Space-time counterfactuals
Synthese 119 (3):287-298 (1999)
| Abstract | A definition is proposed to give precise meaning to the counterfactual statements that often appear in discussions of the implications of quantum mechanics. Of particular interest are counterfactual statements which involve events occurring at space-like separated points, which do not have an absolute time ordering. Some consequences of this definition are discussed. | |||||||||
