Lapsing Quickly into Fatalism: Bell on Backward Causation
Travis Norsen, Huw Price
TL;DR
This paper presents a dialogue exploring Bell's perspectives on retrocausal interpretations of quantum mechanics and their implications for understanding backward causation in quantum theory.
Contribution
It offers a detailed discussion of Bell's views on retrocausality, connecting historical insights with contemporary debates in quantum foundations.
Findings
Bell's support for retrocausal approaches to quantum theory
Implications of backward causation for quantum interpretations
Historical context of Bell's views on retrocausality
Abstract
This is a dialogue between Huw Price and Travis Norsen, loosely inspired by a letter that Price received from J. S. Bell in 1988. The main topic of discussion is Bell's views about retrocausal approaches to quantum theory, and their relevance to contemporary issues.
