An attempt is made to discuss contradictory aspects of two conflicting interpretations that have been proposed concerning the possible experimental confirmation of quantum-mechanical predictions about a problem referred to as the 'EPR paradox'.

Abstract

An attempt is made to discuss contradictory aspects of two conflicting interpretations that have been proposed concerning the possible experimental confirmation of quantum-mechanical predictions about a problem referred to as the 'EPR paradox'. The first interpretation apparently states that no information or energy travels faster than light and treats spacelike vectors as a combination of two timelike vectors representing a sum of retarded and advanced potentials; the second is reportedly an extension of a model of the causal interpretation of quantum mechanics in terms of a fluid with irregular stochastic fluctuations. Several relevant analyses are carried out.
