چکیده

In this work we analyse critically Griffiths’s example of the classical superluminal motion of a bug shadow. Griffiths considers that this example is conceptually very close to quantum nonlocality or superluminality,i.e. quantum breaking of the famous Bell inequality. Or, generally, he suggests implicitly an absolute asymmetric duality (subluminality vs. superluminality) principle in any fundamental physical theory.It, he hopes, can be used for a natural interpretation of the quantum mechanics too. But we explain that such Griffiths’s interpretation retires implicitly but significantly from usual, Copenhagen interpretation of the standard quantum mechanical formalism. Within Copenhagen interpretation basic complementarity principle represents, in fact, a dynamical symmetry principle (including its spontaneous breaking, i.e. effective hiding by measurement). Similarly, in other fundamental physical theories instead of Griffiths’s absolute asymmetric duality principle there is a dynamical symmetry (including its spontaneous breaking, i.e. effective hiding in some of these theories) principle. Finally, we show that Griffiths’s example of the bug shadow superluminal motion is definitely incorrect (it sharply contradicts the remarkable Roemer’s determination of the speed of light by coming late of Jupiter’s first moon shadow).

Superluminal hidden communication as the underlying mechanism for quantum correlations: constraining models

Since Bell’s theorem, it is known that quantum correlations cannot be described by local variables (LV) alone: if one does not want to abandon classical mechanisms for correlations, a superluminal form of communication among the particles must be postulated. A natural question is whether such a postulate would imply the possibility of superluminal signaling. Here we show that the assumption of ...

A General Relativistic Generalization of Bell Inequality

In this work a general relativistic generalization of Bell inequality is suggested. Namely,it is proved that practically in any general relativistic metric there is a generalization of Bell inequality.It can be satisfied within theories of local (subluminal) hidden variables, but it cannot be satisfied in the general case within standard quantum mechanical formalism or within theories of nonloc...

Combinatorics and quantum nonlocality.

We use techniques for lower bounds on communication to derive necessary conditions (in terms of detector efficiency or amount of superluminal communication) for being able to reproduce the quantum correlations occurring in Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen-type experiments with classical local hidden-variable theories. As an application, we consider n parties sharing a Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger-type st...

We consider alternative models to quantum mechanics, that have been proposed in the recent years in order to explain the EPR correlations between two particles. These models allow in principle local hidden variables produced at the source, and some superluminal " hidden communication " (or " influences ") to reproduce the non-local correlations. Moving to the case of three particles, we show th...

Consistent Resolution of Some Relativistic Quantum Paradoxes

A relativistic version of the (consistent or decoherent) histories approach to quantum theory is developed on the basis of earlier work by Hartle, and used to discuss relativistic forms of the paradoxes of spherical wave packet collapse, Bohm’s formulation of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen, and Hardy’s paradox. It is argued that wave function collapse is not needed for introducing probabilities into r...
