A gravitational explanation for quantum theory — non-time-orientable manifolds

摘要

Spacetime manifolds that are not time orientable play a key role in a gravitational explanation of quantum theory. Such manifolds allow topology change, but also have fascinating additional properties such as net charge from source-free equations and spin half transformation properties. It is shown how the logical structure of propositions and the probabilities of quantum theory arise from such acausal space times.
