Could an extra time dimension reconcile quantum entanglement with local causality?
- Extending nonlocal hidden variable theories of quantum entanglement with two temporal dimensions may reconcile nonlocal correlations with relativity.
- Theoretical work proposes an experimental test to address quantum entanglement's mystery and Bell's inequality.
- Quantum entanglement challenges were inspired by Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen paradox and John Bell's breakthrough.
- Bell's inequality tests local hidden variables and quantum mechanics' violation of it.
- Investigations of nonlocal hidden variables suggest wavefunction collapse could propagate faster than light.
- Proposed idea of particles with five-dimensional wavefunctions incorporating an extra time dimension to explain instantaneous collapse.
- Pettini suggests an experimental model to test entanglement through the extra time dimension.
- Critics like Jeffrey Bub express skepticism about the two-time model and its implications for entanglement.
- Disagreements exist on the potential success and viability of reconciling entanglement with local causality using extra time dimensions.
- The research on this topic is detailed in Physical Review Research.
