Abstract:The concept of ldquopropagation in timerdquo of Vigier and co-workers (V et al.) implies the idea of a supertime; it is thus alien to most Minkowskian pictures and certainly to mine. From this stems much of Vet al.'s misunderstandings of my position. In steady motion of a classical fluid nobody thinks that ldquomomentum conservation is violated,rdquo or that ldquomomentum is shot upstream without causerdquo because of the suction from the sinks! Similarly with momentum-energy in space-time and the acceptance of an advanced causality. As for the CT invariance of the Feynman propagator, the causality asymmetry it entails is factlike, not lawlike. The geometrical counterpart of the symmetry between prediction and retrodiction and between retarded and advanced waves, as expressed in the alternative expressions langB|UArang=langBU|Arang=langB|U|Arang for a transition amplitude between a preparation |Arang and a measurement |Brang, is CPT-invariant, not PT-invariant. These three expressions respectively illustrate the collapse, the retrocollapse, and the symmetric collapse-and-retrocollapse concepts. As for Sutherland's argument, what it ldquofalsifiesrdquo is not my retrocausation concept but the hidden-variables assumption he has unwittingly made.
