EPR-type of experiment only in the microscopic quantum world.

There is no microscopic physical law that prevents us from postulating this predetermined advanced effect. The immediate, discontinuous nature of a quantum measurement and the wave function reduction, which occur during a very short time interval, would not contradict the second law of thermodynamics. The process of going from a lower to a higher state of entropy, i.e. from an ordered to a disordered state with the accompanying large phase space volume increase and the resulting determination of the macroscopic arrow of time, would not contradict the short time microscopic time reversal associated with the wave function reduction process. An objective reality can be associated with the EPR experiment and still preserve the probabilistic interpretation of quantum mechanics as demanded by the experimental verification of the Bell inequality. However, the time reversal occurring in wave function collapse is [*treated as a purely quantum effect*]{} with no possible counterpart in classical physics.

Conclusions

We have constructed a theory of quantum mechanics that incorporates a wave function reduction process based on the absorber theory of electrodynamics. During the short time that an apparatus detects the properties of a particle associated with an
