On Wavefunction Collapse and the Resolution of the Einstein-Poldolsky-Rosen Paradox for the Entangled Spin-1/2 System
We consider the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox for the case of entangled spin-1/2 particles. Using several gedanken experiments, we show that it is not possible for the spin part of the wavefunction…
On Wavefunction Collapse, the Einstein-Poldolsky-Rosen Paradox and Measurement in Quantum Mechanics and Field Theory
We first consider the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) paradox for the system of two particles with spin 1 2 with entangled spins in first-quantized quantum mechanics. If measurement is governed by…
EVIDENCE OF MACROSCOPIC QUANTUM PHENOMENA AND CONSCIOUS REALITY SELECTION
The purpose of this paper is to present an overview of emergent examples of macroscopic quantum phenomena. While quantum theory asserts that such quantum behaviors as superposition, entanglement, and…
A Critique of Scientific Realism Based in Vedic Principles
The shift from particle to field theories has been crumbling pillars of classical objective science, and is reverberating in philosophy of science. Fundamental issues implicit in objective…
Question 4 : Bohr ’ s view of quantum mechanics
A survey probing respondents’ views on various foundational issues in quantum mechanics was recently created by Schlosshauer, Kofler, and Zeilinger and then given to 33 participants at a quantum…
Yet Another Snapshot of Foundational Attitudes Toward Quantum Mechanics
A survey probing respondents' views on various foundational issues in quantum mechanics was recently created by Schlosshauer, Kofler, and Zeilinger [arXiv:1301.1069] and then given to 33 participants…

The Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics: Many Worlds or Many Words?
As cutting-edge experiments display ever more extreme forms of non-classical behavior, the prevailing view on the interpretation of quantum mechanics appears to be gradually changing. A (highly…
