Retrocausality in Quantum Phenomena and Chemical Evolution
نویسنده
چکیده
The interplay between retrocausality and the time-reversal symmetry of the dynamical law of quantum mechanics underscores the significance of the measurement dynamics with the use of indivisible and discrete quantum particles to be mediated. One example of empirical evidence demonstrating the significance of retrocausality going along with time-reversal symmetry is seen in the operation of a reaction cycle to be expected in chemical evolution. A reaction cycle can hold itself when the causative operation of the cycle remains robust, even when facing frequent retrocausal interventions of a quantum-mechanical origin. Quantum mechanics in and of itself has potential in raising a reaction cycle in the prebiotic phase of chemical evolution, even without any help of artefactual scaffoldings of an external origin.

Toy Models for Retrocausality
A number of writers have been attracted to the idea that some of the peculiarities ofquantum theory might be manifestations of ‘backward’ or ‘retro’ causality, underlying thequantum description. This idea has been explored in the literature in two main ways:firstly in a variety of explicit models of quantum systems, and secondly at a concep-tual level. This note introduces a...
متن کاملTime-symmetry without retrocausality: how the quantum can withhold the solace
It has been suggested that some of the puzzles of QM are resolved if we allow that there is retrocausality in the quantum world. In particular, it has been claimed that this approach offers a path to a Lorentz-invariant explanation of Bell correlations, and other manifestations of quantum “nonlocality”, without action-at-a-distance. Some writers have suggested that this proposal can be supporte...
متن کاملDoes Time-Symmetry Imply Retrocausality? How the Quantum World Says “Maybe”
It has often been suggested that retrocausality offers a solution to some of the puzzles of quantum mechanics: e.g., that it allows a Lorentz-invariant explanation of Bell correlations, and other manifestations of quantum nonlocality, without action-at-a-distance. Some writers have argued that time-symmetry counts in favour of such a view, in the sense that retrocausality would be a natural con...
متن کاملPhysics Without Causality - Theory and Evidence
The principle of cause and effect is deeply rooted in human experience, so much so that it is routinely and tacitly assumed throughout science, even by scientists working in areas where time symmetry is theoretically ingrained, as it is in both classical and quantum physics. Experiments are said to cause their results, not the other way around. In this informal paper, we argue that this assumpt...
متن کاملQuantum Mechanics and Retrocausality
The classical electrodynamics of point charges can be made nite by the introduction of e ects that temporally precede their causes The idea of retrocausal ity is also inherent in the Feynman propagators of quantum electrodynamics The notion allows a new understanding of the violation of the Bell inequalities and of the world view revealed by quantum mechanics
