Rationalization of EPR Coincidence Experiments

Abstract

Coincidence experiments on EPR pairs show strong violations of Bell's Inequalities at certain filter settings which is widely believed to mean that local hidden variable models cannot explain these results. In this paper it is shown that the 'non-separable' singlet density matrix can be represented as a sum of separable density matrices which are products of individual non-hermitian spin operator states. This decomposition is consistent with the intuitive notion that after separation from the singlet the two physical systems should be described by a product state. In spite of the non-hermiticity, the values of the relevant spin observables are real. A new local hidden variable model inspired by this decomposition is discussed.

Joss-Weinberg covariant field with mass and spin $\frac{3}{2}$

We present the explicit theory of the Joss-Weinberg covariant field with spin $\frac{3}{2}$ which is a eight-dimensional massive covariant field transforming according to the representation $(\frac{3}{2},0)\oplus(0, \frac{3}{2})$ of the group $SL(2,\mathbb{C})$. As the transformation matrices of this representation are still unknown, we apply a new method for deriving them using exclusively maximally reducible representations, e. g. $(1,0)\otimes(\frac{1}{2},0)$ instead of the irreducible one $(1,\frac{1}{2})=(1,0)\otimes(0,\frac{1}{2})$ we meet in usual frameworks. After applying this method, we obtain a $12$-component covariant field transforming according to the representation $[(1,0)\otimes(\frac{1}{2},0)]\oplus [(0,1)\otimes(0, \frac{1}{2})]$ which is maximally reducible, up to subspaces of irreducible representations of the $SU(2)$ group. Consequently, after developing the theory in the direct product basis of the representation $(1,0)\otimes(\frac{1}{2},0)$, we can separate the sector of spin half revealing thus the genuine Joss-Weinberg covariant field of spin $\frac{3}{2}$, transforming according to the representation $(\frac{3}{2},0)\oplus(0, \frac{3}{2})$. In this manner the theory of Joss-Weinberg covariant field of spin $\frac{3}{2}$ can be build naturally deriving the field equation and associated matrices, Lagrangian formalism, inner product and the closed expressions of the orthonormal mode spinors.

Summary of the theory of noncontractible physical space

There are a plenty of phenomenological, mathematical and philosophical reasons to modify or generalize our currently accepted theories in particle physics, cosmology and gravity. I give a comprehensive list of anomalies, puzzles and problems in the field of particle physics, cosmology and gravity that is the essential motivation for the curiosity driven research. The critiques of the Higgs mechanism, inflationary mechanism, instantons, sphalerons, gravity waves and the Hawking radiation are given in details. I introduce the minimal distance (UV cut-off) to resolve the UV singularity problem in quantum field theory of particle physics, minimal distance in quantum mechanics and in the nonsingular Einstein-Cartan theory of gravity relevant in cosmology. The universality of the minimal distance can be and should be checked within particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology. The dark matter problem, the dark energy problem, light neutrino masses and mixing, cosmic rays muon puzzle, B meson anomalies, Tevatron t-quark charge asymmetry, W boson mass anomaly, lepton and baryon number violations, chirality of the vorticity of the Universe, kinematic dipole anomaly, etc., all have unique and clear solutions within my theory. The dimensionality of spacetime and a perfect balance between the translational and rotational degrees of freedom in Minkowski and Riemann-Cartan spacetimes are the crucial ingredients in my reasoning.

Liénard--Wiechert potentials and the electromagnetic memory effect

Classical electrodynamics is one of the most well-tested and understood theories in physics. After more than a century of history, it may be surprising that such an established theory still makes new predictions that have not yet been experimentally verified. A noteworthy example is the memory effect---a prediction that an electromagnetic wave can leave a lasting influence long after it has passed. This influence is manifested in a velocity ``kick'' on a test charge. This simple remark lies at the heart of modern investigations of the low-energy behavior of gravity, electrodynamics, and gauge theories and awaits confirmation (or refutation) through experiments. From a pedagogical perspective, this current research topic beautifully epitomizes how standard concepts from undergraduate electrodynamics can still lead to new physics. In this work, we use the Liénard--Wiechert solutions for the electromagnetic fields of moving charges to understand what the memory effect is, where it comes from, and how it could be experimentally probed in the near future. We also discuss the connections between the memory effect and other important topics in fundamental physics, as well as the search for memory in modern gravitational wave observatories.
