Collapse of the Wave Function? Pre‐Stimuli Heart Rate Differences
Antonella Vannini and Ulisse Di Corpo
Abstract
Analyzing the EPR paradox, Schrödinger concluded that the problem lies in the
way time is used in quantum mechanics. The Schrödinger wave equation, which
was the focus of most of the discussion surrounding EPR, is not relativistically
invariant and treats time in an essentially classical way. For example it assumes
that there can be a well‐defined "before" and "after" the collapse of the wave
function. Once the wave function collapses into a particle, the event is
irreversible. On the contrary, when the relativistically invariant wave equation
(Klein‐Gordon’s equation) is taken into account, there is no collapse of the wave
function. In this paper a time symmetric interpretation, proposed by the
mathematician Luigi Fantappiè in 1941, is presented and four experiments
which support this interpretation and challenge the Copenhagen Interpretation
are discussed. In Cramer’s Transactional Interpretation and in de Beauregard’s
Advanced‐Action Interpretation the EPR paradox disappears when advanced
waves are considered to be real physical entities.
