- The key idea behind my conception of how the nonlocal quantum connection is
- a practical communication channel in standard quantum mechanics in spite of
- the bogus matheamtical arguments to the contrary is right here. Feynman's
- "sum over histories" Lagrangian multiple-time formulation may not be
- equivalent to the Hamiltonian operator fixed-time formulation of quantum
- mechanics. The latter emerges from the former as a special case just like
- the Schrodinger fixed-time wave function emerges from the sum of path
- amplitudes. The commutativity of the hermitian observables is necessary
- for compatibility (i.e., non-interference) of measurements but not
- sufficent in the presence of both "entanglement" and "interfering
- alternatives". It is the last that is essential. It is correct to say
- that if there is commutativity and entanglement but no interference (the
- situation in the actual experiments of Clauser, Aspect et-al) then there is
- no quantum connection communication. But, if the interference is
- engineered correctly then such communication across spacelike intervals and
- backward along timelike and lightlike intervals is possible. Indeed, the
- origin and evolution of the universe depend upon quantum connection
- communication.
