Abstract

An initial assumption in quantum mechanics is that particles (or subsystems) can be isolated from the physical world but still behave in a realistic fashion. The authors show that the above assumption is not only naive but it has far reaching consequences. In particular, time-reversibility, microscopic reversibility and time-energy uncertainty principles must be reinterpreted for real non-isolated systems. Moreover the new interpretation is far more consistent than that presently accepted for isolated systems.
