A problem with an instructive description of measurement process for sufficiently separated entangled quantum systems is well known. More precise and crafty experiments together with new technological challenges raise questions about sufficiency of formal use of “black-box” Copenhagen paradigm without subtleties of transition between quantum and classical worlds. In this work are discussed appl...

We suggest a contextual realist interpretation of relational quantum mechanics. The principal point is correct understanding the concept reality and taking into account categorical distinction between ideal real. Within our interpretation, consciousness observer does not play any metaphysical role. proposed approach can also be understood as return to Copenhagen mechanics, corrected within fram...

We present a semantic and pragmatic account of the anaphoric properties of past and perfect that improves on previous work by integrating discourse structure, aspectual type, surface structure and commonsense knowledge. A novel aspect of our account is that we distinguish between two kinds of temporal intervals in the interpretation of temporal operators-discourse reference intervals and event ...

Science! true daughter of Old Time thou art! Who alterest all things with thy prying eyes. Why preyest thou thus upon the poet’s heart, Vulture, whose wings are dull realities? How should he love thee? or how deem thee wise, Who wouldst not leave him in his wandering To seek for treasure in the jewelled skies, Albeit he soared with an undaunted wing? Hast thou not dragged Diana from her car? An...

The accession of up to 13 new members in the next decade is the most important development now facing the European Union. This paper analyses measurable differences in the well-being of children between current club members, the EU Member States, and the 10 Central and Eastern European applicants seeking admission. Two themes are used as a framework for the paper. First, the importance of econo...

Bedard (1999) argues that “Bohm’s interpretation is not as classical as it initially appears” (p. 223) and that, in particular, the common view that the pilot-wave theory can get by with an ontology of just particles “do[es] not make sense” (ibid.). Indeed, “sets of Bohmian particles do not have all the intrinsic properties necessary to constitute a material object” (ibid.). This last remark is...

In this paper I give a new information-theoretic analysis of the formalisms and interpretations of quantum mechanics (QM) in general, and of two mainstream interpretations of quantum mechanics in particular: The Copenhagen interpretation and David Bohm’s interpretation of quantum mechanics. Adopting Juan G. Roederer’s reading of the notion of pragmatic information, I argue that pragmatic inform...

After decades of experimental validation, Bell’s Theorem has changed the ontological status of local realism in physics. But recent theoretical and experimental results present a new challenge to Bell’s analysis. A geometricalgebraic challenge claims that Bell makes a topological mistake, while ‘weak measurement’ results challenge the Copenhagen Interpretation. We review these results and analy...

Einstein initially objected to the probabilistic aspect of quantum mechanics— the idea that God is playing at dice. Later he changed his ground, and focussed instead on the point that the Copenhagen Interpretation leads to what Einstein saw as the abandonment of physical realism. We argue here that Einstein's initial intuition was perfectly sound, and that it is precisely the fact that quantum ...
