benefit of not adding hidden variables, and it is not in… Read more →

Why Bohr was wrong in his response to EPR. (arXiv:2305.06859v1 [quant-ph])   from  physics.hist-ph updates on arXiv.org  by  Aurélien Drezet Fri May 12 2023 08:56:19 (4 days) # 1. We assess the analysis made by Bohr in 1935 of the Einstein Podolsky Rosen paradox/theorem. We explicitly describe Bohr’s gedanken experiment involving a double-slit moving diaphragm interacting with two independent particles… Read more →
