论文摘要

我们试图通过模拟确定性模型系统(台球游戏)来使超级确定性更直观。在此系统中,最初的“爆炸”将所有事件相关联,就像在超级确定的宇宙中一样。我们介绍了“强”和“软”的超级确定性的概念,以澄清文献中的辩论。基于与台球的类比,我们表明,超确定性相关性可能是原则上存在的,但对于所有实际目的都是无法检测的。这使我们能够反对超确定主义的经典异议,例如声称这与科学方法和建立新理论是不符的。最后,我们表明,作为物理理论,概率理论表明,超确定性比其竞争对手具有更大的解释力:它可以一致回答其他职位仍然无能为力的问题。

We attempt to make superdeterminism more intuitive, notably by simulating a deterministic model system, a billiard game. In this system an initial 'bang' correlates all events, just as in the superdeterministic universe. We introduce the notions of 'strong' and 'soft' superdeterminism, in order to clarify debates in the literature. Based on the analogy with billiards, we show that superdeterministic correlations may exist as a matter of principle, but be undetectable for all practical purposes. This allows us to counter classical objections to superdeterminism such as the claim that it would be at odds with the scientific method, and with the construction of new theories. Finally, we show that probability theory, as a physical theory, indicates that superdeterminism has a greater explanatory power than its competitors: it can coherently answer questions for which other positions remain powerless.
