Causal Ubiquity in Quantum Physics

A Superluminal and Local-Causal Physical Ontology

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

A fixed highest criterial velocity (of light) in STR (special theory of relativity) is a convention for a layer of physical inquiry. QM (Quantum Mechanics) avoids action-at-a-distance using this concept, but accepts non-causality and action-at-a-distance in EPR (Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen-Paradox) entanglement experiments. Even in such allegedly "non-causal" processes, something exists processually in extension-motion, between the causal and the "non-causal". If STR theoretically allows real-valued superluminal communication between EPR entangled particles, quantum processes become fully causal. That is, the QM world is sub-luminally, luminally and superluminally local-causal throughout, and the Law of Causality is ubiquitous in the micro-world. Thus, "probabilistic causality" is a merely epistemic term.
