Physics Beyond the Limits of Uncertainty Relations

Abstract

The paper is a brief informal introduction to C*-algebraic foundations of causal contextual subquantum theories. In particular, it is explained how the contextuality property (which is a necessary consistency condition of all causal subquantum theories) naturally appears within the framework of certain C*-algebraic extensions of the quantum observables algebras. Furthermore, a question of locality is discussed. It is explained that the appropriate non-Kolmogorovian probability theory allows us to unify both locality and causality with the principles of quantum mechanics, overcoming the obstacles given by Bell's inequalities.
