Unveiling the Connection: ER bridges and EPR in the work of Einstein

TL;DR

This paper examines Einstein's perspective on ER bridges and EPR, arguing that Einstein aimed to modify general relativity to incorporate quantum characteristics like local realism and causality, distinct from quantum mechanics.

Contribution

It clarifies Einstein's intent to differentiate between particles and systems in ER and EPR, emphasizing his efforts to integrate quantum features into classical gravity theories.

Findings

Einstein sought to explain quantum phenomena through modifications of general relativity.

He proposed representing particles with ER bridges connecting flat sheets.

The paper suggests Einstein's approach was to preserve local realism and causality.

Abstract

This paper explores the ER bridges theory and its relationship with quantum phenomena. An argument can be made that the ER bridges theory does not explicitly address quantum phenomena and implies that Einstein intended to differentiate between individual particles within the ER bridges theory and the systems involved in the EPR paradox. However, this paper contends that Einstein held a distinct viewpoint. He endeavored to elucidate quantum characteristics by modifying general relativity, aiming to incorporate concepts such as local realism, separability, causality, and determinism, without relying on the principles of quantum mechanics. He proposed representing elementary particles using parallel ER bridges connecting two flat sheets to achieve this.
