T Violation and the Unidirectionality of Time: Further Details of the Interference

  • Published:
Foundations of Physics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

T violation has previously been shown to induce destructive interference between different paths that the universe can take through time which leads to a new quantum equation of motion called bievolution. Here we examine further details of the interference and clarify the conditions needed for the bievolution equation.
