Some paradoxes 

Karmo Talts 

 

Let's look at the statement "at least one necessary condition of this statement is false". If this statement is true, then at least one necessary condition of this statement is false and therefore this statement is false. If this statement is false, then all necessary conditions of this statement are true and therefore this statement is true. 

Now let's look at the statement "all sufficient conditions of this statement are false". If this statement is true, then all sufficient conditions of this statement are false and this statement is false. If this statement is false, then at least one sufficient condition of this statement is true and therefore this statement is true.

Hypothesis that quantum properties depend on measurement 

Karmo Talts

 

Let´s formulate the following hypothesis that quantum x does not have property y to the extent z before we obtain the measurement result that x has property y to the extent z. 

Let´s examine now what it means in this case if one and the same quantum has property x to the extent y in one probable state and property x to the extent z in another probable state. This means that these states are probable if we measure property x. 

Let´s examine now the disjunction: for quantum x, P and Q or R, where statement P applies to the probable state of property y of quantum x and statements Q and R apply to different probable states of property z of quantum x. This means that if we measure property y, then P and if we measure property z, then Q or R.
