Retrocausality Explanations for Quantum Non-locality Abstract: Causality, as the foundations of physics, is applicable to classical physics. However, it does not be applicable in quantum theory, especially in the non-locality assumption resulting from quantum entanglement, which seems to be a unique property of quantum mechanics, and it’s not consistent with special relativity. In this paper, a special causality model is constructed to solve the problem of non-locality through retrocausality theory and provide a fresh approch, which the future causally affects the past or present, and give the relevant argument. Key Words: Quantum mechanics; Backward causation; EPR argument; Bell’s TheoremIssue:Volume 46, lssue 8, August 2024Page: 10-16

An Analysis of Humeanism and Dispositionalism on Laws of Nature Abstract: Laws of nature occupy a central role in scientific practice and have raised profound philosophical questions. Currently, there are two major competing theories of laws of nature in philosophy of science: Humeanism and dispositionalism. According to Humeanism, laws merely supervene on the distribution of mosaic in spacetime, whereas dispositionalism claims that laws reveal the dispositional properties of things. This paper expounds the key perspectives of both positions and their applications in classical mechanics and quantum mechanics. To gain a deeper understanding of the differences between the two, we introduce the concept of grounding and demonstrate through specific examples its unique value in addressing philosophical issues related to laws of nature. Key Words: Laws of nature; Humeanism; Dispositionalism; GroundingIssue:Volume 47, lssue 9, September 2025Page: 30-37
