On Stapp-Unruh-Mermin Discussion on Quantum Nonlocality: Quantum Jumps and Relativity

Quantum Physics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We argue that the participants of the discussion have overlooked an essential circumstance, in view of which Stapp's fifth proposition fails. The circumstance is that though LL and RR measurements, being causally separated, are not invariantly time ordered, quantum-jump hypersurfaces associated with the measurements are causelikewise ordered. Stapp's fifth proposition is true iff LL hypersurface precedes RR one; but within the limits of special relativity, it is impossible to determine the causelike order of those hypersurfaces. The entire Stapp's construct is revised.
