چکیده

It is shown that the independence of the continuum hypothesis points to the unique definite status of the set of intermediate cardinality: the intermediate set exists only as a subset of continuum. This latent status is a consequence of duality of the members of the set. Due to the structural inhomogeneity of the intermediate set, its complete description falls into several “sections” (theories) with their special main laws, dimensions, and directions, i.e., the complete description of the one-dimensional intermediate set is multidimensional. Quantum mechanics is one of these theories. PACS numbers: 03.65.Bz, 02.10.Cz, 11.25.-w The concept of discrete space is always regarded as a unique alternative to continuous space. Nevertheless, there is one more possibility originated from the continuum problem: the set of intermediate cardinality represents the golden mean between the opposing concepts. But although the continuum problem has been solved [1], the status of the set of intermediate cardinality is still unclear. The commonly held view is that, according to the independence of the continuum hypothesis (CH), we can neither prove nor refute existence of the intermediate set and, therefore, CH or its negation must be taken as an additional axiom. However, it may be stated that there exists a unique definite status of the intermediate set which is consistent with the independence of the continuum hypothesis. Since, by definition, the set of intermediate cardinality I should be a subset of continuum R, the independence of CH may be understood as impossibility, in principle, to separate the subset of intermediate cardinality from continuum. In other words, the independence of CH means that for any real number x ∈ R the sentence x ∈ I ⊂ R is undecidable. Reasons of this inseparability, if any, should be investigated. This latent status is the only definite status of the set of intermediate cardinality that is consistent with the generally accepted solution of the continuum problem. However, in order to state that the status follows from the independence of CH, it is necessary to know that standard Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory

"Charge without Charge" in the Stochastic Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics

In this note I examine some implications of stochastic interpretations of quantum mechanics for the concept of "charge without charge" presented by Wheeler and Misner. I argue that if a stochastic interpretation of quantum mechanics were correct, then certain shortcomings of the "charge without charge" concept could be overcome.

Early Gedanken Experiments of Quantum Mechanics Revisited

The famous gedanken experiments of quantum mechanics have historically played crucial roles in trying to understand quantum mechanics and in developing the Copenhagen interpretation. They are re-examined here from the perspective of standard quantum mechanics, without a mix of any ontological interpretation. It is shown that, in most of these gedanken experiments, entanglement plays a crucial r...

Consistent Histories and the Bohm Approach

In a recent paper Griffiths claims that the consistent histories interpretation of quantum mechanics gives rise to results that contradict those obtained from the Bohm interpretation. This is in spite of the fact that both claim to provide a realist interpretation of the formalism without the need to add any new mathematical content and both always produce exactly the same probability predictio...

Quantum Mechanics and Nonlocality: In Search of Instructive Description

A problem with an instructive description of measurement process for sufficiently separated entangled quantum systems is well known. More precise and crafty experiments together with new technological challenges raise questions about sufficiency of formal use of “black-box” Copenhagen paradigm without subtleties of transition between quantum and classical worlds. In this work are discussed appl...

Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics

The problems of modern physics are man made. The Copenhagen version of quantum mechanics is formulated in a vague prosaic way, inconsistencies and paradoxes are the price. New interpretations try to solve the problem, however a reformulation rather than an interpretation is needed. In this manuscript I will point out, where the Copenhagen formulation of quantum mechanics is flawed and how one c...

Pure Quantum Interpretations Are Not Viable

Pure interpretations of quantum theory, which reject the classical part of the Copenhagen interpretation without adding new structure to it’s quantum part, are not viable. This is a consequence of a non-uniqueness result for the canonical operators.
