Time symmetry and interpretation of quantum mechanics

O. Costa de Beauregard

pp. 35-56

Abstract

There is something truly paradoxial in quantum mechanics. Physicists know well how to use it for explaining or predicting an ever-increasing harvest of phenomena, some of which are striking, even to the expert. Nevertheless, and norwithstanding the appearance, even recently, of some sedative writings by both physicsts ([1]–[6]) and philosophers ofg science, it is clear that may among the leading theorists ([7]–[9]) and the fervent epistemologists ([10]–[13]) remain unsedated by the tranquilizing sort of remedies and keep suspecting that the problem of prerly interpreting quantum mechanics may well conceal a major enigma.
