Time machines and quantum theory

Explaining Quantum Theory

• Bell’s Inequalities

• Aspect’s EPR Experiments

We cannot explain quantum theory with any local hidden variables theory.

We cannot model particles as 3-D solutions [of GR] that evolve in time.

Evolving 3-manifolds…

but, {X↑ Y→} does not exist in theory or experiment.

Geometric models

• We cannot model particles as 3-D solutions that evolve in time.

• Need context dependence/ Non-locality

• Non-trivial causal structure as part of a particle: 4-geon

Quantum Logic• Quantum theory is characterised by an

orthomodular lattice of propositions – a non-Boolean logic.

• so is GR with a acausal space times.

• The only known way to represent experimental probabilities on such a lattice is using subspaces of a Hilbert space.

Testing the orientability of time

mark.hadley@warwick.ac.uk

Acausal manifoldsMathematical and physical descriptions of a space time are not the same

• Space-time

+ The observer

+ The experiments

+ The results..

..are all interlinked

Quantum theory gives a consistent description of such an interlinking.

GR may be the unifying theory

after all

Einstein Rosen Bridgeis not time-orientable

Einstein Rosen bridge: Phys Rev 48, 73 (1935)

mark.hadley@warwick.ac.uk

Other results from non time-orientable manifolds

• Electric, but not magnetic chare from source-free Einstein-Maxwell equations

• Diemer and Hadley Class. Quantum Grav. (1999)

• Explains spin half• Hadley Class. Quantum Grav. (2000)

4-geon• Non-trivial causal structure as part of the

particle.• Particle and its evolution are inseparable.

• Context dependent– Signals from the “future” experimental set up.– Measurement can set non-redundant boundary

conditions

(Time reversal is part of a measurement)

A gravitational explanation for quantum theory

• Aims to explain– QM– Particle spectrum– Fundamental interactions

• Predictions– No graviton (Gravity waves are just classical waves)

– Spin-half

–Parity is conserved
