Macroscopic Causality

Jan Rzewuski

In the book the idea of irreversibility as an inherent property of time is developed theoretically and experimentally. The matter is related with causality, and the method of causal analysis is presented. The quantum causal analysis helps understand the principle of week causality which admits extraction of information from the future without the classical paradoxes. It implies a possibility of observation of the future as the existing reality. So, the acceptance of time irreversibility leads to a striking manifestation of reversibility – signaling in reverse time. Quantum insight allows considering correlations of the distant irreversible processes as nonlocal ones originated from a macroscopic entanglement. The experimental approach to study of macroscopic nonlocality is discussed, and design of the experimental setup is described. The results of experiments on macroscopic nonlocal correlations, the signals in reverse time and their application to the forecast of large-scale random processes are expounded.

The long-term Baikal Deep-Sea Experiment on study of macroscopic entanglement and advanced response of nonlocal correlation detectors to natural random dissipative processes is conducting. There are both advanced and retarded nonlocal correlations, which correspond to the same direction of causality. However, time reversal causality prevails over usual time respecting one. It is the most prominent property of macroscopic entanglement and manifestation of quantum principle of weak causality. In particular, there is an advanced response to the random component of solar activity, which can be used for the forecast of this component.
