A Bi-directional Big Bang/Crunch Universe within a Two-State-Vector Quantum Mechanics?
Foundations of Physics 49 (1):53-62 (2019)
Abstract
A two boundary quantum mechanics incorporating a big bang/big crunch universe is carefully considered. After a short motivation of the concept we address the central question how a proposed a-causal quantum universe can be consistent with what is known about macroscopia and how it might find experimental support.My notes
