Insolubility Theorems and EPR Argument
I present a very general and simple argument — based on the no-signalling theorem — showing that within the framework of the unitary Schrödinger equation it is impossible to reproduce the phenomenological description of quantum mechanical measurements (in particular the collapse of the state of the measured system) by assuming a suitable mixed initial state of the apparatus. The thrust of the a...
متن کاملTheorems on Efficient Argument Reductions
A commonly used argument reduction technique in elementary function computations begins with two positive floating point numbers α and γ that approximate (usually irrational but not necessarily) numbers 1/C and C, e.g., C = 2π for trigonometric functions and ln 2 for e. Given an argument to the function of interest it extracts z as defined by xα = z + ς with z = k2−N and |ς| ≤ 2−N−1, where k,N ...
متن کاملThe EPR Argument in a Relational Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics
It is shown that in the Rovelli relational interpretation of quantum mechanics, in which the notion of absolute or observer independent state is rejected, the conclusion of the ordinary EPR argument turns out to be frame-dependent, provided the conditions of the original argument are suitably adapted to the new interpretation. The consequences of this result for the ‘peaceful coexistence’ of qu...
متن کاملReflexivity and the diagonal argument in proofs of limitative theorems
This paper discusses limitations of reflexive and diagonal arguments as methods of proof of limitative theorems (e.g. Gödel’s theorem on Entscheidungsproblem, Turing’s halting problem or Chaitin-Gödel’s theorem). The fact, that a formal system contains a sentence, which introduces reflexitivity, does not imply, that the same system does not contain a sentence or a proof procedure which solves t...
متن کاملDetergent Insolubility and Lipid Rafts
phase domains, leaving the lo-phase domains relatively unchanged as DRMs. Both of these approaches showed that TX100 did not substantially change the relative amounts of membrane in the two phases. By contrast, using calorimetry, Heerklotz and colleagues reported that TX100 can induce phase separation in previously uniform mixtures (45, 46). However, results of the other two studies described a...
