A REVISIT TO EPR PARADOX THROUGH A NEW THOUGHT EXPERIMENT WHICH COUNTERS COPENHAGEN INTERPRETATION

Abstract

Much theoretical and philosophical work has been done to address the incompleteness of the quantum theory as suggested by the Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) paradox published in 1935. Although certain interpretations of quantum mechanics have been able to preserve their consistency against the conditions revolving around quantum entanglement, as put forward by the paradox, Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics has not been able to stand out against the paradox, as implied by Bell’s theorem, at least until recently, without assistance from non-local circumstances, which are extremely denied by the special theory of relativity. We attempt to revisit the paradox and look at its implications through a new thought experiment, which halts both local and non-local conditions, while pointing out previously ignored problems those lie with quantum entanglement.
