The Relation between Wavefunction and 3D Space Implies Many Worlds with Local Beables and Probabilities
Ovidiu Cristinel Stoica
We show that the quantum wavefunctional can be seen as a set of classical fields on the 3D space aggregated by a measure. We obtain a complete description of the wavefunctional in…
Freedom in the many-worlds interpretation
Ovidiu Cristinel Stoica
I analyze the possibility of free-will in the many-worlds interpretation (MWI), arguing for their compatibility. I use as a starting point Nicolas Gisin's "The Multiverse Pandemic"…
Does quantum mechanics require "conspiracy"?
Ovidiu Cristinel Stoica
Quantum states containing records of incompatible outcomes of quantum measurements are valid states in the tensor-product Hilbert space. Since they contain false records, they conf…
Background freedom leads to many-worlds with local beables and probabilities
Ovidiu Cristinel Stoica
I argue that background freedom in quantum gravity automatically leads to a dissociation of the quantum state into states having a classical space. That is, interference is not com…
Born rule: quantum probability as classical probability
Ovidiu Cristinel Stoica
I provide a simple derivation of the Born rule as giving a classical probability, that is, the ratio of the measure of favorable states of the system to the measure of its total po…
The Problem of Irreversible Change in Quantum Mechanics
Ovidiu Cristinel Stoica
I prove that, if a change happens in a closed quantum system so that its state is perfectly distinguishable from all past or future states, the Hamiltonian is $\widehat{H}=-i\hbar\…
Empirical adequacy of the time operator canonically conjugate to a Hamiltonian generating translations
Ovidiu Cristinel Stoica
To admit a canonically conjugate time operator, the Hamiltonian has to be a generator of translations (like the momentum operator generates translations in space), so its spectrum…
Is the Wavefunction Already an Object on Space?
Ovidiu Cristinel Stoica
Since the discovery of quantum mechanics, the fact that the wavefunction is defined on the -dimensional configuration space rather than on the -dimensional space ha…
Refutation of Hilbert Space Fundamentalism
Ovidiu Cristinel Stoica
According to the "Hilbert Space Fundamentalism" Thesis, all features of a physical system, including the 3D-space, a preferred basis, and factorization into subsystems, uniquely em…
3D-Space and the preferred basis cannot uniquely emerge from the quantum structure
Ovidiu Cristinel Stoica
Hilbert-Space Fundamentalism (HSF) states that the only fundamental structures are the quantum state vector and the Hamiltonian, and from them everything else emerge uniquely, incl…
Are mental states nonlocal?
Ovidiu Cristinel Stoica
I show that if mental states are function of physical states, then they are nonlocal, in a sense that will be explained. I argue that, if mental states are reducible to brain physi…
Standard Quantum Mechanics without observers
Ovidiu Cristinel Stoica
The Projection Postulate from Standard Quantum Mechanics relies fundamentally on measurements. But measurements implicitly suggest the existence of anthropocentric notions like mea…
Chiral asymmetry in the weak interaction via Clifford Algebras
Ovidiu Cristinel Stoica
Despite its tremendous success, the Standard Model of particle physics does not explain why the weak interaction breaks chiral symmetry. Various unified theories got us closer to a…
A representation of the wave function on the three-dimensional space
Ovidiu Cristinel Stoica
One of the major concerns of Schrödinger, Lorentz, Einstein, and many others about the wave function is that it is defined on the -dimensional configuration space, rat…
The post-determined block universe
Ovidiu Cristinel Stoica
A series of reasons to take quantum unitary evolution seriously and explain the projection of the state vector as unitary and not discontinuous are presented, including some from G…
Revisiting the black hole entropy and the information paradox
Ovidiu Cristinel Stoica
The black hole information paradox and the black hole entropy are currently extensively researched. The consensus about the solution of the information paradox is not yet reached,…
The Standard Model Algebra - Leptons, Quarks, and Gauge from the Complex Clifford Algebra Cl6
Ovidiu Cristinel Stoica
A simple geometric algebra is shown to contain automatically the leptons and quarks of a family of the Standard Model, and the electroweak and color gauge symmetries, without predi…
The universe remembers no wavefunction collapse
Ovidiu Cristinel Stoica
Two thought experiments are analyzed, revealing that the quantum state of the universe does not contain definitive evidence of the wavefunction collapse. The first thought experime…
Searching for microscopic classical cats
Ovidiu Cristinel Stoica
With the exception of superselection rules, there are no known explicit violations of the Principle of quantum Superposition. However, quantum measurement and the emergence of clas…
On the wavefunction collapse
Ovidiu Cristinel Stoica
Wavefunction collapse is usually seen as a discontinuous violation of the unitary evolution of a quantum system, caused by the observation. Moreover, the collapse appears to be non…
Kaluza theory with zero-length extra dimensions
Ovidiu Cristinel Stoica
A new approach to the Kaluza theory and its relation to the gauge theory is presented. Two degenerate metrics on the -dimensional total manifold are used, one corresponding to…
And the math will set you free
O. C. Stoica
Can mathematics help us find our way through all the wonders and mysteries of the universe? When physicists describe the laws governing the physical world, mathematics is always in…
The geometry of singularities and the black hole information paradox
Ovidiu Cristinel Stoica
The information loss occurs in an evaporating black hole only if the time evolution ends at the singularity. But as we shall see, the black hole solutions admit analytical extensio…
Causal Structure and Spacetime Singularities
Ovidiu Cristinel Stoica
In General Relativity the metric can be recovered from the structure of the lightcones and a measure giving the volume element. Since the causal structure seems to be simpler than…
