A Local $$\psi $$ ψ -Epistemic Retrocausal Hidden-Variable Model of Bell Correlations with Wavefunctions in Physical Space

The effect of time-dilation on Bell experiments in the retrocausal Brans model

“…It has subsequently been shown [88] that the second-order version of de Broglie-Bohm theory does not posssess the necessary relaxation properties. We have argued elsewhere [22] that fine-tuning for retrocausal models may also be approached in a similar manner. That is, given the past and future boundary conditions, the fine-tuning may naturally arise out of the dynamics for some retrocausal models but not for others.…”

“…) is determined by the continuity equation implied by the time evolution of the joint ontic quantum state χ r (x r , 0)|i 1 r ⊗ χ e (x e , 0)|i 2 e via the multi-particle Schrodinger equation. Given these assumptions, the model correctly reproduces the Bell correlations [22]. In the next section, we apply this model to the relativistic case considered in this paper by an appropriate generalization.…”

“…In this article, we answer the question in affirmative for a particular scenario involving the relativistic effect of time-dilation on a Bell experiment. We show that the retrocausal Brans model [22] can be easily generalized to describe this scenario, and that it predicts an experimentally testable consequence of the time-dilation effect on the system. We also discuss the difficulties faced by other hidden variable models in describing this experiment, and their natural resolution in our model due to its relativistic properties: locality, separability and ψ-epistemicity [23][24][25].…”

“…This completes description of the ontology of the model. It can be shown that these proportions remain constant in time [22]. Secondly, we assume that the distribution of positions over the ensemble is given by…”

Nonlinear Quantum Nonolocality and its Cosmophysical Tests

“…However, despite that tremendous progress, J.S Bell himself and other researchers argued that quantum nonlocality phenomena are far from complete understanding and can possess some unknown features [1,4]. In the same vein, many alternative nonlocality theories, prompted by similar thinking, were proposed [5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12]. Additional arguments in favor of these doubts provide the analysis of Bell-EPR correlations from the point of microscopic measurement theories [5,6].…”
