Quantum mechanics and the time travel paradox | David T. Pegg
; | Date: |
17 Jun 2005 | Journal: | D. T. Pegg, Times’ arrows, quantum measurement and superluminal behavior (eds. D. Mugnai, A. Ranfagni and L. S. Schulman) (Consiglio Nazionale Delle Richerche, Roma, 2001) p. 113 | Subject: | quant-ph | Abstract: | The closed causal chains arising from backward time travel do not lead to paradoxes if they are self consistent. This raises the question as to how physics ensures that only self-consistent loops are possible. We show that, for one particular case at least, the condition of self consistency is ensured by the interference of quantum mechanical amplitudes associated with the loop. If this can be applied to all loops then we have a mechanism by which inconsistent loops eliminate themselves. | Source: | arXiv, quant-ph/0506141 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
