Are we living in a bidirectional big bang / big crunch universe?

Fritz Bopp

An intricate quantum statistical effect guides us to a deterministic, non-causal quantum universe with given fixed initial and final state density matrix. A concept is developed on how and where something like macroscopic physics can emerge. The concept does not allow to incorporate philosophically indispensable free will decisions. If the quantum world and its conjugate evolve independently one can replace both fixed final states by a matching common one. This allows for external manipulations done in the quantum world and its conjugate which do not otherwise alter the basic structure. In a big bang / big crunch universe the expanding part can be attributed to the quantum world and the contracting part to the conjugate one. The obtained bi-linear picture has a number of beautiful and exciting consequences.

An Intricate Quantum Statistical Effect and the Foundation of Quantum Mechanics

Fritz W. Bopp

Abstract An intricate quantum statistical effect guides us to a deterministic, non-causal quantum universe with a given fixed initial and final state density matrix. A concept is developed on how and where something like macroscopic physics can emerge. However, the concept does not allow philosophically crucial free will decisions. The quantum world and its conjugate evolve independently, and one can replace fixed final states on each side just with a common matching one. This change allows for external manipulations done in the quantum world and its conjugate, which do not otherwise alter the basic quantum dynamics. In a big bang/big crunch universe, the expanding part can be attributed to the quantum world and the contracting one to the conjugate one. The obtained bi-linear picture has several noteworthy consequences.

Causal Classical Physics in Time Symmetric Quantum Mechanics

Fritz Bopp

The letter submitted is an executive summary of our previous paper. To solve the Einstein Podolsky Rosen “paradox” the two boundary quantum mechanics is taken as self consistent interpretation of quantum dynamics. The difficulty with this interpretation is to reconcile it with classical physics. To avoid macroscopic backward causation two “corresponding transition rules” are formulated which specify needed properties of macroscopic observations and manipulations. The apparent classical causal decision tree requires to understand the classically unchosen options. They are taken to occur with an “incomplete knowledge” of the boundary states typically in macroscopic considerations. The precise boundary conditions with given phases then select the actual measured path and this selection is mistaken to happen at the time of measurement. The apparent time direction of the decision tree originates in an assumed relative proximity to the initial state. Only the far away final state allows for classically distinct options to be selected from. Cosmologically the picture could correspond to a big bang initial and a hugely extended final state scenario. It is speculated that it might also hold for a big bang/big crunch world. If this would be the case the Born probability postulate could find a natural explanation if we coexist in the expanding and the correlated CPT conjugate contracting world.
