The solution to the Hardy's paradox
Abstract
By using both, the weak-value formulation as well as the standard probabilistic approach, we analyze the Hardy's experiment introducing a complex and dimensionless parameter () which eliminates the assumption of complete annihilation when both, the electron and the positron departing from a common origin, cross the intersection point . We then find that the paradox does not exist for all the possible values taken by the parameter. The apparent paradox only appears when ; however, even in this case we can interpret this result as a natural consequence of the fact that the particles can cross the point , but at different times due to a natural consequence of the energy-time uncertainty principle.

Significant improvements. One figure and two tables added in order to clarify the paradox. The most fundamental expressions unchanged and fully verified
