Abstract

We show that the local and deterministic mode of description is not only in conflict with the quantum theory, but also with relativity. We argue that elementary relativistic properties of spacetime lead to the emergence of a non-deterministic quantum-mechanical picture involving quantum superpositions and complex probability amplitudes.

  1. A delightful quirk of relativity theory 1 comment

    • At least when you think of objects moving slower than light there can't be reversing of casuality. But relativity allows for that, we just drop the faster than light solutions usually as non-physical. Recently there's been an interesting paper about what happens when we don't…

  2. Time Travel: Probability and Impossibility 1 comment

    • Recently an interesting paper came out that starts by accepting all solutions to special relativity (usually the faster-than-light solutions are ignored) and goes on to derive the axioms of quantum mechanics from just that. It turns out what you need to prevent timetravel…
