There are No Causality Problems for Fermi's Two Atom System

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-28 v1

Abstract

A repeatedly discussed gedanken experiment, proposed by Fermi to check Einstein causality, is reconsidered. It is shown that, contrary to a recent statement made by Hegerfeldt, there appears no causality paradoxon in a proper theoretical description of the experiment.
