Space-Time, Elements of Reality, and Probability Revisited

Abstract

Soon after my investigations of teleportation, we received a very encouraging e-mail. Andrei Khrennikov invited us to attend a conference that he was organizing on the topic of foundations of probability and quantum mechanics and to present our work there. The conference was in Va¨xjo¨, Sweden, and Walter and I started working on a major presentation.

Was He Right?

Karl Hess

There was a follow-up to the Leiden conference organized in Prague (Frontiers of Quantum and Mesoscopic Thermodynamics), and Vaclav Spicka sent me an e-mail with an invitation to give one of the plenary presentations. Zeilinger was also to give one in the same session, and Hans and Kristel told me that they would attend and give a presentation too. Looking forward to see also Andrei Khrennikov, Theo Nieuwenhuizen, and many other friends, I accepted immediately and started to prepare a presentation in collaborationwith Hans and Kristel. I alsowanted to go to Prague for two personal reasons. My grandmother was Czech and I had never been in Prague, because of the problems with the “iron curtain” that fortunately did not exist anymore. The second personal reason was that Robert Basler, my best friend in Illinois who had died the previous year, had visited Prague, where he had lived in his youth, as his last travel wish and had told me how great this city was. I also was looking forward to visit my mother in Vienna on my way back to Hawaii. Sylvia had collected mileage upgrades so that I could fly first class. Going any other way from Hawaii is painful, because of the enormous distances involved; one travels around half the world. I flew from Hawaii to San Francisco and stayed there for a night, and the next day to Frankfurt and Vienna, from where I took the bus. When I finally arrived at the hotel in Prague after a total of two travel days, I was pretty tired, in spite of the fact that I had my own bed on the 380 Airbus from San Francisco to Frankfurt.

Last Work with Walter

Karl Hess

Before our publication of (Hess and Philipp, 2004), my inaugural paper for the National Academy of Sciences, Walter and I organized a meeting at the Beckman Institute of the University of Illinois to present all of our ideas and to discuss them with the experts. The meeting was a disappointment for me, because not many of the scientists who had criticized us came. Tony was present and discussed his opposing views. I do not remember any other discussions that we had not heard before, and the presentations that Walter and I gaveweremathematically too complex. Our adversaries did not like what we said; only our friends did. Andrei Khrennikov and also Louis Marchildon were present and very supportive.

Letters to Henry Folse

Christopher A. Fuchs

17 January 2001, “First Contact” I am writing this letter to find out if you are interested in attending a conference in Växjö, Sweden this summer titled “Quantum Theory: Reconsideration of Foundations.” I do this because I have read a few of your papers and parts of your book on Bohr, and I have been extremely impressed. By trade, I am a practitioner of the new field of quantum information theory and computing – and indeed the main session I am organizing at the Växjö meeting will be about quantum foundations reconsidered in that light – but your description of Bohr's thought meshes so well with what I'm seeking in physics that I'd like to get you there too. PLEASE NOTE that this is not exactly a real invitation yet: I am still lobbying for a more philosophical contingent at the meeting. But, I would very much like to hear your reaction just as soon as possible. If things work out, and you would like to come, I will recontact you very soon with further details. The main reason I want you at our meeting is that I have this “madly optimistic” (Mermin called it) feeling that Bohrian–Paulian ideas will lead us to the next stage of physics. That is, that thinking about quantum foundations from their point of view will be the beginning of a new path, not the end of an old one.
